[The Mystic Nine]
[Episode 9]
[Zhang Manor]
Xinyue Hotel holds the largest precious gems auction in Beiping.
The background of their owner is very deep.
You also will need an invitation to get in and out of the hotel.
Even the Japanese must show a lot of respect when meeting him.
He's quite a fierce personality.
My men obtained news that
a rich businessman is on his way to Xinyue Hotel.
He must surely have an invitation with him.
Who is that man?
I head his surname is Peng, and he's good in using a whip.
People call him "Peng Sanbian" (three whips).
Peng Sanbian?
I seemed to have heard of him.
He created a sandy soil business in Yinchuan. A man from a wealthy family.
And a lot of his subordinates are fugitives.
I also know that person!
That person is very despicable and has great whipping skills.
In the northwestern region, no one would dare offend him.
To steal an invitation from him
would be a hard feat.
If we forcefully take it, it would destroy any harmonious relationship with him.
Looks like we can only obtain it through a wise plan.
[Mystic Nine]
First, Ba Ye will do his thing
and offer predictions on the train.
Try your best to obtain the attention of Peng Sanbian.
Have him inquire about his fate from you, too.
When you approach him,
you must verify the location of the invitation.
If it's not accurate, I won't accept your money!
Have your fate calculated!
After Ba Ye verifies the location of the invitation,
with Er Ye's great light martial arts skills, he would surely be able to obtain it most easily.
What?
You're going to let Er Ye steal it in broad daylight?
I've ridden the train to Beiping.
At the Wuchang area, we'll be passing by six mountain caves.
The travel through the fifth cave would be the longest.
Although there are a lot of people on the train, with Er Ye's skills,
approaching Peng Sanbian and obtaining an item from him at this time
shouldn't be that difficult.
What if Er Ye fails?
Kill him.
When Er Ye is carrying out his mission, Fo Ye would be his cover.
Once he fails, Fo Ye should kill Peng Sanbian from afar.
Peng Sanbian has been part of Jianghu for so many years.
Ordinary tricks won't be able to fool him.
With Er Ye's skills, he can easily approach him, but may not be able to escape unscathed.
If we use force,
the chance of winning is only 50%; hence, not a smart choice.
Jiu Ye, just quickly suggest a plan to us.
Why are you still beating around the bush?
The train tracks extend in all directions. There would be trains coming from north and south.
The are a lot of chances of them passing by each other.
The Beiping terrain is a complicated one.
There are a lot of rivers, streams, and mountains.
Using the opportunity when the train passes through the mountain caves
to obtain the item is the first condition for our victory.
Our target for this mission is the item; hence, don't be too zealous to continue fighting.
Use the short time when two trains pass by each other
to escape; a cicada shedding its carapace act.
This is the second requirement for our success.
But the most important is still the third condition.
What is it?
That is luck.
Do you know why I arrested you?
In Changsha, isn't Zhang Qishan able to arrest anyone he likes?
What is your relationship with the Japanese?
You better answer me honestly.
Who do you think you are?
Let Zhang Qishan personally interrogate me.
Okay.
I heard that you have good martial arts skills. Let's have a duel
to check them out.
Chen Pi, does your teacher's wife mean nothing to you?!
What do you mean?
The medicine that those Japanese gave you
can't really cure the illness of your teacher's wife.
Chen Pi, if you go up the evil ship of the Japanese, you can never come down.
Let me tell you that this matter
concerns the life of your teacher's wife.
Are you really going to continue hiding things from us?
What can I do?
We've sought so many doctors to cure Teacher's Wife, but none were able to do so.
The medicine of the Japanese could at least delay and lessen her pain.
Doing it was worth it.
Your teacher's wife isn't incurable.
Really?
Does my teacher know that?
Er Ye and Fo Ye are already on the path to getting the medicine.
Er Ye even told me that he knows that you only did this out of filial piety.
But you still have committed a mistake;
hence, you have to stay here for a few days.
Once they're back, I'll let you out.
Okay. Can you tell me now
who gave you the medicine?
I don't know his name,
but I know where he is.
[Changsha Station]
[Beiping - Changsha]
Get in.
Go.
Excuse me, Sir. You seem to be on the wrong seat.
So sorry.
Have you settled your wife in already?
It has been done.
Fellowship and endurance.
Overload and enlightenment.
Who's going to reward the good and evil in the end?
Raise your head and their are deities above.
The eight diagrams of the Ching are the hands of the universe at work.
Forming clouds or rain with the turn of one hand, so much affection.
Hey, say, we've suffered great hardship in accompanying Boss on this trip.
- So right. - Would Boss eventually reward us?
- What should we do? - We should just listen to Boss.
Look.
- Who are you? - I'm a fortune teller.
What fortune teller? You mustn't affect the other guests.
I'm talking about you!
