Juyi Hall

Brother Song Jiang!

Welcome back!

Brother, we wish to drink with you!

This time, you've returned victorious from the campaign

obtained numerous treasures and supplies

and recruited more brothers

Come, brothers

Let's drink three bowls for Song Jiang!

Enforce Justice on Behalf of Heaven

I owe all my accomplishments to you

Our brothers risked their lives to help me

As long as this banner doesn't fall

Mount Liang will prosper!

You're right! Cheers!

Drink!

I've had my share of kills. Now I raise three bowls in your honor

Thanks for killing that Gao Lian

Come, I'll drink a toast to you

You've attacked Gaotang Prefecture for me

This bowl of liquor is for you

All right. Let's drink together!

Reporting!

The chiefs of Mount Erlong and Mount Taohua wish to meet you

That's my brother, Wu Song!

Brother!

My good brother, I miss you

When we heard you went to Mount Liang

we decided to join you

Brother, I want to introduce someone to you

This is the Flowery Monk, Lu Zhishen

I've always wanted to meet you, Song Jiang

This is Sun Erniang

Pleased to meet you

This is Zhang Qing

Brother Song Jiang

And Yang Zhi

Nice to meet you

And Zhou Tong and Li Zhong

Today, more brothers have come to join Mount Liang

This is a blessing!

Come, let's meet our brother, Heavenly King Chao!

Yes, let's go meet Heavenly King Chao!

Nice to meet you, Heavenly King Chao!

I've heard of your heroic deeds

It's an honor to meet all of you today

Come, bring more liquor and food!

-Come -Come -Come -Brother Song Jiang

I've long heard of your tales, Song Jiang

I hear them today and the next day

I'm overwhelmed by them

Now that I've joined Mount Liang

It means that we are bound by fate

It's an honor to drink these three bowls of liquor with you

Let's drink

Come, brothers. Drink!

Brother Li Kui, let's drink

Where's my brother Liu Tang?

Brother, Liu Tang was injured

by the people of Zengtou City on his way back

Brother

Those rogues at Zengtou City are shameless!

They took your gift horse and injured our brother Liu Tang

That's it!

Calm down, brother. They may be shameless

but it's just a small thing. We can endure it

Hurting my brother is like breaking my limbs!

I won't have it!

Brother, they have royal connections

Song Jiang was thinking about the future of Mount Liang

What?

Darling! Hu Sanniang! Your husband, Wang Ying is here

Open the door

Turn it up

Darling, open the door

Darling. Hu Sanniang. Open the door!

Darling!

Open the door! I'm Wang Ying!

Stop!

Why are you here on your wedding day?

It's all because of your sister, Hu Sanniang

She won't let me into the house!

Then, you shouldn't look for me

I'm only a matchmaker

You can only enter when she allows you to

If you can't, then it's all up to you

I can't help you

Song Jiang was the one who did the matchmaking

so why did she reject our Wang Ying?

You're not the one who's getting married. You shouldn't step in

We should help him until the end, right?

How can you, as a brother, ignore him now?

You're his brother as well, why don't you help him?

Okay, I will help

Come, brother Wang Ying. Come

I will help you

Let's go and find her. Go

I will show you how to do it!

Go

Brother…

Brother, you've suffered

Stay strong, brother. It will be fine soon

Rest well, brother

This medicine is passed down in my family for generations

You will get better in less than half a month

Rest well

I misunderstood you

Please don't say that

Look at how happy our brothers are

You had set off

and made a big contribution

and obtained enough food and gold to last us three to five years

But what about three, five, ten years later?

What do you mean?

I don't want our brothers

and their descendants

to be known as bandits

We fought against oppressors and save people

We put our lives on the line and treat each other equally

What more can you ask for?

As legacy, eagles leave their voice and men leave their names

You must not neglect their future

Brother Li. Why are you here?

Since Song Jiang had matched you with Wang Ying

why don't you marry him?

And does this concern you?

It doesn't matter. It's my problem now

It's not that I want to go against my words

I just don't want to marry someone who had lost to me

Who lost to you?

Since you lost to her

why should I help you?

Brother, don't believe what she said

Back at Zhu Family Village

we had fought from the beginning till the end

You saw it. I was letting her win

Otherwise, if I killed her, how could I marry her?

Brother Li, don't believe him

He's only good at talking

All right

I'm going to be the witness today

I want both of you to fight

You have to marry my brother Wang Ying if you lose

I will take him away if he loses

Brother Li, are you sure?

Yes. Now fight

I never go back against my words

All right

Darling, that's fast. Take this!

Shut up! Take this!

Good

Your husband is strong, don't you know?

Good!

Good

Brother Wang Ying

Brother Wang Ying

Brother Chao, are you practicing?

It’s been long. I have to keep myself fit

Brother, why aren't you sleeping?

I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk

Practicing your sword at night…

Is something in your mind?

I want to attack Zengtou City

Have you talked with Song Jiang?

