Who's there?

It's you. It's Yang Qing.

You're right.

How did you know that I was living

here?Of course I knew where the famous Li

Shi Shi lives, whose home is often

visited by our dear Emperor. Don't say

that.

Last time I saw you, you nearly made

trouble. But how did you...

ehHow'd you get in?I climbed in.

There is a wall, but it's only ten feet.

That's nothing. Shishi,

I've come here to ask a favour.

Don't ask yet. It's

like this. I want a favour too.

You grant it, and I'll do anything that

you ask.

Well, ask me, and I'll do what you

want. Well, it's very simple. I

hear that your body's completely

tattooed. All I want is to

see if it's true.

Well... Don't tell me

the greatest playboy in town is getting

all shy. You're Yenching.

So come on.

The Emperor!

Your Royal Highness.

Get up now. Leave us.

You're not at court now. Don't be formal.

I'm your guest here.

Highness, please sit down.

Sit down, beside me.

My lord, won't you have a drink?

Shishi, play something while I

drink. But my playing would surely

bore you. Today, I have something

special. Special?

Good. Good.

Who is he?He plays beautifully.

He's my brother. He arrived back here

today. He's a nice boy.

I'd like to meet him. Ask him to come in.

I must tell you, my brother is a

fugitive, and because of that,

he wouldn't dare meet you. Why then, I'll

pardon him. But would your highness do

that officially, and in writing?Of

course. Ah, thank you, sir!

Please?

Oh, and now then, what's his name?Lin

Ching.

That all right?

Brother, come and thank your highness.

Your servant, sir, long may you reign.

Yenching, you don't look like a

criminal, at least not to me.

But you are a fugitive. And your

music sounded so sad.

So what was your crime?I

mean, you can tell me now. You

have been pardoned. Umm

Well, I'm a commander of the Ling Shan

troop. Ling Shan?Highness. The

Ling Shan men have only one aim, and

that's justice. And that's our motto.

We hit at corruption, at a criminal gang.

We're all loyal men, patriots.

We wish to serve you, to serve our

country.

Our land is in turmoil, and that

rebel Pang La is a threat.

He controls eight of the provinces,

25 counties. The Ling San have many

heroes. All clever men. It's well known.

My advisors say that I should use them.

My lord, if your highness will grant us

an amnesty, we will all fight to the

death for you. Good. I need

patriotic men.

Hey!

Brother... Brother... So...

so.. you...

you Dalianos... about this ambush.

Tell them. If the iron grill is

down, the boom can't be

opened, connected.

Boats can't get through. You tell

them. Go. Hurry.

Fong loves many men. And Hang Chow's a

tough place, hard to take. There's water

on three sides. We

misjudged it. We obviously used the wrong

strategy. And we lost a lot of men there.

Well, water can't stop me. Give

me your orders. Brother Chang.

We do need your skill. But still,

the Yuen brothers, they were good

swimmers too. But they lost their lives

there.

Hang Chao's heavily guarded, so we'll

need a good plan. Have you any

ideas?Well, you gave the order to retreat

here. You must have

some plan?I promise you this. We shall

open Hang Chao's gate soon. But first,

some men must infiltrate that city. Get

information. Feel out the place

before we attack it. Hey, that's

for me!

Of us all, of the 108 brothers

here, the best man for this job is Cao

Yi. First of all, he knows the

dialects, and he's smart, too.

Yes, he'll lead the group. Cao Yi.

Await your orders. We've

only one aim, to kill Fang Lan. And I

gave my word to the Emperor that we

would. If it cost me my life,

I'll do it.

Brother Shi, will you go too?

I'm ready now. Well, hang

chow for you. It's like a tiger's den.

So be careful. All the better. We can't

prove ourselves. I know this. To fight is

our destiny. That's why we're here.

I...

OhAnd of course, Brother Si Soo, will you

go?

Brother Si. I'll go. Si

Po killed my blood brother. I'll get him.

Listen. The Iron Ox is here. I'm

ready too! Now look,

you're not allowed to go. And don't try

to argue. Hmm

And why not then?You must have

forgotten one thing. Hang Chow surrounded

by water. You can fight while on land,

but still, not in the water. Huh

Listen, do you remember that fight that

you had with me once?You were no match

for me, were you?Now, come on. I

nearly killed you on land. Maybe so, but

in the sea, I had you yelling for your

life. Listen, just tell us what

happened. Let's hear it, huh

That time, our big friend was hiding by

the coast. One day, he fancied fish.

What are you doing?

Now you give me a nice, big fish. You let

our fish go. So what?

Just get me one.

Brother Chang's here.

Who is this clown, huh

Damn you!

Black ghost.

Ah

Lead way.

If Brother Song and Thai hadn't arrived,

I'd have finished you off.

Then what happened?

Come

here, unless you're not a man.

