Episode 32 The Grand Assembly

Sir, this way

Enforce Justice on Behalf of Heaven

Juyi Hall

After you, brother

Here

Brother, please hear me

I have got Mr. Lu here joining our cause

His presence here on Mount Liang will add to our fame

We will thrive and flourish

Our cause will be remembered in history

Please rise, brother

Brother, you honor me beyond my merit

Today, in front of all brothers

I have but one request to make

Please grant it

Do tell me

Anything within my power

and I won't stop trying until I die

Please be our chief here on Mount Liang

Why would Song Jiang ask him to be the chief?

Who is this Mr. Lu

that Song Jiang values so much?

Brother Chao Gai's words no longer matter?

Right

I'm willing to follow you here

and enforce justice for Heaven with the other leaders

But

about the position of chief…

All brothers of Mount Liang are here

Please take the position

I think

it belongs to you and no one else

Well…

Brother, you're too coy

keeping changing your mind

It's not like it's a throne made of gold

You guys just keep pushing it around

Maybe I should smash it someday

This position is left by Brother Chao

-It should be taken seriously -Yeah

Li Kui, shut your mouth

If you insist on me taking it

I'm afraid I won't fit in here

Brother, Heavenly King Chao said himself

whoever catches the enemy Shi Wengong

shall be chief of the fort

Brother, you also promised

to avenge the Brother Chao within 100 days after his funeral

Yet now when his soul is still not rested

and the promise is not fulfilled

Yet you are giving away the position once again

We all feel so disappointed

That's right

If we wouldn't revenge him

but rather put on a show here

we might as well disband

Yeah, why not disband

Brother Liu said it

We might as well disband

Brother, it's time now

What are we doing here?

Let's just leave

Just smash the chair

No one shall take it

All this act…

So annoying, not avenging Brother Chao Gai's death…

Heavenly King Chao's soul watches

As we all know

Brother Chao broke an arrow as a promise

that whoever catches Shi Wengong

shall be chief of the fort

I shall never go against his dying wish

The broken arrow is here

Mr. Lu and I shall both keep a half

We'll split and attack Zengtou City together

The one who catches Shi Wengong shall be chief of the fort

No more dispute on this matter

If Song Jiang is an Emperor

and we

all live in the palace, that would be something else

A shitty position of fort chief

is not worth such a hassle

How irritating!

Keep pissing me off

and I'll leave by myself

and get Shi Wengong's head

to save all the hassle

Master

it's getting late

Please wash and rest

Master, you've come to Mount Liang

and Chief Song treats you

with such honor and all those banquets

so leave the past behind

I never thought

the reputation of generations of my family

would be ruined by me

Master

Chief Song promised to wait for the Court's amnesty

If you catch Shi Wengong

you shall be chief on Mount Liang

and you'll be known by the world

With an amnesty you'll be a high official

Isn't that great for everyone?

Sir, how are you?

Brother Song

Brother

I'm here to apologize to you

What to apologize for?

I forced you to be here on Mount Liang

Where is this coming from?

Here, please sit

I came here voluntarily

to join the cause with the brothers

I ruined your life of integrity and honor

Brother

you've figured out what's on my mind

Not figuring out

I have the same thing on my mind

Everyone was forced to be here on Mount Liang

That's why we only kill corrupt officials and bullies

never the common folks

We all have a loyal and righteous heart

just no means to serve the country

With your reputation

Mount Liang shall see its name well-spread

I believe one day the Court shall offer an amnesty and enlistment

Then, the brothers can use their talents

to serve the country

And you shall redeem your honor and integrity

Brother, your words are so true

I have no regret whatsoever

Now we both have half of the arrow

I look forward to your great victory in Zengtou City

Here, sir

Sir, is this enough?

Anything else you'd like?

Sir, sir

you haven't paid yet

Ugh…

Sir

Jiao Ting, the Faceless

Who the hell are you?

How dare you

eating without paying

I never pay for food

So what?

Don't you know who's the owner here?

I'll tell you and scare the shit out of you

Piss off!

This place is owned by Brother Song Jiang of Mount Liang

Leave your money and I'll let you go

Or I'll take you to Mount Liang

Which rat are you, tricking me?

What's your name, man?

I have no name. Just fight me

Get up

Get up

Come again

I've got urgent business today. No more fight

I'll come back another day

Stop

Just say your name and where you are from

the food you had is free of charge

I lost to you today

I won't tell you anything

Stop

Tell me

or you can't go

Alright, I'll tell you

I'm the Black Whirlwind of Mount Liang

Don't lie to me

Then ask this

Brother Li Kui, please accept Jiao Ting's respect

Who are you?

I'm only good at wrestling, nicknamed the Faceless

I've long wanted to join the guys on Mount Liang

Lucky I run into you today

Forgive me for my offense

You've got good moves

My hip is so hurt

To join us on Mount Liang

you only need my recommendation

Where are you going now, brother?

