Go

Thank you for your help

We are all people of Song

so you need not thank us

I am Ma Qing Ting, this is Jin Liang

This is Xiang Du Bu

We are also unwilling to be slaves of the Tartars

that's why we are seeking men with this common cause

That's great, I am Hao Da Hu

That is my sister Yu Gu

These are our brothers

If you wouldn't mind

I hope you could lead us

Okay

Brother

What's the matter?

Brother, meal time

Alright

Brother Xiang, marvelous archery skills

Brother Jin, your turn

Let's go

Your light technique commands great respect

Your hurricane powers are invincible

could you demonstrate for us?

It's nothing really, if you wouldn't tease me

I'll humbly accept

It's really great

Could you break these arrows?

Unity is strength

Take us three for instance

we have our strengths and weaknesses

and it's difficult to prevail

just with us three

You mean...

Presently the country is dominated by Tartars

the Song people are rebelling against them

As long as we three have the same goal

we could do great things

If you wouldn't mind

let's become blood brothers

live and die amidst blessings and adversities

Great, I had a similar idea, how about you?

I would be honoured

Then let's do it

Let's do it this way

we'll have the ritual the day the fortress is completed

Deal

Good

"Righteousness Hall"

I, Ma Qing Ting

I, Xiang Du Bu

I, Jin Liang

share a common cause and would be brothers

in fortune and in adversity

Cruel death may befall the one to violate the oath!

Why are you in our way?

It's late, why don't you rest?

Our master has died in a foreign land

under the orders of our lady

We need to carry the body back home

Please excuse us for any inconvenience caused

and let us pass

You old fox

did you think you could fool us?

Our Tien Di clan has no quarrel

against your clan

Why do you do such a thing?

Whatever is in the coffin

it's all illgotten gains

Since you are passing our territory

it's only right we have a share of that

Come and get it if you are capable

"Flying Dragon Fortress"

The chief is back...

The chief is back...

Brother, you're back

A bit more late & I'm afraid you'd die of nervousness

Brother

You must have had a hard time

I've ordered a feast for the men

Have a few drinks first

I have things to discuss with you

Men, thank you for your hard work

A toast to you all

Cheers...

Brother, didn't you say you have things

to discuss with me?

Later

Come, let's toast to our three chiefs

Cheers

Come on, let's drink

Remember when we took the vow

it was with the same determination

to expel the Tartars and restore Song

But the Tartars

are well established and the people are suffering

where have our righteous principles gone?

Big Brother, what should we do?

If we could penetrate the Tartars' court

and liaise with other heroes

we should be able to overthrow them

Even if we fail

we would have done our duty

You plan to give up our stronghold?

For a heavenly cause we must march into hell if need be

We have been opposing the regime

they are only too eager to destroy us

how could we sneak into their court?

Princess Shabeilan was kidnapped by Hong Zhang Feng

Prince Shaluweimu has recruited many heroes

Whoever frees the princess

would be hired by the court

regardless of whether he is a Tartar or a Han

This is our chance to score good points

Hong Zhang Feng and you are old friends

aren't you concerned about rumours?

Precisely because we have had a good friendship

that I should reason with him so as not to be rash

Brother, your perspicacity is beyond us

Hong Zhang Feng sent a letter today

because Prince Shaluweimu's notice says

there are many heroes

heading for Fort Feng Lei to save the princess

So Hong Zhang Feng wishes us to provide help

Guess we'll use this opportunity

to ask him to release the princess

and offer allegiance to the Yuen regime

Brother, do you think Hong Zhang Feng

would agree to our recommendation?

If you follow my plan

it can't go wrong

Let's depart tomorrow then

I am deeply indebted to you three

for your help

You are too kind

With your help

we could fight with Prince Shaluweimu's men

and see who is better

We Hans are not easily bullied

I think the reason you've abducted the princess

is because you hate the Tartars oppressing the people

and intend to use this as a revenge

But you are no match

to fight against Prince Shaluweimu

It's like banging your head against a stone wall

In my humble opinion you should send the princess back

and use the opportunity to penetrate the regime

I invited you to help me

if you don't want to do it, it's fine, please leave

I think it's not that easy

Ma Qing Ting

You are a petty ingrate

Attack

Take me to the princess, move

Yes

Fear not

I am here to save you

Let's go

Brothers, I'll escort the princess to the capital

Go and disburse our men at the stronghold

and wait for my good news

Take care

Brother, are we really going to disband?

Where is brother Jin?

Brother, what would we do without the stronghold?

I don't know... oh, what a nuisance!

Brother Jin, please sit

Thanks

Brother Jin, have some tea

Yu Gu, didn't madam Zhang

want you for something?

