You let go of me!
Mom
You are not worried that your daughter will get hurt?
Master Chung, how very kind of you
You already gave me your daughter
Now you want to throw in your wife?
Mom...
Wan Chung Hok, put my daughter down
Don't worry
I will be very good to her
Mom...
Wan Chung Hok, let go of my shimo
Third, why are you so bent on ruining my affairs
You don't want to be the enemy of South Sea School?
What do you mean?
You molest my shimo You are insulting me, Ngok the Third
Now let her down
What if I don't?
You really won't?
- Mom... - Ling, you all right?
Stop crying!
What you have done with that Tuen
Where can I put my face?
Tragedy, tragedy
Mom, please
Nothing happened between me and Brother Tuen
Nothing... a man and a woman alone in a room
The clothes in disarray And you said nothing?
I told you nothing happened
I was switched
How come?
Brother Tuen's four subordinates
They came in through a tunnel
And they switched me with Sister Yuen Ching
I think they should have left Myriad Calamity Valley by now
Why didn't you say it earlier?
Your dad almost killed you
Luckily Prince Tuen saved you
Why didn't you say it?
It was chaotic and Dad was so mean How could I say it?
Your dad is always so rash
He blows his top off at the slightest hint
Let us not bother with him, let us go
Po... it was my fault, please forgive me
Miss Muk, don't go, wait a bit longer
I think His Highness will be back soon
I don't want to see him, why should I wait?
You don't want to see him But he wants to see you
You are unreasonable
I say I want to go and I will go What can he do with me?
It is not that easy, ask me first
You...
Brother Koo, don't be impolite
Miss Muk
You won't let me go?
Please don't be mistaken
I just don't want you to get into a fight
Then what do you want?
Miss Muk, please don't get me wrong
We are on the order of His Highness
We dare not give you a hard time
We just hope you can stay here for a bit longer
Till His Highness is back
Please don't make it difficult for us
Please sit, please
Get Miss Muk a cup of hot tea
Sister Ching, I am relieved you are all right
Spare me your concern
I don't want such a brother
Sister Ching...
- Yuen... - Hung Min, let us go in
Let them brother and sister have a chat
Sister Ching... Why are you avoiding me?
You couldn't wait to see me before
It was different
You used to be my... but now...
You are still my good sister
I still care for you as much
Sister Ching, since it is our fate
We can't fight it, we have to accept it
Sister Ching
How can I accept it?
You have forgotten my vow?
I haven't, you said
The first man to see your face
You have to marry him or kill him
Then you want me to marry you or to kill you?
Sister Ching, you calm down first
Even if you break your vow
Your mother will not blame you
Hung Min, now Yuen is found
You have nothing to worry about now
Of course
We mother and daughter have wandered all these years
We only have each other
If Yuen had not been found You would have had to answer for it
Yuen is my daughter too I should be responsible
So you still have your conscience
Brother Shun, when will you come back to live with us?
Tsun Hung Min, how audacious of you
Don't you forget this is the residence of Prince of Southern Garrison
To Pak Fung, what do you mean?
You have appropriated Brother Tuen for nearly 20 years
You still are not contented?
Dream on
Don't forget I am his proper wife
Who are you to bargain with me?
Brother Shun, you heard it? She insulted me
You should do me justice
Come! See our guest off
Fung, come on
You are making it difficult for me
It is not difficult at all
Just leave this immoral woman alone
Then everything will be fine
All right, I am leaving
Brother Shun, if you don't go with me
Don't bother to see me again
Hung Min
Brother Tuen, this sachet is Aunt Chung's
Now back to you
Yuen, don't bother to talk with such a man
Now go with me
Go
Just go
Hung Min, you...
Hung Min
Brother Tuen, you want them to stay?
Yue, don't be so upset
There are so many women in the world Yet you had to...
It was your dad's fault
Your Highness, His Majesty has urgent matter to discuss with you
You are asked to go to court now
Royal Brother, you summoned me here
What is the urgent matter?