That's a long story

Wait till I get to Zengtou City

and take Shi Wengong's head

If you don't mind

I'd like to go with you

Sure, I also need company

as it got so boring on the road

Okay, let's go together

Brother

Brother

Brother Song told me to take you back

I won't follow his words

I will take Shi Wengong's head this time

Let's go

Brother, take care

I'll take my men this way

Please take care

Wish you success

Success it will be

Shi Wengong, hear me

I the Black Whirlwind am here

to take your head

He's the guy from Mount Liang, called Li Kui the Black Whirlwind

If you have balls, come and meet me here

You go and take him in here

Yes

You are a coward

and need me to break in there

to find you?

Rebels, stop there

Take this

Oh no

Don't panic, Iron Ox. Hua Rong is here

Hurry, take him back

Hurry

Stop there and leave your head

Brother, brother

I vow to kill Song Jiang

unless I die

Where is brother Li Kui?

Iron Ox

Brother Song Jiang

I'm here

I'm alright

I, Jiao Ting, greet you, Chief Song

Please rise

Thank you for saving my brother

Brother, he's a brave guy

called Jiao Ting, the Faceless

He's got great skills, especially in wrestling

You left alone against the order

And we had to travel day and night here

almost failing our mission

Do you realize your blunder?

Brother

Li Kui did all this for you

If Shi Wengong's head

had been taken by others

your position as chief of the fort…

Shut up!

He disobeyed order

and must be executed

Take him away for execution

Well…

Brother, you're really beheading me?

Please calm down, brother

Li Kui has nothing but loyalty in his heart

Orders are orders

You mean it?

Li Kui

not that I'm heartless

but keeping you stirring things around

would undermine our cause

Brother Song Jiang, please don't

Calm down, brother

Li Kui, tell him you made a mistake now

Hurry

Don't say anything, Counselor

Li Kui's life

is dedicated to brother Song Jiang

He can have it whenever he wants

If he doesn't care

why would I?

With enemies out there, why are we fighting each other?

Brother

just spare Li Kui this time

Just take my head and be true to your own words

Brother, let's go now

Let's go

I shall avenge my brother

Qin Ming

you take the lead

Yes, sir

Zeng Suo, come back

I shall take the rebel

You stop there

He's good with his spear

Hurry and help Qin Ming

Yes

Let me fight him

Coach Lin, kill him

Stop there, rebel

Stop

I will avenge my big brother's death

Don’t let Shi Wengong get away

Don't go

Leave your head here

Heaven isn't fair

taking away my two sons

They were too young to die now

Had I known this would happen

I would have never messed with those rebels

Lord Zeng

Lord Zeng, my condolence to you

I will avenge your two sons' death

Dad, I'll go kill Song Jiang now

I'll have my revenge

-I'll take Song Jiang's head -Wait

Young general, don't do anything reckless

There are many wise and brave men in Song Jiang's army

They come here prepared

We shall close our gates from today

When they grow impatient

they will attack from the south and the north together

Then, we just go get them in the traps

It'll be a sure thing

Dad

Dad

I think we should write to them for truce

to spare Zengtou City from any peril

The head of Zengtou City

kneels before Song Jiang

My sons, being ignorant, offended you

and sinned terribly for shooting at you stealthily

There is no excuse for them

But none of this was my intention

I now send my envoy for peace

I will return your horse

along with gifts to compensate your army, for our peace

Please calm down, Chief Song

How can I stop after my brother's death?

Mr. Zeng only wants peace

Any demand from you, please just tell me

and I shall let him know

Tell your master

Unless he ties up Shi Wengong and sends him to me

Yes

General

General, you've contributed so much to Zengtou City

which I have kept on my mind

Now Mount Liang is attacking Zengtou City

to take your life

I've lost my two sons

but still they won't stop until they have you

I will give you gold and silk

and I implore you to give up this Jade Lion Horse

and leave here

Your leaving

will spare Zengtou City a devastating disaster

Your grace and kindness

shall never be forgotten by us

To preserve your family

you would even cut down my head and give it to Song Jiang

You just don't have the gut

Please don't misunderstand me

I only want to preserve Zengtou City

I have no choice

Without me, Shi Wengong

this city would have been razed to the ground by Chao Gai

With this watertight siege around here

how would I leave?

Sewing kits and combs

North Gate

Sewing kits and wood combs

Sir

how could we catch Shi Wengong

if we just sit here?

I think

let's just charge in

Yan Qing, don't be silly

Brother Song Jiang gave me this half arrow

and asked us to wait here

as part of his plan

We need to stick to it

Raze Zengtou City and take Shi Wengong alive

Take Shi Wengong

Take Shi Wengong alive

Shi Wengong, die now

Don't let him escape

Take Shi Wengong alive

The rebels of Mount Liang are here

Take Shi Wengong alive

Fall back now

Attack

Attack

Don't come over. There're pits underneath

Fall back

Attack

Don't come forward

Brother

Attack

Retreat now

Attack

Where do you think you are going?

Stop him. Take Shi Wengong

Take Shi Wengong

Shi Wengong

surrender now

Dismount and surrender

Watch out

After him

Don't you leave, Shi Wengong

You've brought trouble to Zengtou City

We've never treated your wrong

Now that the enemy is here, don't you flee away

You want to give me to Mount Liang?