This is...

We get along with each other

To live in fear

cannot be a longterm way of life

Take this opportunity and take Yu Gu

back to Feng Yang and start a small business

and live peacefully

Here's some money to start you off

How could I accept this?

Consider it a loan

Pay me back when you settle down well

When I have time

I'll visit you at Feng Yang City

Third chief, let's establish another stronghold

No, you should think of Yu Gu

If she spends her life in the stronghold

it'd interfere with her future

We'll have many more days in future to meet

Pack up and take Yu Gu back home

Brother Jin

I made this myself

hope you'll carry it with you always

Take care

Congratulations...

His Majesty has accepted my recommendation

to make you a general

I will never forget your support for my promotion

Arise

The Court has chosen to overlook your past & value your

services. Don't waste this opportunity & do your best

Yes...

But Flying Dragon Fortress robbed the government

many a time and opposed the court

If you could help to destroy them

it would do your career a lot of good

Earlier on I was compelled tojoin them against my will

Now I realise I should be on the right side

and turn over a new leaf

It's a piece of cake to destroy them

I will catch Xiang Du Bu and Jin Liang

who are the leaders of the gang

Great, I leave this with you then

Right on

If brother Ma hadn't written, urging us to hasten

to be on our way, I wouldn't travel in this heat

You long for the letter each day

and hope to start earlier;

Now you complain of the heat

Oh, it's just a casual remark

Did you hear any noise?

Maybe a woman is in mourning, let's go

we still have a long journey

Help...

Stop

You too must be tired of living

to meddle with me

Help

Help

Help me...

Stop crying, get up...

We'll save you for sure

What's your name?

My maiden name is Shum, my husband's name is Huang

My husband has long died

I am headed back home for a funeral

little expecting that I'd run into robbers

They robbed me, and wanted to...

Where's your husband's home? I'll take you there

My husband's parents have died

a butler was living with me

Now he is dead too

and I am all alone

What should I do?

Hero, you must have a home

I could be your servant

I only hope not to bump into bad guys again

I could serve you for the rest of your life

just give me a place to stay

that's all I ask

I...

Please, take me in

I'll work hard

I will not be a problem to you

I didn't mean that, let's do it this way

Come along with us

when we reach the city, we'll make arrangements for you

Thank you

Arise

This is my brother Jin Liang

This is Miss Shum

I am Xiang Du Bu

Can you ride?

Sorry you might have to bear some discomfort

Welcome

looking for lodgings?

Inside please. Hey, serve the guests

Yes

Inside please

Wait

Please

Please follow me

Could you please

help me get some clothes for the lady?

Right, I'll send someone

Sir, inside please

See you later

I'll stay with brother Jin in that room

Thanks

This room, please...

Have you eaten? Sirs

Get us some water first to freshen up

Yes...

Come in

Madam, your clothes

Anything else?

Tell them

to bring food to my room

Yes

They say beautiful women suffer in their lives

Just look at Miss Shum; had she not run into us

what would become of her?

When we reach Feng Yang city, she'll be alone,

that'll be a problem

Come in

Gentlemen

The lady travelling along with you

invites you for a drink

Alright, we'll be right over

Yes...

She's so kind, let's go

I don't feel well, I want to lie down for a while

You go ahead

It's embarrassing just her and me

Let's go together

You can leave at any time

I was afraid you wouldn't come, please sit

You needn't be so kind

You two saved my life

the food is only a small token of my thanks

Here, let me raise you a toast

Hero Jin, why aren't you drinking?

He isn't feeling well

Have some food

So you are going to Feng Yang City?

I have a sworn brother

who has just been made a general

He has sent for us to become officials

You two will have great accomplishments

Come on

Let me toast to you again

Pardon me, I'll retire first; you carry on

My brother is temperamental

please excuse him

Oh, come on! Why would I mind

you are the heroes I admire

You are so understanding

Here, let me propose one more toast

Come on

It's late, I ought to go back

I have yet another favour to ask

As you see, I am all alone

and reaching Feng Yang city means a dead end for me

If you don't take me in

I might as well die

I'd have to discuss this with third brother

This is your own affair, why discuss with someone else?

You must dislike me for I am a widow

I didn't mean that at all

Marriage is a serious matter

We should do it properly

and discuss this when we arrive at Feng Yang City

Do you agree?

As long as you take me in

details are trivial matters

Come, let's toast as a deal

You've already had a lot

No, this engagement toast is a must

Come on

Cheers

Another toast

Oh, I've had enough

I told you not to drink yet you wouldn't listen

I am too happy

Waiters, take this in

There will be a wedding here

take this in and tidy up

Make the place presentable

Yes...