Actually it has been in my mind for a long time
But the country had not been truly prosperous
So I had not put it into action
What is it? Royal Brother please be more specific
I mean to pass the throne to you
Royal Brother, why do you have this in mind
I am not worthy
Moreover, you are still in your prime
Why you suddenly have this idea of abdication?
The throne belonged to Prince Yin Hing
Back then he was nowhere to be found
And the country needed a ruler
So the late Emperor Ming ascended the throne instead
Then the throne was passed to me
Now that Prince Yin Hing is back
The throne should be returned to him
But he is now the First of the Four Cardinal Evils
How can the throne be passed to such a man?
So after thorough consideration
I find you the most suitable man for it
But I am not worthy
Brother Shun, you are known to be well versed in literature and military affairs
You are loved by the court and the people
You are the perfect man for the throne
But...
I have made up my mind There is no use declining
- Palace attendant - Yes
Give my order
Prince of Southern Garrison is appointed the heir to the throne
Brother Wing, have you heard?
His Majesty decreed yesterday
The salt tax will be waived What good news!
- Really? - Yes
Good news... His Majesty has decreed
The salt tax will be abolished
I know, how can I not know such big news
His Majesty really has the people in his concern
And more, it is said
His Majesty will pass the throne to Prince of Southern Garrison
It is the custom of the Dali court
After a period of reign
The emperor will become a monk in Celestial Dragon Temple
Prince of Southern Garrison has done much for the country
He is the natural brother of His Majesty
- Right - You say...
- Waiter - Coming
Sir, what can I get for you?
5 catties of wine, 2 catties of beef
Yes, coming right away
- Waiter - Anything else, sir?
You know the way to the residence of Prince of Southern Garrison?
Sir... you want to go to there?
Right
Come in
Dad, greeting
I come to congratulate you You are now the heir to the throne
You will rule the country and take care of the wellbeing of the people
Thank you
Dad, this sachet
Mrs Chung asked me to give it to you
Po Po
When did she give it to you?
It was quite some time ago
But Sister Ching took it
She just gave it back to me
1 a.m., the fifth of the 12th Month Year Yiwei
It is the hour, date and year of birth of Miss Chung?
I have waited long and my hope gone
But my child had to have a father
16 years ago, I waited and prayed for you return
I had no choice but to marry Chung in the fifth month of the year Yiwei
Po Po, it was hard on you
Dad, what's inside the sachet?
What are you father and son talking about?
The Chungs have sent over their daughter's date and year of birth?
Fung, you can't read it, give it back to me
What are you doing here?
I come to look for a man
Who is it?
Golden Abacus Tsui Pak Chun
You've come to the wrong place
This is the residence of Prince of Southern Garrison
No golden or silver abacus, just go
It is not possible
My uncle-in-arms works in the residence of Prince of Southern Garrison
This brother, I don't think I've come to the wrong place
Please announce it for me
What a pest!
I told you no such man as Tsui Pak Chun Just go
I told you no such person, now just go
All right, I want to see your prince
How absurd! You want to see His Highness? Don't want to live?
This hero, you come to the palace at this hour
What is it for?
I am Soul Chasing Whip Go Yin Chi of Crouching Ox School
I come to see His Highness on an urgent matter
Please announce for me
This hero, please come with me and wait in the hall
I will inform His Highness
Thank you
Go Yin Chi of Henan at Your Highness' service
Knight-errant Go, welcome to Dali
Please forgive my failure to meet you in person
Your Highness, I am just a nobody
It is above me to ask for an audience
We are men of the martial world Please don't stand on ceremony
Oh yes, Your Highness
My uncle-in-arms has taken shelter here for quite some time
Could you ask him out to meet me?
Your Uncle-in-arms is...
