Episode 31 Lu Junyi Joins Mount Liang

Alright, I've taken it out

Don't worry, brother

I should have gone instead of you

Now you're injured so seriously

It's too late for me to regret

Brother

It's…

It's a poisonous arrow

I…

I'm afraid I'll die soon

Brother

I'm not afraid of death

But I'm worried…

Brother, don't talk for now

Have the medicine and take a rest

You'll feel better tomorrow

Brother

You've been thinking about allegiance to the Imperial Court, right?

A boat floats in reeds

A great man travels alone at dusk

Integrity cannot get one out of his fate

Serving the right group is the only way out

Madam, why are you crying?

After hearing the fortune-teller's ridiculous words

Mr. Lu only wants to leave home

But he has so much wealth here

Steward Li

please persuade Mr. Lu to stay

Madam

What if I fail in doing so?

At Tai'an of East Yue there's a golden temple

that governs the fate of people

It's exactly 500 km southeast

I can go there to pray for good luck

Meanwhile, I can do some business there

It's also a chance to broaden my horizons

People all say that fortune-tellers' words are ambiguous

Please don't believe his nonsense, Master

Just stay at home. Nothing bad will happen

Master, Mount Liang is on your way to Tai'an

Yan Qing, the Wanderer

It is said that Song Jiang and his gang rob travelers there

Even soldiers can't suppress them

If anything happens to you…

Those robbers are only straws in my eyes

If they come to me

I'll seize the opportunity to show my fighting skills

People all say

life on the road is never better than that at home

How can you believe a fortune-teller's nonsense

and leave your great wealth behind?

That makes me worried and scared

Why do you want to do business in a dangerous place?

Women know nothing about this

I've made my decision

You can't make me change it

Brother!

Song Jiang, my brother

Counselor

We're home now

It seems

you've done it well

Just wait and see

Lu Junyi will walk past Mount Liang in half a month

Then we will get him into the mountain

and you can persuade him to join us

Come on

What if he doesn't want to stay in Mount Liang?

I wrote a poem of rebellion on his wall

Even if he wants to go home, he can't

That's a smart way

but not so proper

Doing it the proper way won't cut it

If he doesn't join us

your ambitious dream won't come true as soon

Brother Song Jiang

But we don't know what Chao Gai thinks of this

Brother Song Jiang

Lord Chao has caught a high fever again

He's calling you, Song Jiang

He has an important task for you

Brother Song Jiang

Don't worry, Counselor

No matter what happens

we must tell Chao Gai properly

Brother, I'm Song Jiang

Brother

The poison on the arrow has gone into his heart and bones

and can't be removed

Lord Chao is hanging onto his life with his determination

Medicine won't work on him now

I'm leaving

But

I don't

want to leave you, brother

I don't want

to leave my brothers in Mount Liang

Since you saved me and accepted me in this group

we've been close brothers

If you have any wish, please tell me

Brother

I want you to do one thing for me

After I die

please bury me here in Mount Liang

I want to stay with my brothers day and night

What?

You won't do it?

Mount Liang is a big place

but it's not big enough to carry your great soul

You're a man of great virtue

You deserve a good reputation

We can't let our descendants see you as an outlaw

Please forgive my rude words

But I'm thinking about our brothers

I want your opinion, brother

If we don't work for the Imperial Court

then what will our brothers end up as?

Alright, let's set off right now

Master, you can't go

Why?

Well…

Don't try to persuade me

Catch Lu Junyi the rebel!

-Catch Lu Junyi! -Stop there!

What are you doing?

You know what you did

Stop pretending

You…

Tie him up and send him to the yamen!

You can't do this!

You can't!

Go

-Master! -Go away!

Master, Master!

You're such an ungrateful scumbag!

Why did you do this?

What the hell…

Madam

What do you want?

You think I'm ungrateful? Look at it

He invited an outlaw to his home

The guy wrote a poem of rebellion

A poem of rebellion?

He even wanted to join those in Mount Liang with his wealth

He doesn't care about you at all

Look, first characters of every line together reads "Lu Junyi rebels"

Madam, Madam

Li Gu, how dare you slander my master?

Guards

Yes

Get him out of here!

-Now! -Go!

Li Gu, you wicked rat! I'll make you pay with blood!

Madam

Madam

You're always our leader

If you have any wish, please let us know

What do you want, brother?