Good morning

Good morning

Congratulations

What do you think of her?

It's good to have a family

Come and drink and have a good time

Come, let me congratulate you too

I wish you many happy years to grow old together

I wish you a son next year, cheers...

A toast to you both

Your 2nd brother is an honest man

and I am a simple woman

Please do care for us hereon

You are too kind

It's on the house

Come, please...

"Feng Yang City"

Brother, that looks like brother Jin

Stop

If it's really him

He'll look for us for sure

"General's residence"

What are you doing?

Please announce

Xiang Du Bu and Jin Liang to see general Ma

Please wait

Tired?

I'm okay

If big brother knew we were here

he'll come and fetch us himself

How grand!

But of course

The general invites you

Please wait

The general

You have arrived at long last

She is my wife, please greet big brother

Big brother

Good

Don't stand on ceremony

Congratulations

Officer Xiao, prepare a feast

to welcome our guests

Yes

Stay in our court

and tell assistant Shek if you need anything

Take them to their room first

Yes

We'll talk later

Thank you, brother

Thank you

Please

Brother Ma is too attentive

Please thank him for us

The general has instructed us

If you need anything

please tell us

It's great

Please thank the general for us

Yes

If there's nothing else, I'll retire

Thank you

I have my own clothes

Please take this back

and on my behalf

thank the general for his kindness

This is from the general

so please accept it

or we might be punished

Alright then

Thank you

Come... a toast

Brother Jin

Are you dissatisfied with the clothes I sent?

Thank you for your thoughtfulness

we are already imposing on you

we don't dare cause you further inconvenience

Oh please, no formalities since we're brothers

You should be punished

for treating brother as an outsider

As a penalty, you have to drink

Okay

Please forgive me for what I said

Forget it, we are brothers. Cheers

Big brother, what arrangements have you planned for us?

Well. Stay here first

and I'll make arrangements for you

Thank you

You're welcome

Were I not new

it would be easy to make recommendations

Now you would have to wait a while

If it's too much trouble

don't force yourself

Brother Jin, what's with you today?

You seem to be beating around the bush

Stay here and be patient

wealth and status will soon follow

Do you agree, sisterinlaw?

Yes, you are right

Du Bu, Yi Xia

I missed your wedding toast

I will now propose one to you both

Thank you

Haven't you brought your wife?

I am not that lucky as Du Bu

You make fun of me

Brother Jin, I am a direct person

so please don't mind me

Speak your mind

Ever since chief has been made a general, not only

has he not been sympathetic to peoples' suffering

they have not dared to utter their grievances

You are his sworn brother

why don't you talk to him?

Really?

We Hans have been bullied by the Tartars

I'll kill them one of these days

to give vent to my anger

Right... hero, the lunch is ready

Look, this girl is getting naughtier

At times I wonder who'd be willing to marry her!

None of your business

Brother Jin, come on

Come

Rest a while, I'll inform big brother

and get a doctor to look at you

Yi Xia, thank you

Where's third brother?

Who knows! He's been missing all day

He's also been behaving quite strangely

Alright, stop talking and sleep

I'll be back in a while

Who is it?

It's me, Yi Xia

Anything wrong? Come in

Sorry to bother you

You're most welcome

Drop in any time

Du Bu is not well

and needs a doctor

I'll get one at once

Take a seat and have some tea

Brother Ma

Why don't you settle down as well?

I am not that lucky as Du Bu

If we're seen

it would be so embarrassing

Don't worry, nobody comes in without my orders

I liked you

at the first sight

Second brother

Well? You didn't come back yesterday

Where are you these days?

How come I haven't seen you?

I was at Da Hu's

Where's sisterinlaw?

She's making medicine for me

I have heard a lot of gossip

about big brother these days

In regard to what?

Big brother's here

You're here too

Big brother

Brother Xiang, feeling better?

I have been busy so couldn't come to see you

Sorry about that

Sorry to have bothered you

Don't mention it, rest well

Well, I didn't see you for a while

What have you been busy with?

Um, just roaming around

I have something to ask you

Hope you wouldn't mind

We're brothers, go ahead

Do you still remember why

you offered allegiance to the Yuen regime?

I have not forgotten my responsibility for a day

Then why are the people

complaining about you?

Third brother

You wouldn't understand

The common folks are obstinate

and short sighted

Why do I increase tax and build the training ground

and make an effort to train the army myself?

Would they understand my good intentions?

Right

How could you believe

hearsay from outside?