Hey, hey

God damn you, come ashore!

That's enough. That's all in the past.

The two of you can be equally useful. All

right, let's go.

But still, though, it won't work if

we send too few men.

All right, then. Yung Chang and his wife.

You two can go.

You seven. You will go to

Hang Chau. Check out the place

and plan the attack.

Get out of here.

Please let me through, sir. My little

boy's sick. He needs a doctor. I can't

afford to wait here. It's very serious.

Please let me through. I beg you. Well,

now it's coming. Didn't you know that?But

my boy is sick. He needs a doctor. Please

help me. Right. You can pass. Thank

you. Hey. Huh

Don't do it. You'll get yourself killed.

Let me go.

Assassin!

You got a sick child as well?

Come on!

That way, huhCome on, get it.

Come

on, move. Get out of

there. Move. He's logic,

come!

We've had some trouble. Two men started a

fight. Killed quite a few of our men.

Where'd you get them?They disappeared

somewhere. Come

on.

Damn it, you're a fool. And I just

couldn't stand anymore! Have

you forgotten what our orders were?

Damn it!

Listen, you've done it now. The

place is crawling with soldiers. all

looking for the black whirlwind.

So they know that we're here?

Kesha, shut up! Or else I'll get mad.

Take my axes and cut my way through to

the palace!

Now listen.

Hmm Calm down. You're soon gonna get your

chance, all right?

I wonder what information Brother Shi

will when he gets back here.

Miss Lord Jib, come! Miss Lord Jib, come!

Miss Lord Jib, come!

Follow it. The Ling

Shanmen approach. They're very close.

200 miles at the most.

You know that?I know. The leader of the

vanguard is Wu Sung. And so what?

We'll turn Wu Sung and his men into an

army of ghosts.

Bong just came back. Something's up.

Probably means our men are moving closer.

HmmWell, if they're that close now, and

we can't make any contact,With all the

troops in this place, there'll be heavy

losses. And that we can't afford.

We've been here for several days now. And

we've learnt nothing. I know, and we

must do something. Can't just sit here.

Let's discuss the problem with Shao Yi.

Well, how many are there?How many Ling

Shen Min got in here?

Now look here. What's going on?

I'm the leader. And you're my generals.

First of all, you lose in battle. You

couldn't beat those Lynx and Men. And now

you let them into the city.

My lord, we'll make a house-to-house

search, and we'll get every one of them.

No need. I don't

think they're just spies. It's more than

that. You mean... They're contact men to

help their troops get in. We'll have to

seal off all the city gates now. Hmm

hmm Now then, strengthen the guards,

particularly around the palace. Captain

Su, Captain Shi, those two, will patrol

the city streets. If we can just hold the

city, those damn bandits needn't worry

us. Fight! What could they do?

Those are orders. No gates can be opened

without an order. Signed by his Lordship.

Sir.

In Hangzhou, there are ten city gates.

Four of the biggest are on the lake.

First, Qin Tan Gate, Yungqin Gate,

Qingpo Gate, Chenhu Gate. Now then,

Fang La has moved all of his boats inside

the Qingpo Gate. Two roads there lead

to Yungqin Gate. If we force the water

gate, launch an attack there,Then we'll

make it. We'll fight our way into the

city from there. The gates will be the

difficult part, and that's going to need

perfect timing. Fanglar will

never know what hit him. If we tell the

commander this plan, then he has the

troops ready. I'll go in first and

force open the grill. I could do it.

Right. Let's discuss it in detail.

All of the gates are completely sealed.

Our men must be close now.

Tell me then, how will we make contact?

Our commander must be getting pretty

anxious. He's had no news. What'll

he think?And none of us can get out now.

I have a plan. Wait till dawn. Oh, what

is it?I'm getting bored with this place.

I want some action! It's all right for

some people here. They've had someaction.

Well, if you have a plan, then why wait

till dawn?It's the guards.

They're stricter at night. Daytime's

better.

Brother Lee, we can use you tomorrow

then. But it does mean you'll be

fighting alone. Good, that's the way I

like it. Now, look, don't throw his

life away. Of course I won't. We need

him. But I must have a diversion.

You two cover him. But don't fight too

long. Yeah. I bet he can't stop it.

Once he's got started. Uh-huh

Uh.. You're right. Forget it. Uh I

promise I won't! You say when, and I'll

leave! Now look.

This is serious business. It isn't a

game. Yeah, I know that!

Get back. The gate's closed. Get back.

Where you going?Why can't I leave here?

It's daylight now already. Right, if you

want to be a damn rebel. You know that

damn rebel?All the bandits?Huh

Come

on! I'm the Black Whirlwind! Come and get

me! Hey, he's a Lingshan

Rebel.

Let's go.

Ah

Get going. I'm having fun killing these

idiots.