This mister,
I can see purple around the black of your eyes.
There is a tinge of red through your pink ears.
Your complexion looks like wind and earth going down.
You probably have some family problems right now.
Stop with your nonsense!
If what I said is not accurate,
you can throw me down the train now.
- He said it as if it's really true. - Is he for real?
I have a way to cure you family problem.
Oh? Mister, what plan do you have? Please guide me.
Just do as I suggest and nothing bad will happen.
Okay. Okay. Oh, right. Lower down your voice later.
- Thank you. - Remember it.
Fortune telling! Fortune telling!
If it's not accurate, I won't get your money.
Fortune telling! Fortune telling!
- This mister, please take care of my business. - What are you doing?!
Go!
This mister, you have a face of wealth,
a poised figure.
I'm sure that in your travel this time, you are set to get what you want.
But going back to it,
your glabella is slightly darkening. Do you want me to
drive away such an ominous sign?
I have never believed in deities or ghosts.
You think you can swindle food or drink from me?
Dream on!
You want to die?!
What are you all doing? Beat him up!
Don't! Don't! Misters, please have mercy!
I'm just a trying to earn a living here. Mister,
I wasn't able to stand steadily earlier. May you be magnanimous and spare my trifle mistake.
Just let me go.
Looking at how you're such a loser... Leave!
Okay. Thank you, Mister. Thank you, Mister.
Thank you.

It's in the first carriage, second cabin.
There are nine bodyguards with knives. The item is on the chest area of Peng Sanbian.
We'll be passing by the mountain caves soon!
Don't extend your head out of the window!
Those with children with them, take good care of your child.
- My wife must be missing me now. - You can't be sure.
- Where are we now? - What's wrong?
Nothing. Master San is sleeping.
Be careful of pickpockets!
We'll be passing through the mountain caves soon!
[Invitation Letter]
Go!
Master San.
Er Ye, I love your operas so much. Come.
- I'll give you a toast. - No need. Let me do it by myself.
Good wine.
Er Ye, you indeed know to appreciate a good item. But for me,
good and poor wines are the same. Since we bumped into each other today, let's drink to our heart's content.
No need. The travel is long. No need for that trouble.
- Men! Serve all my good wines to Er Ye! - Okay.
Er Ye, don't rush.
Fo Ye, how's the situation?
Master, it's getting late. Madam is asking for you.
Third Master Peng, thank you for graciously entertaining me. Let's meet again if we're fated.
Er Ye,
when men like us drink wine, how could we let women interfere?
Let's just drink our drink.
All of you, stop!
Damn it! Those two rascals tricked me!
Master, what should we do?
They took the invitation,
so they will surely go to Xinyue Hotel.
How did it go? Was it successful?
Seeking success amidst the danger. Our strategy was way better than theirs.
It was too dangerous. It was really too dangerous.
Just for that rotten item, we almost lost our lives!
Didn't Jiu Ye claim that he was the smartest person in the world?
How could he have come up with such a bad idea?!
My god!
This is so scary! How could I jump?!
God, please bless me. Please bless me.
God, please protect me...
I'll go to my death then!
So the third critical condition that Xie Jiu Ye told us
was to risk our life and jump off the train, let our luck dictate our fate?!
What? You didn't calculate your fortune before coming here?
Of course, I did. If not because I predicted that I'll just be traumatized but safe,
I wouldn't have jumped towards another train.
Since that's the case, why didn't you tell us beforehand this prediction of yours?
No way. No way.
If I told you beforehand that this trip would be frightening but safe,
you two would slack off and not give your best in fighting.
This is called, "Heaven's mysteries mustn't be revealed."
Sister-in-Law, aren't I right?
What Mr. Qi said is very reasonable.
Although we got the invitation, we still don't know anything
about Xinyue Hotel. How should we take the next step?
Block off any trouble that comes.
The reason why Xinhue Hotel is unpredictable
is because the people going in there are not ordinary personalities.
But as long as it's a human, he would have an oversight.
Hence, as long as we act cautiously, we'll find their weakness.

[Changsha Chamber of Commerce of the USA]
Who are you people? Unauthorized individuals are not allowed in.
You dare to stop these men of Master Zhang?!
Officers, please look clearly. This is the American Chamber of Commerce. It's under the protection of the US Embassy.
Trespassing our office is trespassing a US territory.
- Please think about it clearly. - American Chamber of Commerce?
Who are you fooling? This is clearly Japanese property.
This was originally owned by the Japanese, but eventually bought by our American boss.
Now, it's the American Chamber of Commerce.
Sorry to have disturbed you.
He's indeed an American.
Since you're here, come out and let's have a drink.
Why did Mister come here?
You treated the wife of Er Ye.
Er Ye especially ordered me to come here and give his thanks.
It's my honor to serve Madam.
Mr. Hendry Cox, are you well-versed in medicines?