Who can catch that Shi Wengong…

Brother

-Brother! -My brother!

Brother, please don't leave us!

Brother, don't leave us!

-Brother! -My brother!

Here lies Chao Gai, the Heavenly King of Mount Liang

Why did you leave us, brother?

We haven't made the major decision. Our future is a mystery

Brother

we can't change death

Please don't be drowned in grief. You have big things to do

We must have a leader

Chief Chao has gone to heaven

We need a new leader now

Everyone in the world knows your name, brother

Please be our leader

We'll act on your orders

Brother Song Jiang

we want you to lead us

We'll act on your orders

When Lord Chao was dying, by breaking an arrow, he swore

that the one who caught Shi Wengong

would be our new leader

How can you forget it so soon?

I didn't avenge his death

How can I take this position?

Lord Chao did swear by breaking an arrow

But no one has caught Shi Wengong

We can't do without a leader

If you don't work as our leader

none of us dares to do it

for we're all your followers

Please be our leader for now, brother

And we can consolidate later

Counselor Wu is right

Please take the position

Then I'll be a temporary leader

If anyone can catch Shi Wengong

no matter who he is, he'll take my place

It's not that I hate the duty

But Lord Chao gave his words and we can't disobey him

Brother, you're good enough to be the emperor

not to mention the chieftain of Mount Liang

You're talking nonsense again

I'll cut your tongue!

Ignore his stupid words

Please start your work in the new position now

Please start your work in the new position now

Men of Zengtou City

you killed my brother

You're our sworn enemies!

Brothers, here are my orders

We must crush Zengtou City

and capture that Shi Wengong alive

before we can bury our brother!

We'll crush Zengtou City to avenge your death, brother!

Brother Song Jiang

here is the news

Lu Junyi has been arrested in Northern Capital

Why?

He wrote a poem of rebellion

and his steward reported it to officials

He is sentenced to death

and will be executed in a few days

Brother, Mr. Lu is in this predicament because of us

We should save him

You're right, Counselor

It is us who put Mr. Lu in such a fatal situation

Now he's on the verge of death. We can't afford to wait

Dai Zong, Shi Xiu

At your service!

Go to Northern Capital to take a look

Go now, or accidents may happen

Others will go immediately behind you

Yes!

Brother, you always prioritized fraternal solidarity

If you were alive now, you would definitely do the same

Brother, wait for us

We will avenge you when we come back

The Jade Kylin of Hebei, huh

You were so proud of your wealth

and didn't respect me at all

But now you end up like this

It's not my intention to harm you

It was your steward and wife who told on you

Do you know it?

We've got witnesses and evidence

If you don't confess

I'll torture you to death!

What… What am I supposed to confess?

I'm not a cruel man

But even if I let you go today

I'm afraid you can't go home

Your wife and your steward Li Gu

are a couple now

Bah! What a shameless scumbag!

Shut up!

Whether you confess or not, you'll die anyway

Guards

Yes

Flog him

Brother, you're really a decisive, great leader

If we can save Mr. Lu

I'd like to give my position to him

Good men are always unlucky

How did Mr. Lu get labeled as a rebel?

His family told on him. So surprising

His steward is apparently a bad guy

He has drooled over Mrs. Lu for a long time

I'll go for a look

The good man is seen as a rebel

How ridiculous!

It's very terrible, Shi Xiu

Mr. Lu will be executed at 12:45 today

A felon will be executed at 12:45. Keep the road clear!

Please wait, Master

Master. Please drink this

before you go

Yan Qing

Master

Yan Qing is really a loyal guy

unlike the steward

He risked so much for his master. That will comfort Mr. Lu

Master

Master, sir!

It's 12:45 now

What should we do?

Brothers of Mount Liang are here!

Go away if you don't want to die!

Watch yourself, Yan Qing!

Catch those bandits!

Catch them! Hurry up!

Stop there!

Come on!

Go now, brother!

Stay there!

We got them!

Take them away

Greetings, jailer, I'm Li Gu

Cai Qing

What's the matter, Steward Li?

I don't want to hide anything from you

You know exactly what I want

If you can kill him at night

I have 50 taels of gold

for you

As for other officials, I'll deal with them

Can't you see the words on the stone in the main hall?

Heaven knows everything you do

You grabbed his wealth away, and even his wife

You think I don't know it?