He is Golden Abacus Tsui Pak Chun
I think he has been working here under a different name
Your Highness might not have aware of it
Your Highness please forgive him
- Come - Yes
Go to Mr Fok the accountant
Tell him that Soul Chasing Whip Knight-errant Go is here
He has news to inform Golden Abacus Elder Tsui
He is asked to meet him in the hall
Yes
Thank you, Your Highness
Please don't mention it
Brother Go, have some tea
Thank you, Your Highness
Mr Fok, His Highness wants to see you
Please go to the hall
This brother, may I ask
Why His Highness wants to see me at this hour?
His Highness said Henan Soul Chasing Whip Knight-errant Go is here
He has news to inform Golden Abacus Elder Tsui
Please tell His Highness I will be there right away
Yes
Some disguise
Your Highness, greeting
My admiration
Uncle-in-arms
Nephew Go, how come you are dressed like this?
Uncle-in-arms, Shifu has passed away
He was killed
Who did it?
I haven't found out yet
But it seems
It was done by Moyung family of Gusu
Gusu Moyung family?
The loss of my shifu is like the loss of my father
I have to avenge his death even if it means my own death
Uncle-in-arms, let us go now
I will tell you the details on the way
All right, you wait just a moment
Your Highness, back then my enemies were biting at my heels
I had no way to turn and so came to work here in disguise
I have managed to live till now
Your Highness, please forgive me
Elder, please get up first
Thank you, Your Highness
Your Highness, you knew I know martial arts
But you didn't expose me in public My gratitude
That day Ngok the Third barged in here
Your Highness asked me to impose as the prince's teacher
I meant to fight him with all my worth
But Prince turned out to be a martial arts adept
My congratulations
Elder, you are too kind
- Oh yes, Brother Go - Your Highness
How did your shifu die?
Since Your Highness show us great concern
You tell him the truth
Your Highness
I split up with my shifu in Zhengzhou
He went pass Guanyin Mount by himself
But who would have known...
My brother-in-arms Or Pak Sui was known with his whip skill
But he was killed with a whip, what a shame
But who in the martial world is such a whip adept?
That even Elder Or would lose to him?
Amitabha
Reverend Yellow Brow, welcome
Please forgive me that I failed to meet you in person
Your Highness, please don't stand on ceremony
Reverend, you saved Tuen Yue a couple of days ago
I have yet to thank you in person
Oh yes, Reverend, you come here in this hour
Let me introduce to you these two esteemed monks from Shaolin
Your Highness
Reverends, my honour to meet you What is the purpose of your visit?
We are here on the order of our abbot
We come to deliver this letter to you
Your Highness, please
It is said that Reverend Profound Mercy is coming with you
But where is he now?
Our shifu has passed away
Reverend Profound Mercy has passed away?
What a great loss to the Buddhist sector
And a great loss to the martial world too
Oh yes, how did Reverend Profound Mercy pass away?
Your Highness, it was like this
When knowing that the Four Great Evils
are coming to Dali to take on Your Highness
Our abbot bade us five to come down south to inform Your Highness
And to put ourselves at the service of Your Highness
His Excellency is too kind
My thanks to him
On the 28th of last month
We got to Luzhou of Dali
And stayed in the Ablution Temple
But the following morning
Shifu was found murdered
What was the projectile that killed Reverend?
He was not killed by projectile
When we saw him the following morning
Shifu...
Reverend Profound Mercy died for the Tuen family
I will not leave it just like that
Your Highness, thank you for your concern
Reverends, you sure Reverend Profound Mercy was killed by Veda Pole?
Yes, according to the Abbot Penta of Ablution Temple
The killer must be connected to Moyung of Gusu
Reverend Profound Mercy
His Veda Pole was unsurpassed in the martial world
Those die under it, the rib bones would be in pieces
Who would have thought...
Reverend, what do you think?
I too agree with Abbot Penta
Moyung of Gusu is the greatest suspect
Your Highness, Moyung of Gusu has one incomparable skill
Thy Way On Thyself
Your Highness, have you heard of it?
