Chase
Tuen Ching Shun, if you have the guts meet me in Five Mile Pavilion
Your Highness
It is all right, she only asks me to meet her
You really are going?
In martial world custom
If I don't go, I will become a laughing stock
Your Highness, it may be a trap
Whatever, I still have to go
I may find the whereabouts of Yue
You have to be careful
Your Highness, no one here
Probably on her way
Tuen Ching Shun, you are here at last
So it is you
You don't know me anymore?
Your Highness
Yes, Your Highness
Sing
You are now in the mainland
Yet you didn't go to Mirror Lake Lodge to see me
I am tied up
But you have time for this meeting
Really, I have not blamed you for playing this prank on me
And you blame me instead?
How else could I get you here?
But this prince has a lot of state affairs to handle
I am busy day and night
That's why all these years
I couldn't go to Mirror Lake Lodge to see you
But you are free now
You go back with me
I am tied up
Wait till it is done, then I go to see you
What is so urgent? That it can't wait?
My son Tuen Yue is missing
I have to look for him
I see, but you need a break
Stay a few days in the Mirror Lake Lodge
All right
Master Kiu, if you had not saved me
I would have been dead
Miss, I am no longer the master
Don't call me that again
Then I call you Brother Kiu
But you don't call me Miss either
Call me Chu
Sure! Chu, why were you in Shaolin?
We meant to look for Young Master there
But the monk at the gate wouldn't let us in
It is the rule of Shaolin That women are not allowed in
But I wouldn't be turned away so easily
That monk Chi Ching was mean
So I disguised as him and sneaked in out of spite
I see
But I couldn't find our young master after getting in
Then...
I was useless I felt asleep at the middle of it
You are not recovered You are poor in spirit
You have more rest
I am not tied
The moonlight is pretty tonight
You take me over there
All right?
Brother Kiu
You be honest with me
My injury is very serious? Will I die?
No, a rest of a couple of days more And you will get well
You don't have to console me
I know my own injury
I have no strength at all
I feel empty inside
Don't worry, I will have you cured
Brother Kiu, I don't want to die
Don't leave me
I won't, I am a man of loyalty
How will I leave a friend in need?
I am not worthy to be your friend
If I die
Will I become a spirit with no home?
Don't think too much
Brother Kiu, you are a martial world hero
North Kiu Fung, South Moyung
You are on equal status with our young master
What will honour what you have said?
I lied all the time when I was small
But since I roamed the martial world
I have never lied again
Then promise me one thing
What is it?
You keep me company for this night
You are tied, you have some sleep first
I can't sleep
Brother Kiu, may I have another request?
What is it?
When I was small, if I couldn't sleep
My mom would sing to put me to sleep
One or two songs and I would fall asleep
But it is late, where can I get your mother to sing to you?
I don't know where my parents are either
You sing for me
Me? I can't sing
When you were small
Your mother has not sung for you?
She has, but I have forgotten the songs
If you don't want to, it is all right
Not that I don't want to but I really can't sing
Then you tell me a story
All right, but I don't know if it is good
Along long time ago
An elderly man was walking by the hillside
He saw a wolf tied up in a sack
He was kindhearted
And let the wolf out, but...
But the wolf ate him instead, right?
Yes, you have heard it before?
Many times
You don't have other stories?
All right, let me tell you about my native village
It will be new to you
23 years ago, there was a family living in the mountain
They were very poor
The couple had only one son
The child helped his father collecting firewood in the mountain
One day, his father had fallen ill
They didn't have money for medicine
All they had was two taels
They went to the town to get the doctor
But...
Doctor, please, go to see my husband
Doctor, have mercy
You want me to go to the mountain to see a penniless man?
Just for two taels? You just go away
Doctor, please, have mercy
Please, go to see my husband
Please, doctor
What are you doing? I said no and it is no
Mom
Doctor, please, please go to see him
I said no, now get lost
Fung, you all right?
I am all right
Get lost! I said no and that's it! Go!
Fung, let us go back
Fung
- What are you doing? - Nothing
Where did you get this knife?
What knife? Mom
Be a good boy, tell me
Fung, we are poor
We don't have money to buy you toys
But you shouldn't have stolen my two taels to get this knife
Two taels?
Do you know? The money was meant for getting a doctor to see your dad
You know it?
Mom, I have not stolen it
How much is left? You give it to me
Mom, I really have not taken it, Mom
Be a good boy, give it to me
I really haven't
Mom, believe me, I really haven't
Be a good boy
What is it all about?
You are ill, you shouldn't have come out
Go back and have some rest
Dad
Go back
Fung, what happened to your head?
Nothing
Come on, take it easy
Why did you go out for?
Be careful
It was my fault, I lost the two taels
We now don't have money for the doctor Nor medicine
Say no more, the poor are like this
But no matter what
You have to take good care of Fung
I know
Be careful, take it easy
Drop dead...
The kid really killed the doctor?
Yes, after killing him
He sneaked home and no one knew about it
What about his dad? Did he get well?