Now you only pay me 50 taels of gold

for killing him

If one day the judge asks me about his death

I don't know how to explain

If the money is not enough

I can give you another 50 taels

You're such a tightwad, Steward Li

Mr. Lu is famously wealthy in Northern Capital

A hundred taels is far from enough

If you want to end his life, to be honest

you need to pay me 500 taels

Here is the gold. As long as you do it well

you can take it all

Just leave it to me

You can come to collect his body after the Lantern Festival

Are you sure?

Alright

Thank you, jailer

No problem

Brother, I'm back

Good that you're back

Brother, who's the man leaving here just now?

He's Steward Li from the Lu Manor

He wants us to kill Lu Junyi

I extorted 500 taels of gold from him

It's enough for the rest of our lives

Good job

Such a man doesn't deserve our kindness

But Mr. Lu is really pitiful

-You're back -Honey

Honey, come on

How's it going?

Don't worry. I've paid all officials involved

No one will harm him

Come on

He was always good to me

Honey, you don't have to be so sad

Besides, it's a deal between us

Mr. Lu has been sentenced to death

And I paid some money to save his life

Isn't it…

Isn't it enough?

I…

I did it all for you, honey

If we had come one moment later, Mr. Lu would have died!

Go faster

Forgive me, Mr. Lu. You shall leave now

Please

Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu!

Master Lu!

That master was right!

He told me I'd be decapitated in 100 days

Go now

-Mr. Lu -Mr. Lu

Brother

Who's Jailer Cai?

Cai Fu

What's your name, please?

I'm Chai Jin

a direct descendant of the emperor of the Zhou dynasty

Little Whirlwind is my nickname

Greetings, Nobleman Chai

No need

Next Lantern Festival will be the anniversary of your death

I have 1,000 taels of gold for you

Please don't kill Mr. Lu

A great man never hesitates

If you spare Mr. Lu from death

Heaven will reward you

If you don't, you'll meet your doom

Goodbye

Oh, no!

Hurry up!

Stop here

Stop

What?

Let's go back

You haven't come out for a long time

Please enjoy yourself today

The lantern display is ahead of us

I really want to enjoy myself

But I can't help feeling unnerved

I'm with you, honey. Don't worry

What's wrong?

I saw Yan Qing

You must have made a mistake

Let's go back, shall we?

Alright. Go home

My lord

Song Jiang has arrived at the city gate with legions of bandits

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

We only appreciate lanterns and the moon tonight

Leave the fighting for tomorrow

Liquor, please

Brothers of Mount Liang are here!

Get away if you don't want to die!

Kill our way into the city!

This way

Mr. Lu, Chief Song and Counselor Wu are here to visit you

Originally, Song Jiang hoped I could find a way

to make you join us

We didn't mean any harm

Please forgive us

You…

Master Lu, please don't blame our Counselor

I've been wanting to see you

and have always aspired to be your friend

I hoped you could join us and do great feats together

Unexpectedly, we let you be tortured and suffer

I'm feeling the deepest guilty now

You were inviting me sincerely

but why didn't you tell me earlier?

The world is so unfair

that I'm totally disappointed

Thank you for risking so much to save me

I can never do enough to repay you

You ungrateful thief!

Today I'll kill you for my master!

Yan Qing, your master has died

We're brothers. We can't fight

I can give you half of his wealth

What did you say? He has died?

Only in his dreams

He paid them 500 taels of gold to kill my master

What? You want him to die?

I'll take your life for my master!

Yan Qing, your master didn't die, did he?

No, but so what?

If he joins the gang in Mount Liang, I'll go with him

I'm afraid he hates you now

Yan Qing, tell your master

I can be his maid, or slave

I only want to stay with him

My husband

You wanton slut

I was always good to you

but you flirted with Li Gu

and wanted to kill me for my wealth

Hubby, it was all Li Gu's fault

He forced me to do all this

I hated him, so I killed him myself

I swear to Heaven

you're the only one in my heart

I'll work for you in Mount Liang

and stay with you every day

Master, she's lying!

Please take me with you

I won't kill you

because that will sully my hands

Go away!

Master, don't forgive her!

Hubby

goodbye

Where are you going, scum?

Next on Water Margin

Watch out!

After him!

I hereby present

both man and arrow to you, brother