If you won't come, we'll leave you. Good.

You go ahead. You got that

fool. Listen,

you go. I'll stay with

him. Shihu. Come on. Shihu.

You're really my sort of guy.

It's great. Ah, you

look like a real man. What's your name?

You're the Black Whirlwind. Don't you

recognize General T. Powell?

That's

super.

Oh,

God! Come quickly!

Black Whirlwind. Get him. Hold it.

Why, though?There must be others.

I'm going to follow him. Wait for my

signal. Be at the gate. Sir,

And who are you?I'm General Eton John.

Just in time. You can take your partner's

body away.

Huyu. My name's Ci

Siu. I'm a Ling Shan man. I had a good

day, 'cause I'd killed that bastard Shi

Pao. Ah

Brother. Where's

Shizu?He's still fighting. He made

me leave him there.

Is he still alive?

Let's get back.

Good. That was quite an intelligent

idea. Trying to make contact with your

men. I'm just an

ordinary man. I have no idea what you

mean. Honestly.

So you're just an ordinary man. I know

that you're Yenching, the graceful one.

I know you met the Emperor, met your

girlfriends. You promised the

Emperor that you would get all the Ling

Shan men to fight for him against Feng

La. That doesn't sound like an

ordinary man, does it?

You know quite a lot about me. There's

one more thing I know. You're an expert

wrestler. Oh?

You a wrestler?Oh, sure. In

fact, they say, I'm the best in the

South. Oh.

In that case, you must be one of the

marshals. The famous general,

Su Sing Fong. You may be the best

in the South. However, I'm the

best in the whole wide

world.

What do you want?First of all, I intend

to take your worldwide title from you,

and after that, I'll tear your head off.

Hey, now wait. If I beat you, they're

still your men. They'd probably kill me.

Ah

I'm sorry. You're just not ready for the

world title yet.

Now get back. Your general gets killed.

Now, general. Lend me your horse.

Tahi, we'd practically given you one.

I know. It wasn't easy.

But has the Commander made any plans yet?

He's been waiting for you to get back.

I'll take you to it. Good.

Ah, so you're here too. The Lingsan men.

Are they in the inn?Yeah. Black

whirlwind's in there and two others.

One's the tattooed dragon, Si Chin. The

other one, I don't know. Good.

That's three men, the same as us.

We'll take them alive, be good for our

reputations, and make us all famous.

With the three of us here, there should

be no problem. That's what I thought.

That's why I didn't send for troops. And

now our prince is here. Success is

guaranteed. We'll capture them all.

Still though, we'll be careful and take

no chances.

Chang Ching and Mrs. Sun, where are they?

I'll go and check.

Now listen, be careful.

to know me. Oh, why is a prince dressed

like a commoner though?

Right. We're leaving now. Let him go,

and we'll fight it out. I'll take you on.

Hey, now, look. What do you mean?Take

Fong and go. Listen, you?You've

forgotten why we're here. Get going.

Let's go. HuhRight,

Ti Ti. I'll stay with you.

You've already messed things up.

No,

no

No, oh,

oh, don't. Get back.

Let's get going.

Right. Yeah The

two of you are both marshals. So come

on.

You're too drunk. You've had enough. Sure

he has. Let's take him home.

Come again, sir?If he wants a drink,

let's try here. The wine's quite good.

You go in first. I'll look around, all

right?Okay.

Go get help. Tell my troops to get him.

And I promise you'll be well rewarded.

Yeah.

Oh, you've been harboring rebels here,

have you?No, noI didn't know

about this. God damn you.

We'll finish you. Well, your prince is

finished as well.

Hot! Hot!

Hot!

Hot!

One rebel's life. For a princess

and a marshal... It's worth it.

It's a real bargain.

Hide!

Take a good look. And the tatted

dragon.

We're Si.

He's gone. Si Chin is dead. But he

died a hero's death.

Seven of us came here, and now two of us

are dead.

Hong Jin, I'll have your life. Oh,

brother Shi, will you?That'll be an

honor.

Yin Ching's left the city, gone off to

contact his men.

But he'll be back, though. And he won't

know what's happened here. So when he

goes back to the inn again,

we can capture him and make him talk.

If we could capture Yenching, Fong

La would be happy.

Hey, you give the orders.

We'll post some men around the inn, but

tell them no uniforms. They've got to

wear civilian clothes, and

wait for Yenching to arrive here.

We don't know which way yen Feng is gonna

come back. How can we warn him?

Well, I'll try and hide somewhere near

the inn. And when he comes, if I can,

I'll warn him. Right. And I'll join you

when I'm finished. We'll

hang him in front of the palace. That'll

give them a shock. Tang La's soldiers

will start to get scared.

Good. Let's write the poster first,

then take him out. We'll pretend he's

drunk and carry him.

Prince, have a little drink.