This time, I want to go in person

They are related to the emperor

I will never forgive them for hurting my brother

You should talk to Song Jiang

before you go

Maybe Song Jiang has some better ideas

You shouldn't be reckless

I've made up my mind. Don't stop me

Brother

How did it go?

Heavenly King Chao is determined to go

I can't stop him

It's up to you now

Do you think I can do it?

Enforce Justice on Behalf of Heaven

Juyi Hall

You don't need to rush this

Everyone just came back

We can attack them after a few days

How dare a mere Zengtou City

ignore the wrath of Mount Liang

and humiliate my brothers?

I must attack them now

or I won't have peace

Since you've made up your mind

let me do it instead

You're the chief and mustn’t take actions lightly

Brother, you've made the highest contribution to Mount Liang

This time, it's my turn to go

Please don't worry

I will bring 5000 people and return in a few days

I'm sorry but this is where I will send you off

Please take care and come back as soon as possible

Don't worry. You only need to protect our base camp

I will be right back

I will be waiting for you

I still have a lot to tell you

Please take care

Brothers, thank you for sending me

Go!

Juyi Hall

Brother Song Jiang

Heavenly King Chao was very upset

I fear that he will do something reckless

What have you told him?

I talked to him about the future of our brothers and Mount Liang

But I don't think he understood what I meant

Heavenly King Chao is a straightforward man

He isn't narrow-minded

He knows you meant well

But, will the imperial court ever acknowledge us?

The emperor doesn't know

our brothers in Mount Liang are righteous men

who want to save the country

Brother Song Jiang!

Reporting

The Imperial Court sent Defender-in-chief Su

to bring the Golden Bells

to Xiyue for a ritual

He's now on the Yellow River with countless treasures

I heard that Defender-in-chief Su is close to the emperor

Unlike that despicable Gao Qiu

he is a loyal minister

We can kidnap him

and tell him our story

so he can convey our message to His Majesty

and stop the corrupted officials from interfering

That way, we can all rise to prominence

Who are you?

How dare you stop the Defender-in-chief?

Go away now!

I'm Song Jiang from Mount Liang. I'm here to see you

Bandits from Mount Liang

I hope you can come with us. I have something to tell you

How dare the bandits of Mount Liang meet His Excellency?

If the Defender-in-Chief doesn't want to meet us

I fear my brothers must intrude upon His Excellency

What are you doing?

Su Jing

Who dares to stop me?

We don't dare to stop Your Excellency

We only wish to invite you to land

and talk to you

I have the imperial decree with me

Who are you to make me?

I fear it's not up to you to decide

Stop! Back down!

Don't manhandle him!

Your Excellency, please allow me

I'm Song Jiang. I was a clerk from Yuncheng County

I was forced to flee into the forests

and take shelter at the Marsh of Mount Liang

I beg for your forgiveness

Everyone at Mount Liang is a loyal subject of the emperor

We've only helped the locals enact justice

We hope that Your Excellency can report this to His Majesty

You don't look like bandits who pillage commoners

If you are truly loyal to the country

I will request the emperor

to grant you amnesty

If the emperor is willing

to accept us

I'm willing to dedicate my life to him

We have a small gift

Please accept it

Brother, don't be restless

Zengtou City isn't going anywhere

Why do you need to rush things?

Since we became the bandits of Mount Liang

have you ever regretted it?

Brother…

Why do you ask?

Ever since we gathered at Mount Liang

we've been living freely and happily

But what about the future?

We only care about being happy now

Who cares about the future?

What if you're granted imperial amnesty

and invited to become officials at the capital?

Brother, you're kidding, right?

But what if it happens?

We've gotten used to freedom. Becoming officers…

I've never thought about it

Our brothers are more important than anyone else

I will only follow you!

I will never follow the emperor!

Good

Let's go after this drink. We will go straight to Zengtou City

Shi Wengong

Heavenly King. Look

The person in the middle is their instructor Shi Wengong

The white horse he's riding is called the Night-Shining Jade Lion

They're the Five Tigers of the Zeng Family, led by Zeng Tu

The second is called Zeng Mi, the third is called Zeng Suo

The two at the back are Zeng Kui and Zeng Sheng

You rebellious bandits!

I will hunt you down for your bounties

Heaven has given me this chance!

Look at the cart I've prepared for you

The Zeng family will hunt you down!

I will capture you alive

put you in these carts and send you to the Capital!

Who's with me?

Heavenly King, do not rush

Our people and horses are exhausted

Yet they’ve rested and prepared for our attack

Why don't we set up camp and wait until tomorrow?

Heavenly King, the north and south of this camp is well fortified

We should investigate before attacking

General Lin is right, Heavenly King

Follow me! We will crush them!

Heavenly King! Be careful!

Be careful!

Don't go!

Heavenly King! Brother!

Brother!