- I know a bit. - Okay.
Then, Mr. Cox, do you know
- that morphine can only cure pain, but not the disease? - I know.
Then, don't you know that you're only prolonging the suffering of the patient
and not really curing her?
It was Chen Pi who actively approached me.
It was he who begged for it.
I was just doing what I could do to help.
Moreover, Madam's illness is already hopeless
and incurable.
Since that's the case, why not let her
happily leave this world?
Maybe you Chinese don't approve of this kind of method, but I didn't commit any crime.
Okay.
Then, Mr. Cox, let me ask you one question.
Morphine is a restricted drug.
Other than the army, it can't be found in any place here in Changsha.
May I ask where you got them?
Hello, Lieutenant Zhang, I'm Song Yuming.
- Superior. - You're so bold!
Do you know how big your mistake is for trespassing into the American Chamber of Commerce?!
Where's Zhang Qishan? Does he know about this?
Is he usually this lax to his people?!
No. I especially came here to interrogate Mr. Cox
about the trafficking of morphine.
Scoundrel! I'm the one who gave the medicines to Mr. Cox!
- Are you going to drag me into interrogation, too? - I dare not.
Mr. Cox is a friend of the communist party.
He's the envoy for a good US-China relationship.
The party isn't allowing you to trespass onto the properties of the US embassy.
The more you're not allowed to interrogate Mr. Cox like a criminal!
If the US-China relationship breaks down because of this,
can you bear this responsibility?! Quickly come back here!
Yes.
Mr. Cox, sorry to have disturbed you then.
Since you've come,
at least drink this glass of wine first.
This is a high grade Bordeaux grape wine.
It's really the Japanese.
Quickly put out the fire!
Hurry!
- Sorry, Mr. Cox. - Hurry up!
A fire broke out inside the complex.
It's not your fault, but quickly put out the fire!
Yes! Hurry!
Lieutenant Zhang, how did it go? Did you find any evidence?
They have a backer. Fo Ye said
if we're unable to proceed with our investigation, then wipe them out.
Let's go.
You better immediately go now!
Mr. Hendry Cox, is anything wrong?
How come there's suddenly a fire?
Go and call the fire department to put out the fire.
Mr. Hendry Cox,
how about you settle down in Fo Ye's manor?
Thank you for you kindness, Lieutenant Zhang.
It's better not to trouble you anymore.
Mr. Cox, what are you saying?
I'm doing this for the party.
The more it's for the peaceful relationship between the US and China.
Come and invite Mr. Cox to get in the car.
Yes!
Start the car.
Mr. Cox and Ms. Ryoko Tanaka have never eaten a Chinese meal.
Before eating, let's first have some drinks.
Please.
What are you doing?! Didn't Fo Ye teach you how to treat a guest?
Since you've drunk the wine,
let's now taste some traditional Hunan cuisines.
Serve the dish!
Please.
How does it taste, Mr. Cox?
When you return to the US, it would be hard to have this again.
Lieutenant, you seem to mean something with your words.
No such thing.
You Americans have your way of doing things.
We Chinese also have ours.
You Americans can't get used to eating Chinese cuisines.
We Chinese also can't get used to eating Western dishes.
Are you giving me a warning?
No such thing. How could I dare?
Mr. Cox,
there are some words that lose their meaning if you make them too frank.
You can safely return to your territory today.
But since you've come today,
please just enjoy it well. Hope you can gladly accept our goodwill.
These are Hunan cuisines that I've especially prepared for you two.
Hope you can finish them all.
Come over here.
Watch them finish their meal, then escort them back.
We're just letting them go?
Since they've already shown themselves, they won't be inducing any more big trouble.
Take them back early, so Fo Ye won't be criticized.
- Yes! - Hey.
What about those people?
After verifying, all are Japanese.
I don't want to see them again here in Changsha.
- Go. - Yes.
Okay, already. I'll be escorting you two upto here.
Mr. Cox, you really don't need us to drive you back?
No need.
Please relay my gratitude to Fo Ye for giving us such cordial treatment.
Okay, take care.
All my men have disappeared.
Sir, what should we do now?
What you should do now is to go back
and tell your superior that if he still wants to work with me,
I need some time and you need more people.
Zhang Qishan is currently not in his manor.
Looks like he has left Changsha.
Immediately investigate where he has gone to.
I understand.
The Zhang family...
are indeed interesting.
[Beiping Station]
Miss, eat this one! Eat mine!
This one is very delicious! This one is good! Miss!
I only have one mouth. I can't eat that much!
Miss, the things you need have been prepared.
It's coming! It's coming!
Peng Sanbian, no matter if you're long, square, round, or flat,
as long as you step into Beiping,
even if you have a pass from the Heavenly Emperor,
don't think of stepping into my Xinyue Hotel by a step.