However, I am sorry about

recommendations on you both

I know it's been a long time, but

trust me, I've been even more anxious than you

However, one can't be too hasty with the court affairs

and maintain patience all along

Big brother, when we dissolved the stronghold

we wanted the people to have a better life

and not to acquire wealth and status for ourselves...

Brother Jin, I can't believe you saying that

General

An emissary from Prince Shaluweimu has come to see you

Brother Xiang, have some rest. I'll be seeing you

Sure

Third brother, you are always this impatient

I am not very interested in being an official

Let's talk later

What happened?

Nothing

Third brother almost quarrelled with big brother

Brother Jin is indeed acting a bit eccentric

Never mind him, take your medicine

The emperor has decreed

you should destroy the Flying Dragon Fortress in 3 days

and arrest Xiang Du Bu and Jin Liang

I hope you will give priority to your career

and not be softhearted

His Royal Highness hopes

you will close the case soon

Please inform him I will do my best

and not to worry at all

Good, farewell then

Why don't you stay a few more days?

Thank you but I have other errands to run

Farewell then

Please escort our guest out

Yes

Please give my regards to His Royal Highness

Yes

Please

Sir...

our family of five needs this land to survive

If you confiscate it we will starve to death

I beg you

This is the general's order

who dares to oppose it?

Sir, I beg you

I beg of you

Have mercy on us, sir

Tear it down

No, you can't, please

Wait

Master Jin

What's the matter?

General has this land earmarked for military training

others have given up their land

but they have persisted in holding on to it

My lord, our ancestors have been buried here

where could we go?

This is an order and must be obeyed

Wait

Chief Xiao, do me a favour today

and allow them a few more days

I'll bear the responsibility

This...

So?

Alright, you explain to the general

But of course

If in three days we come again

and you're not yet gone

we'll show no mercy. Let's go

Thank you, sir

Arise... no need to thank me

Go and find another place to settle down quickly

Yes

This...

Take it

Thank you...

How dare he meddle with my affairs!

Step down

Yes

He dares oppose me

Little did I expect him to be an officer of Yuen regime

and act as ruthless as the Tartars!

I told you so

and you didn't believe me

Brother Jin

I think you ought to stop siding with Ma Qing Ting's

sweet talk & convince second chief to leave immediately

My brother's like that

never stops talking once he's drunk

What would you know?

Brother Jin, I have kept the silver

you gave me

I must sort out this matter with him

Brother Jin, don't be stubborn

Sooner or later

he'll find out about us

Think he suspects something?

I am worried about that Jin Liang, not him

He seems very sneaky

You can't tell what he's got in his mind

I worry that he...

We are sworn brothers, why worry?

I should return, or he'll suspect us

2nd brother, I did a lot of thinking

Since we have forsaken our old ways

to become lawful citizens

why stay here?

You are always so impatient

Big brother raised this matter with me last night

in fact he has his reasons

In that case

why put him in a difficult position?

We could leave here, change our names

and live in peace, wouldn't that be good?

Even if I were convinced

there's still big brother and your sisterinlaw

How could I answer to them?

2nd brother, if I told you something

could you remain calm?

What is it?

When I returned last night

I saw sisterinlaw sneak out from big brother's room

there was no light in his room

Really?

Now you understand

we should not stay here anymore

Guess you should keep a low profile for the time being

Let's pack up and leave tonight

Don't feel bad

A real man should not have a problem finding a wife

Such a promiscuous woman

is not worth your love

It's decided then

Brother Jin, why are you avoiding me?

I have business to attend to, see you

You bitch, let me ask you

What were you doing in big brother's room

last night?

What do you mean by this?

I was with you last night

That's a lie

Someone saw you in big brother's room

and even the lights were out, you slut

You can't make unfounded attacks upon me

Who saw me?

Ask him out to testify in my presence

It's the third brother

Oh, your precious third brother again!

Why hasn't he told you also

that he accosted me in your absence

For the sake of your brotherhood

I dared not

tell you this

not expecting he'd himself

accuse me first

I don't want to live anymore

What are you doing?

Since not even the rivers would cleanse my name

I'd sooner die right before your eyes

At least I would be exonerated as a ghost

Let me die

In life or as a spirit, I only wish to be your woman

You've unjustly accused me and I don't want to live

Sorry, I was too rash

and blamed you wrongly

I apologise

You only have your third brother in your heart

Has it ever crossed your mind

that Brother Ma is a person of high repute!

Besides, he's also your sworn brother

How could he have done such an immoral deed?

Ever since I became your woman

I have behaved virtuously

But you... you are so gullible

and threaten me

While your third brother accosted me

you dare not sort it out with him

I didn't realise you could be such a person

Second brother

do you believe I am really such kind of a person?