Defender-in-Chief Su had gone for a long time

Your efforts are wasted

In the eyes of the Imperial Court

I'm just a clerk from Yuncheng County

a nobody

that they've never heard of

You're right, brother

Though Mount Liang has good men

But they are people who had failed

and surrendered to fate

Those who are famous and in power

would never associate with us

More so the ministers of the Imperial Court

I heard that there's a person called Lu Junyi

He has thousands of acres of arable land and countless treasure

He is famous and very skilled in martial arts

People call him the Jade Kylin of Hebei

Yes

If we bring him to Mount Liang

and make him the first-in-command

we might get the imperial amnesty

Just now, I've told you

the people who came to Mount Liang

are those who had failed and surrendered to fate

Clean and famous people

like Lu Junyi

will not join Mount Liang

What if you meet him personally?

Must it be him?

If you can bring him to Mount Liang

everyone including the emperor

will see Mount Liang in a different light

If that's true, I don't mind going

Where are you going, Counselor?

Hey, that servant boy looks like a criminal

You just looked left and right

and almost exposed yourself

I just wanted to have a look

From today onwards

you are not allowed to talk

You've already stopped me from drinking

I will suffocate if I don't talk

If you talk, you might ruin everything

Then, how should I stop my tongue?

Open your mouth and put this in your mouth

Life and death, fortune and misfortune

Know your future with one tael

Life and death…

Welcome. Please come in

Jade Kylin Lu Junyi

Master Lu, look

Uncle

Congratulations on your thirty-second birthday

Thank you, uncle

Come. Come

Go away!

How dare you?

Do you know whose house is this?

Stop dawdling and get lost

Go away!

Go away! Do you hear me?

What's the commotion?

Shoo!

Master Lu, there's a fortune-teller

who won't leave

Life and death. Fortune and misfortune

Know your future with one tael

Master Lu, see?

A tael just to tell you your fortune

This is crazy! I will chase him away

Go…

Wait

He must be skilled if he requested that much

Li Gu, invite him into the inner chambers

To the inner chambers?

Our master asked you to go in

Don't speak any nonsense

Go away

Your face is radiant. There's something special about you

I will only tell you your fortune if you give me 10 taels

Fine. Give him 10 taels

Please

Thank you

Master Lu

I was born in the year of Jiazi, the month of Yichou

the day of Bingyin, and the time of Dingmao

This is strange

This is strange

I will go now. I will go now

Please keep your taels

I will go now

Stop

I only want to know the bad news

I hope that you can point me in the right direction

Please tell me

Master Lu

You will die in 100 days

You will die under the sword, with nothing left

You must be mistaken

I was born into a rich family in Northern Capital

No male ancestor ever broke the law

no female widow ever remarried

We're careful and humble with our actions

And would never do anything evil

How can I incur a bloody demise?

Forget it

So, everyone likes to listen to praises

and not warnings

I've never met or known you

in my life

Forget it. Forget it

Sir. Please stop

I wish to listen to your teachings

Please tell me

Do you really want me to tell you?

I'm willing to give you 10 more taels

Please tell me

Please

All right

You don't need to hold back

Master Lu, you have always had good luck

But this year, your horoscope conflicts with the fate god

In 100 days, you will be decapitated

This is fate, you can't avoid it

Master Lu, my servant boy looks strange like a beast

He's dumb and deaf

but he has a special ability

When he laughs, he actually cries, a disaster will follow

Master, how can I avoid this disaster?

You can avoid this disaster

if you go a thousand li southeast

This is easy

I'm staying too much at home

If I can avoid this ill fate, I will reward you handsomely

It's fine

I have a poem for you

You can wrote it on the wall

When the day comes, you will know what it meant

All right

Please

Master

Lu (Reed)

Hua (Flower)

Tan (Bay)

So, there's where you are

I was looking for you

I will take my leave

All right. Thank you

You're welcome

Master, the guests have arrived

Let's go

Master, they are waiting for you

Good

Counselor, you're awesome

You made him come to us with a few words

You almost ruined our plans

We don't need to spend so much effort on him

I can just tie him up and take him with us

Righteousness in the end is about life

Fight back and escape to survive

Lu Junyi rebels?

At Tai'an of East Yue

Next on Water Margin

there's a golden temple

that governs the fate of people

It's exactly 500 km southeast

No matter what happens, we must tell Chao Gai properly

What are you doing?

You know what you did. Stop pretending

Who can catch that Shi Wengong…

We must crush Zengtou City

and capture that Shi Wengong alive

before we can bury our brother!

He is sentenced to death and will be executed in a few days

Brother, wait for us

We will avenge you

What…

What am I supposed to confess?

If we can save Master Lu

I'm willing to let him become our leader

Master Lu will be executed at 12.45 p.m. today

Master

Please drink this

before you go

Yan Qing

Brothers of Mount Liang are here!

Master Lu!

That master was right!

He told me I'd be decapitated in 100 days

Don't worry. We only need to shut the city gates

Attack!

Master Lu, please don't blame our Counselor
