They're coming!

Attack!

General Yueh!

Where is he? Tell me!

Well?

He's been taken to Ling An

So we were decoyed!

We were tricked!

We must separate and return to Ling An

to wait for news from Hu Ping

There's nobody within 10 miles

We must reach Ling An by sundown

Yes

They say the general received

12 imperial orders to return

That cart just now

Could the general be in it?

No, he's a loyal officer

They wouldn't treat him that way

The country is run by corrupt men

Don't talk nonsense

Let's go have some tea

We've brought General Yueh Fei back

Ask him here

We'll have a looks at him

Get out, kneel!

Yueh Fei, you're a traitor

Kneel, for I represent the king!

Show some respect!

I once court marshaled you two

and punished you with only 40 strokes

Now you work for Chin Hui

and I'm in your hands

General Yueh

Times have changed

Take him away!

Find out how many accomplices he has

Rights

Enough!

Hu Ping, where are you men?

Talk and I'll spare you

Justice and loyalty

must be protected

I have nothing to say to traitors

You dare lecture me?

Beat him until he talks

Yes

Sir!

Well?

He hasn't talked

A lot of itinerant swordsmen

Must have infiltrated our town

We'll have trouble holding Yueh Fei

What have you arranged?

Lo Ju Chieh and I will go to the ministry

to get permission to execute him

Meanwhile, I hope you two

will keep him under close guard

Yes, it will be to your credit

Don't worry

Put in some good words for me

I know

Thank you

Let's start right away

Good

I'll see you off Don't bother

Use the fire

Yes

Well?

He got away

They've taken the general to Ling An

The Feng brothers stopped us

but we must save General Yueh

Have you done the map of the tunnel?

Yes, and the 40 men have arrived

What about Ta Chiang Security Bureau?

We can easily get 80 men

We're just waiting for Hu Ping

to confirm he's at Ta Ki Temple

Talk of the devil!

Are you waiting for Hu Ping?

Yes, where is he?

He's hurt, come and see

Careful, it may be a trick!

It's Hu Pings voice

Hu Pings

I'm .... finished

3 days ... must save ...

Someone's in the woods!

An ambush!

Will you come quietly

or will you end up like Hu Ping?

You talk big!

So you're the treacherous Feng Chung?

You're Szuma Chang Hung, one of the 7 Swordsmen

And you're the leader, Ling Ju Feng?

You're not fit to mention our names

Throw it!

You're nothing great. Here!

Chang Hung!

Damn, I'll get you sooner or later!

Lu Kun!

Yes !

String them up

so anyone looking for trouble

can know what to expect

Right!

Sister, look!

That�s Ling An

Yes, you go and ask brother

whether we should go in

Not yet

Why not?

It's a big place. good for business

Are we to sit here and starve?

She's right

I don't mean that

Don't argue with brother

At least let's go ashore

We've been aboard so long

Stop arguing

Ta Li, go locate the magistracy

and give them this with our compliments

I understand

When Ta Li returns, we'll decide what to do

Brother, third sister

What is it?

Someone caught my leg

He looks dead now

Go pick him up

No, not a dead body!

You forgot what mother used to say

touching a dead body will bring it's spirit

Nobody touched the two corpses just now

Don't be stupid

He's unconscious, but alive

Not dead?

Why should I lie?

Carry him to the boat

Go on!

Hurry UP!

Is it serious?

No

Those wounds will soon heal

He's pretty handsome

Don't talk rubbish

Hurry!

He looks like a swordsman

but he's still very young

There are young swordsmen everywhere

They say there's a Ling Ju Feng

Who saved thousands from the tartars

He's only about 20 years old

We know swordplay but we're ordinary

What is this place?

You're on our boat

What do you do?

We're performers

We're the Sung Troupe

Everyone's heard of us

I heard it has two acrobatic girls

who also walk the tightrope

and a stilt man

We're all one family

Glad to meet you

Why hasn't he heard of me?

Go to the city and get busy

All right!

I may be rude, but I'm honest

it's better not to go to the city

Just give the gift to passing officers

Come out, all of you!

Drop the screen. Don't mention me

What do you do?

We're performers, the Sung Troupe

Is there anyone else aboard?

Er .... I wouldn't know

Damn!

Anyone hiding Ling Ju Feng

will be killed with his family

Anyone who can reveal his whereabouts

Will be rewarded with 500 taels of gold

There's no justice any more

Sister!

Hurry!

Where is he?

Where did he go?

Strange

I'm Ling Ju Feng

You're the one worth 500 taels?

Quiet

You talk but say the wrong things

You almost got us into trouble

All right, it's my fault

Stop it

Knocking will make you more stupid

I'm a wanted man

I'd better go

Since you're here

We can't let you go till you're well

You're wet

I appreciate it

Hiding me could get you into trouble

Besides, you've already saved me once

I can't do this to you

Don't underestimate us

Who dares to look down on us?