We're finished as of today

You needn't pretend to be my true friend

I know you clearly now

Second brother

Go if you like

Inform Xiang Du Bu and Jin Liang

I'm inviting them to dinner

Yes

Send the order that

without my permission no one can leave here

Yes

Sir, Jin Liang is not in his room

but he left a letter

Let me see

Yes

"To brother Xiang"

When there are evil folks around, it's best to leave

See where you can go!

This matter has dragged on

and caused third brother to misunderstand, I'm sorry

Prince Shaluweimu has sent a letter

inviting you and third brother to the capital

Since third brother has left in anger

you should bring my letter

and see His Royal Highness for further arrangements

Thank you for your recommendation

You're most welcome, it's my duty

Big brother, I have one more favour to ask of you

As long as it's within my power

I'll do my best

If I bring along Yi Xia to report for duty

the journey to the capital might be a tad tough for her

So I wish to leave her with you

and pick her up later

Would that be too much trouble for you?

Not at all

Damn, this bastard Ma Qing Ting

I knew he's a bad character

The way Second chief trusts him so much

he's likely to end up in trouble

I think 2nd brother would be harmed sooner or later

I can't just stand by

Definitely Ma would bear you a grudge leaving like this

Going back now would be like walking into a trap

They wouldn't dare to do anything yet

in the light of second chief's kung fu

Let's wait

until 2nd chief has thought it out

Hide up here these few days

and don't venture out

Sir, tea

How much?

Two cents

Stop

Big brother, how come you're here?

To see you off

Who asked you not to listen to third brother

and now it's too late

You...

General Ma

You truly live up to your reputation

I salute you

We've done ourjob

so where's the silver you promised?

Right, I'll give it to you

Chop off Xiang Du Bu's head

and hang it on the city wall

Alright

Accomplices will be treated the same way

General Ma Qing Ting

Brother...

What did you say?

General Ma has killed second chief

and hung his head on the city gate

Brother Jin, you can't go

They've issued a warrant for you

Brother Jin

you'd rather not act impulsive

Say, if they get hold of you now;

Not only could you not avenge second chief

but you would also be killed

2nd brother, I swear

I'll avenge you

Jin Liang knows Xiang Du Bu is killed

and will surely come

Be on the alert

I have set many traps

and once he comes he'll not get away

We'll wait and let him take the bait

Who is it?

Chase

Yes

Chase

Yes

Split up and follow chase

Yes

Yu Gu, bring me the wine

Yes

Brother Jin, be patient

Come

Yes

Open the door...

Brother, go with Brother Jin quickly

I'll handle it here

Leave me, go, quick

Open the door...

Search

Yes

What are you doing?

Where is Jin Liang hidden up?

There's no one here by that name

No one here, sir

No one?

What's this? Speak

Bring her back

The General

She's tough

and wouldn't talk even though we flog her

Yu Gu?

Wake her

Yes

Where's your brother?

Dead

Tell me where Jin Liang is and...

I guarantee you'll live in riches the rest of your life

Did you think all people are like you?

What insolence!

Bring her down

Let's rest here

Would Yu Gu be in danger?

Stop worrying and rest

I think she'd be able to handle it

Help...

Da Hu

Brother Jin

I think Yu Gu must have suffered a grim fate

Brother Jin, ever since we've met

you have always cared for us

But we never had the chance to repay you

We are even willing to die for you

Don't talk like this

It's payback time for Ma Qing Ting

This blood debt must be repaid

Rest here, I'll investigate in the city

Such a small city

and you couldn't even find two convicts

I order you to bring them back in three days

Yes

Go on quickly

We really haven't hidden any criminal

I beg you

Sir...

Sir... have mercy

Help

Brother Jin, your wounds are still fresh

you should rest

I'll seek my revenge

on Ma tonight

Right

Jin Liang

see where you could run this time

Da Hu, let's go

Brother Jin, go quickly

Go

Search, quick...

Check over there

Chief Xiao

We've searched everywhere

but couldn't find anything

"Tomb of Hao Yu Gu"

"Tomb of Hao Da Hu"

"Tomb of Brother Xiang"

Second brother, Da Hu, Yu Gu

I have perfected the Million Arrows Strike the Heart

may your spirits aid me in my revenge

Sir, I know where this person is

Where?

At... No, I'd rather tell the General face to face

Our inspectorgeneral is not at home

What about general Ma?

He has been promoted to inspectorgeneral

and has gone hunting

"Inspectorgeneral's residence"

When will he be back?

I don't know

Go away

What are you doing?

What's the matter?

Mercy...

Sir, I know where Jin Liang is

Step down

Where?

General Ma, recognise me?