A Shaolin monk gave him some medicine and he finally got well
So there are good monks in Shaolin
Of course
Shaolin monks are benevolent
They are admirable
That doctor looked down on the poor
He was wicked, but he didn't deserve death
That kid had gone too far
So young and he would stab a man to death
It was hard to believable
Brother Kiu, it was not true, was it?
Of course it was true
If it was true, the kid was too cruel
He acted like a Kitan
I am not a Kitan...
Brother Kiu, I am sorry
I didn't mean it, I really didn't
You are right
Sometimes, what's slipped out of the tongue is the truth
I was already so cruel when small
I really have Kitan blood?
No, that doctor was such a bully
You killed him to avenge the poor
It was understandable
He not just bullied us
Because of him, my mom mistakenly thought I had stolen the money
For the knife
I wouldn't swallow it if I didn't kill him
I hate being wrongfully accused
The beggars said you were a Kitan
I say it was a lie
I am a mere maid and you are so good to me
How can you be a Kitan?
Chu, if I really am a Kitan
Will you still be friends with me?
You used your inner force to revive me
Even if you are a Kitan
I will still be friends with you
Please
Brother Sit, thanks for being the convener of martial world heroes
For this Kiu Fung denunciation convention
Thank you indeed
My pleasure, Master Chong
Kiu Fung that rascal is the common enemy of the martial world
I just do my part, no thanks at all
You are too modest
Brother Sit, you are nicknamed Foe of Hades
With your name
Many heroes will come here
And find a way to tackle that Kiu Fung
Right
But you two are so highly respected in the martial world
I am just riding on your coat tail
You are too modest
Brother Sit, let us not stand on ceremony
Let us talk about that criminal
That killed his mentor and his parents
Good...
After you...
Kiu Fung has committed such hideous acts
We have to do something for the martial world
Cut out your nonsense What are you doing here?
Now go back to your practice
I mean to help you write the invitation cards
I don't need your help
Now go back to your study, go
All right
- Brother Sit, after you - After you
This kid of mine is not bright
He is not good at martial arts or study
I really am worried about him
Brother Sit, please don't laugh at me
How will I?
But he has this sense of chivalry
He will have a bright future
Brother, the invitation cards are done
Then have them delivered
Brother Shum, I come so suddenly I really am sorry
Brother Tuen, please don't stand on ceremony
You come to visit me
I really am honoured
What can I do for you?
I really have a request
I wonder if you can help me find the whereabouts of a person
Who is it?
Let me be frank
My son Tuen Yue is taken away by Turfan monk Kumaji
It is said they are now in Jiangnan
Brother Shum you are well-connected in Jiangnan
So could you help me locate him?
I have heard something about your son
Then...
It is said he was taken to Moyung of Gusu
Then he ran away
Some have seen him in the Beggar Guild Convention in Apricot Wood
Then he is heard no more
That's odd, why was he in the Beggar Guild convention?
That I don't know either
May be he has gone for sightseeing
Brother Tuen, you don't have to worry too much
May be he has gone back to Dali
Master, an invitation card
Heroes' convention in Sage Manor
Gentlemen
It was a poor dinner indeed
Of course not! The dishes were delicious
You are too kind
I concur
Your cooking is getting better and better
Even better than the imperial cook
You are teasing me
Your Highness, now we have eaten
There is still early
We want to look for news of the young prince
Good, if you hear anything Come back to report to me at once
Yes
Your subordinates are understanding
You are even more understanding
You are teasing me You know how much I missed you?
Looking shy, half drunk and the song left unsung
The delicate hand over exquisite silk
You still keep the painting
Brother Tuen, I keep everything you gave to me
Sing
I know you are good to me
But we were apart most of the time
It seems heaven is making fun of me
Don't be silly
Love will not be diminished by time or distance
But the two daughters I bore you
I still don't know their whereabouts
I feel lonely
I too am remorseful
If I could find them one day
I would take very good care of them
I am glad you have this in mind
Now that you are here
I won't let you go again
Brother Tuen, what are you writing?
Nothing, we had not met for so long
We had had enough of longing
Now that we are together again
I want to write it into a poem
Is it done?
Yes
Read it to me
One mountain, two mountains And the clouds in between
The maple leaves of longing
Chrysanthemum blooms, chrysanthemum wilts
The migrating wild geese and the one who is away
A year of emptiness
Brother Tuen, it is so well-written
You like it? Then you keep it
Brother Tuen, you have had a long day You must be tired
Now take a rest
All right, I really am tired
Chu, you all right?
I... it is hard to bear...
Brother Kiu, you used your inner force to revive me
It would deplete your inner force
It is the least desirable for a martial arts practitioner
You have done so much for me How can I repay you?
It is all right, a rest of a couple of hours
My inner force will recover
Don't say anything about repaying
Moreover, Mr Moyung is one of the men I admire
Though we have not met
I consider us to be friends
You belong to his family
I should take care of you
Still, my injury is serious
My strength goes out every couple of hours
You can't take care of me this way forever
I will be a burden to you
Don't worry
I will find you the best doctor to treat you
Brother Kiu
You have some rest first
Let me see if the doctor is here
I will be back very soon
Brother Heung, it must be in our destiny
We are both invited by Healer Sit
And we stay in the same inn
If it is in our destiny, we will meet
Right, Brother Pao
Healer Sit sent out invitations to all martial world heroes
And it is so urgent
What is it for?