Captain, my friend's pretty sick. And so

what?If you don't mind, lend me your

horse.

Hey, my friend here is real sick. Give me

a hand, huh

How's it look?The men waiting here are

all from lost soldiers. For sure, they're

waiting for Yenching. Listen,

what are we going to do?Yenching will be

trapped. We don't know which way he'll

come back. We'd better spread out. Yeah.

Hey,

listen, you can take Li with you.

The Commander's plan's a pretty good one.

A diversion, a feint at the North Gate.

Well, in fact, the major attacks at

Yunqing Gate. So then,

wait until noon,Chiang will open the iron

grill, and with luck, we're

inside. Cao Yi, the commander was saying

that when we break through at Yenching,

Feng Lao will try to escape by the north

gate. So I'll have an ambush waiting.

I hope he tries.

Cao Yi, our men attack at noon,

but if the grill isn't open, they'll be

caught out. They'll be sitting targets.

And they just wouldn't have any chance.

The grill is the key. Don't forget.

You'll be killed.

Time to go. Now then, you try and

distract the sentries for a while. I'm

going in now.

I hear the Ling San men hanged Prince

Feng Jin right in front of the palace

too. They left a message on the body. My

God. They said citizens had nothing to be

scared of and promised they wouldn't do

us any harm.

HuhI heard that lots of fangs went

deserted last night. They just got scared

and fangs had to post special guards.

Well, you've come back.

All your friends here. Been waiting for

you. Oh, that's so.

Tell 'em to come out.

Yeah! Come on,

Come

on

Yenching, we've got you now.

back at the end now.

Let me down. Let me down

beside my man.

Go away! I'm here now! Ah

Let's go. Why not leave?

Come on, just to get in. You're the one

we need now. Let Lee hold him up

here. Come on.

Come on

A black whirlwind is here. Handybodie

feel like taking him on.

Right.

Hold it! What do you want?Hey,

tell me, you're a good wrestler. Is that

right?Of

course. Only Shao Yi's better.

Well, did you know that you or Shao Yi

was beaten by me?You're lying!

In that case, wrestle with me. There's

nothing I don't dare--

For a duel with you, I'll risk my life.

Huddle up. Don't let him go.

John, I like the killing!

Get him!

I'm

going back. Stay here.

Attacking that gate's a good plan, and it

should work. The sentries on guard there

have all their boats moored well inside

that gate. So they don't expect that

there might be an attack from this side.

If we break through, Feng La's defenses

will probably collapse then. But

still, there's all those guards

watching that gateway. Now listen, you...

Well, my nickname is the White Fish. So

if I should die in the water, it'll be

quite appropriate.

Sung Chang is leading his men in. They're

ready to start the attack. Brother Chang.

Time to go. Right.

I'll fight my way into the city. Make for

the palace. Stop Fang escaping.

It's time now. My

brothers, go and lead your men.

All right. Now we can take vengeance for

all our dead brothers.

I hope Cheng makes it.

He will. The gate's poorly gone. Very few

men. Cheng's one's well

underwater. That's why they call him

Whitefish. He won't fail us.

So then, don't you worry. Umm

Somebody there?Can't be. Probably just a

big fish swimming past.

Hmm

Something's under the gate. Come on.

Hurry. Run!

My gun!

Brother! Brother!

Hey! Brother Chang!

Brother Chang sacrificed himself for us.

Go on, men! Kill our enemies!

My lord, the Lingshan men have broken

through the defenses at the Yongqing

Gate. Huh

How could that happen?Lungshan men are

already in the city, so we don't know how

many, and our soldiersA

losing heart. How could they get through?

Through the gate?It was the rebel Chang's

son. He opened the grill, allowing the

enemy boats to get through. My lord,

leave before it's too late.

Which way, though?All the gates are under

attack. Only the North Gate is free right

now. We can get out that way.

Well, summon my guards then. My lord,

your guards have deserted. Just

I and a few men will

have to act as your escort now.

Quick! His load chip's here. Defend him!

Pillow. Come

on, come on

You've been defeated. None of your men

are going to obey you now. Come on.

I'm yen Chin. I've been

waiting for you. You go

first. Come on, come on

All right, you. I'm Yenching. Where's

Fanglaga?He went up the hill. He took

some meds.

My lord, we don't stop.

You're loyal, men. I'm grateful.

I'll promote you all, I promise.

Hang on. You're moving too slowly.

Let's go.

Hello. It's all right. He's already badly

wounded.

Now ye!

Bangla, you took my arm,

but I'll take your life. A fair

exchange, huhYou dumb

Lingshang men. You never

stop bragging.

Brother Yan.

Brother Wu.

Commander Yenching has been killed. And

Commander Wu.

I knew he was dead, but I didn't dare

move.

Mission accomplished.

Still, I lost too many good men today.