That means, Reverend Profound Mercy And elder Or
They were killed by Moyung of Gusu
Right, Thy Way On Thyself
The Moyung family aside
No one else in the martial world can do it
I too have heard of a most remarkable man in the central region
The Three Loks of Hebei were known for their Flying Hammer
But they were killed with Flying Hammer
And Taoist Cheung of Shandong was a cruel man
He would cut the limbs off his enemies before killing them
But in the end
He was killed in the same way
I had a personal experience
Let me tell you for reference
Reverend, please
About 40 years ago I was young and impetuous
I challenged adepts of different schools and I had not had a defeat
But one day I lost to a man
Who was he?
He... he was just a young man of 15 or 16
Reverend Yellow Brow
You lost to a teenager?
The martial arts of Moyung of Gusu really is that profound?
Yes, I was almost killed
He beat me with Adamantine Finger
Gentlemen, Reverend Yellow Brow is universally revered
He was willing to reveal his past
I really feel ashamed
I too should tell you the embarrassment I have hid for more than 10 years
For your reference
About 18 years ago
There was a local oppressor in Nanyangfu by the name of Choi
I couldn't stand his act
One night, I went to his house and killed his household of 30
When I went to the study
A middle-aged man stopped me
And beat me in just a few moves
I was young and wouldn't admit defeat
I charged at him again
But he took an abacus from the desk
Took out several beads and with a flip of his finger
The beads hit me in the neck
They are still there
How awesome
Since this incident
I fled to other places incognito
have taken my refuge in Your Highness's residence in Dali
Gentlemen, we have to look into the Moyung of Gusu
Fung
Why you left without me?
Let me go with you
As you said, we share melon seeds We take the saber together
Disciple, why are you here again?
I have come up with a way to take you as my disciple
So you have changed your mind You don't want to be my disciple
You want to be a turtle egg
Says who?
You first throw me out of the school
Then you kowtow to me eight times
And call me shifu
Then I am not a turtle egg
What if I won't?
You want to live or you want to die?
In South Sea School
Disciple can kill shifu?
Of course not
Then... disciple has to listen to shifu's words
Or shifu has to listen to disciple's words?
Of course disciple has to listen to shifu's words
You are my disciple, you have to obey me
Now I am your disciple or you are my disciple?
Listen, your shifu that's me order you
To go to Myriad Calamity Valley to rescue your auntie-in-arms
Who is my auntie-in-arms?
Chung Ling
We have sworn to be blood brother and sister
What's wrong with you? She is now your sworn sister?
Now I have an auntie-in-arms
- Oh no - What is it?
When I set out
Wan Chung Hok said he wanted to abduct Chung Ling as his wife
Chung Ling is my auntie-in-arms
If Wan Chung Hok becomes her husband
Then he is my elder, no way...
Wan Chung Hok wants to get Chung Ling as his wife?
Yes
Then go to rescue your auntie-in-arms
What about you becoming my disciple?
Don't bother with it Take me to Myriad Calamity Valley
Then...
Brother Shun, why you have to be a prince?
If you were a commoner
We could live together
Po Po
I am not dreaming?
No, you are not
Why you still come to me?
Po Po, Yue has given your sachet to me
All these years, I have failed you
Po Po, I want to see Ling
All the more I want to see you
Po... open the door

I... Po, please don't be angry

Po, don't be angry, forgive me
I... I deserve to be beaten up
I am sorry, please forgive me

What is the meaning of staying alive?
Death is better for me

Please don't

Man Shau, please
What nerve! Let me kill him
Man Shau, don't! Man Shau...
Miss Chung, poisonous snakes are no fun
Why don't you have fun with me instead?
Man Shau... you said you wouldn't suspect me again
Now what are you doing here?
You let go of me, let me kill him
I say no one here, you go up with me
Mom
Dad

That man comes to bully me again
- Auntie-in-arms is inside... - Don't run