It is said to be a denunciation of Kiu Fung
Kiu Fung?
Right, Kiu Fung not only killed his parents
He even killed his mentor
His crimes are unforgivable
Kiu Fung has done such wicked things
He is not human at all
Brother Pao, since bidding you goodbye in Qingzhou in Shangdong
It has been several years
But you look just as good
Thank you
It is said Healer Sit is hosting a heroes' convention
I would like to go with you
Kiu Fung, you dare show your face to martial friends?
You killed your mentor You are not human at all
So you are Kiu Fung
I can tell you are a Kitan
I want to ask Healer Sit for help
Brother Pao, please take me to him
You are worried that you will get involved?
Kiu Fung, the convention is held in Sage Manor
If you have the nerve, you can go
Kiu Fung, I say you should stay away
You are just going to your death
Why don't you go into hiding instead?
Gentlemen, feel free to go See you in Sage Manor
All right, see you
Healer Sit and Misters Yau
Brother Pao, Brother Heung, welcome
Our honour indeed
You are too kind
Healer Sit gives me an invitation
Even if I had fallen ill I would still be carried here
Of course you would
If you were ill
You would want Healer Sit to treat you
Gentlemen, you must be tired from the journey
Please take a rest at the back hall
I have a question to ask
I hope you wouldn't mind
What is it?
Excuse me for being nose
But among the guests Healer Sit and Misters Yau invited
Is Kiu Fung one of them?
Our invitation is unnamed
Whoever holds the card is our guest
Brother Pao, you mention Kiu Fung
You and him are close friends?
I have met him a couple of times only
We are mere acquaintances only
But I have heard
That he is coming to the convention
I tell you the news
So you can get prepared
Brother Pao, how did you know he is coming to our convention?
When we were on our way here
Brother Heung and I stayed in the same inn
And we bumped into Kiu Fung
He said he wanted to see Healer Sit
And he would come here
Kiu Fung is a Kitan, a pest of the mainland
If he hides himself or runs away
We will not be able to get him
If he walks into the trap himself
It is fate
It is said that Kiu Fung is a man of intelligence and bravery
How come he will make this glaring mistake of coming to Sage Manor by himself?
Indeed, Kiu Fung must have something up his sleeves
We have to be on guard
Brother Pao is right
Let us discuss about it
Master Yau
- My honour - Welcome
You call for this Kiu Fung denunciation convention
To get rid of a pest for the martial world You have our support
Right, it is our duty
Thank you
- Master - What is it?
Beggar Guild elders here
Ask them in
Beggar Guild has come in force
It is to give Kiu Fung support?
I don't think so
Kiu Fung has quit the guild
He is no longer their master
I saw them falling out
But he was in the guild for so long
He really has totally broken off from the guild?
But still
Beggar Guild elders are all great heroes
They can tell right from wrong
If they take Kiu Fung's side
It will mean treason
Master is right
Let us wait and see
Brother Sit, and Brothers Yau
You have invited martial heroes here
Is it because of the martial world pest Kiu Fung?
Right, elders
It is the fortune of the martial world That you are here to attend the convention
Elder Tsui, we are going to kill Kiu Fung the traitor
We want your blessing
We don't want any misunderstanding That will undermine our friendship
Kiu Fung has lost his mind It really hurts us
He has done much for the guild
We were ambushed not so long ago
And he came to rescue us
But we should put justice first
We will not take such minor favours to heart
Elder Tsui, you are a just man
You have my admiration
Kiu Fung is the pest of Sung
Though our elders owe him gratitude
We will not forget justice because of personal feelings
Nothing stands in the way of justice
Moreover, he is no longer in our guild
I think it is just Kiu Fung's ploy
He makes us wait for him here
So he can flee
This is a disappearing act
What do you take Kiu Fung for?
Who says he won't honour his worlds?
Don't you smear his name
You stand up for Kiu Fung the traitor
I am the first to take on you
Whether Kiu Fung is a Han or Kitan We are not sure yet
If he is a Kitan
I will be the first to take on him
To kill Kiu Fung, you have to wait in line
All right, you get out here Let me teach you a lesson
Sure!
Please, you both are my guests Why fall out on it?
Elder Ng, don't get upset
We have to put the name of the guild first
Death is too lenient for Kiu Fung
Who blabbers here?
If you have the guts, come out Don't be such a coward
Gentlemen, please calm down Hear my words first
We have a common enemy
We should put the bigger picture first
We shouldn't make it personal
Let us discuss a way to tackle Kiu Fung the traitor
Right...
- Yes... come - Yes
Take the guests to the back for a rest
Yes
Please...
Aren't you taking me to the doctor?
Why is it so far?
We will soon be there Sage Manor is not far away
If we can find Healer Sit You will be cured
Thank you indeed
Chu, don't talk
Have some rest
Kiu Fung is wicked
Why isn't he here yet?
Master
Master... what is going on?
What is it?
Kiu Fung is finally here
So he is here
Amitabha