I want you to fight it out with the rebels of Mount Liang

and to share our woe

Brat, move away

Over my dead body, general

Move away

Bastard

Stop

Rat

Dismount and surrender

Who are you?

The Jade Kylin of Hebei

Our paths never crossed

Why are you stopping me?

The enemy of Mount Liang is my enemy

Watch out!

Indeed despicable

No wonder my brother wants to take you

Tie him up

Let me go. Let me go

Brother, don't worry

I've got him

Here you are, the arrow and the enemy

Heavenly King Chao's soul can rest now

Chief Song, if you spare my life

I will humbly serve Mount Liang

and never run from any infernal tasks

You think here on Mount Liang

we accept and shelter scums

Open your eyes

everyone of Mount Liang

is loyal and righteous

Keeping you here would tarnish our good name

Take him

I will use his head to honor Heavenly King Chao

Chief, Chief, Chief Song

Song

Brother

Brother

I'm here to apologize to you

Iron Ox, what's going on?

I'm so useless

I have failed you

Calm down and tell me

what happened?

I left alone

trying to take Shi Wengong's head for you

so that you can be chief of the fort

Little did I expect

it would be taken by someone else

Haven't I

failed you, brother?

I thank your devotion

As long as all our brothers are well

it doesn't matter who's the chief

Brother

you might as well scold me

or beat me

and I would feel much better then

Stop it, Iron Ox

It's not your fault at all

Why is it not, brother?

I wanted to give you a hand

in times of need

But I…

Brother

It's alright

I appreciate your good intention

You go back and recuperate now

Brother, you might say this

but actually resent me in your heart

Brother, your soul up there

please accept our homage

Today

we have avenged you

With the enemy's head

we honor your spirit

Now you may rest

on the other side of the world

Cave of Heavenly King Chao Gai

Brother, after you've gone

I've been missing you day and night

Please forgive my incompetence

to put you here for now

I, Song Jiang, swear to Heaven

that one day

I will relocate your memorial tablet to the Capital

for later generations to worship

and for history to remember

Adhering to Heavenly King Chao's dying wish

anyone who catches Shi Wengong

shall be chief of the fort

Mr. Lu took him alive

and should take the position

Mr. Lu

please

Hold on

I am inadequate in virtue and talent

and can't take such a privileged position

Brother, please do take it

Everyone

up till now, we

have 108 heroes here on Mount Liang

Today we shall rank ourselves here in Juyi Hall

by our merits, not by our sequence of joining

Since Song Jiang came here to enforce justice for Heaven

he recruited heroes all over the country

breached the Zhu Family Village

Daming Prefecture, Gaotangzhou and Zengtou City

Song Jiang, the Timely Rain, is known by everyone

All heroes came for him

making Mount Liang so famous

The chief of the fort

should belong to brother Song Jiang

That's right

Take it, brother

It belongs to brother Song Jiang

When it comes to appearance

I'm dark and short

not as burly and handsome as Mr. Lu

As for family background, he was born in a family of wealth

and has a heroic reputation

while I was an insignificant clerk on the run

Plus

I have no wisdom to govern nor persuasive martial skills

No strength in fight and no contribution in battle

But, Mr. Lu is both skilled in fight and knowledgeable

With such virtues and talents, he should be chief of the fort

After we get enlisted by the Court

he shall have great accomplishments and promotions

while the rest of us could also benefit from it

Brother

please say no more

I can't do as you say

Brother Song Jiang

you be the leader, followed by Mr. Lu, and we shall all consent

If you keep pushing it away

all the brothers would be so disappointed

Brother, if you keep declining

I would rather take my own life

Brother, your soul above, please don't blame my disobedience

With all that has been said

I shall do as you expect…

Brother, we shall follow your command

Enforce Justice on Behalf of Heaven

Juyi Hall (Hall of Gathering Heroes)

Zhongyi Hall (Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness)

Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness

Now we have

108 brothers here

including 36 heavenly spirits

and 72 earthly fiends

all auspicious numbers

Hear my command

Starting from now

the Juyi Hall shall be the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness

We will achieve both loyalty and righteousness afterwards

score great achievements and make our names remembered

Enforce Justice on Behalf of Heaven

In this vast world

Runs the spirit of our nation, long inherited through the ages

By the old imperial walls and on the streets and alleys

Who's telling stories of heroes over and over again?

Riding up hill and down dale

Heroes risk their lives for justice and righteousness

Ups and downs, twists and turns

Striving for the right time, right place and right people

Ups and downs, twists and turns

Striving for the right time, right place and right people

Riding up hill and down dale

Heroes risk their lives for justice and righteousness

Ups and downs, twists and turns

Striving for the right time, right place and right people

Striving for the right time, right place and right people

I just can't let

Next on Water Margin

all brothers on Mount Liang be bandits for life

Who on earth are you?

I'd like to borrow your place

to meet the Emperor

Move away. I need to see Song Jiang

Close the gates. No rebel shall leave