Don't take it so seriously

I've things to do and can't stay

The Yuan troops are moving in

Only general Yueh Fei

can save the country and people, but ....

he's a prisoner at Ta Li Temple

Minister Chin sent 12 imperial orders

to deceive him into returning

If there's anything we can do

we'd be glad to lend a hand

But ....

We're rovers

but we know what justice means

Then I'll trouble you

Wear this flower into the city

When my friends see it

they'll contact you

We're the Sung Troupe, just arrived

To perform for you

Please don't be to critical

Good, good!

I've been tricked, scolded, bullied

envied, attacked, what to do?

Show respect, patience, and tolerance

and watch what he does

Miss Sung, from what you said

I really admire you

I've met many people

but few like you

Pity my swordplay wasn't good enough

and need you to tend to my wounds

Take your medicine

and then talk

Master Ling!

Master Ling!

Master Ling!

I'm Big Sung, the strongman

She's wearing a flower

Please be generous. Thank you!

Yes, but Ling might be in trouble

Perhaps not

That girl is trying to attract attention

Let's find out

Wait

Thanks

Come here!

Constable

I tipped you, and you hit me!

Public gatherings are not allowed

Get out!

All right!

This is for you

It won't be enough next time

Get out!

Get out!

There's no peace any where

Pack up and let's go

I'd like to ask you something

Go ahead

it's about the flower and that painting

We have similar flowers

Look!

Join us

I don't deserve such attention

Not at all

I hope you'll recover soon

You're a warm hearted family

Such selflessness is rare

Come here

Watch them and report any developments

Hurry!

Thank you

We're home

Is Master Ling better?

He's fine

Come in and sit down

Sister!

What is it?

Come on!

What is it?

This is for you

Aren't you going to thank me?

Sit down. Were you followed?

No

Enemy eyes are everywhere

Have a long chat with Master Ling

I'll keep a lookout

I'll go

OK

Brother Sung is very helpful

Not at all

The people are getting impatient

at Kuanti Temple and Tachiang Security Bureau

With no news from you they'll move tonight

The executioner is coming to Ta Li Temple

There's no time to lose

You're right

We've lost Hu Ping who knew the layout

We mustn't be rash

Besides, there's a price

on my head now

We mustn't make a wrong move

You're right

Let's go to the city first

No, posters of you are everywhere

You can't go in

Don't worry

Goodbye, brother Sung

You're going?

Yes. Thank you for everything

Master Ling!

Master Ling, take care!

He was eavesdropping

How many of them were there?

Two

The other one got away

Brother Sung, better not stay here

Strongman, get aboard

OK

Raise anchor!

Right!

Master Ling, take care!

Beware of a trap!

Hold it!

Going into the city?

Come out!

None must remain alive!

Tell them at Kwanti Temple

we'll meet at Tachiang Security Bureau

Right!

Ju Feng!

Our numbers have been decimated

We'll have to play this by ear

Come on!

Lu Kun was a careful man

Tricky even after death

What does Tachiang mean?

Ta Chiang ....

Ta Chiang Security Bureau!

Hu Ping and Chang Hung

Died for the Sung reign

Master Chin, Chief Chou

Your mission will be dangerous

You'll lead the men tonight

To cover both sides of Ta Li Temple

I'll take the left, you the right

I'll lead the Kwanti Temple men

via the tunnel

At midnight we'll attack

and you'll back us up

it's the only way to save General Yueh

Rights

Chang Chun will open the gates

Be ready to charge in

Right!

After we've got the general

we'll leave by the tunnel

while Chin keeps the enemy at bay

Right! Hsiao Mu and I will come with you

Right!

Get ready, we meet at Ta Li Temple

Now, Master Ling?

We'll go into the tunnel first

Go on, Chang Chun!

Open the gates!

Careful!

Damn!

Separate and look for the general!

Well?

They seemed to be ready for us

Liang Ju Feng, you won't get away!

One move and Yueh Fei dies!

Back off!

Back!

Block the tunnel!

Right!

Only the three of you? Where's the general?

We'll save him sooner or later

Attack!

Every man has his peer

Stay here, I'm going back to Ta Li Temple

Kill anyone emerging from the tunnel!

Right!

Did you get Ling Ju Feng?

No

I killed all three from the tunnel

He got away

He can't do anything alone

Maybe

You've seen someone and you're worried

Whom?

Master Ling!

Nonsense!

I'll tell brother

We'll set up outside Ta Li Temple

and see if anything's up

I don't care where

No need to pretend. Brother

All right

We hope you'll enjoy the show

Our girls know a special feat

They can contract into a wine flagon

Please be generous

Look, she's inside

Good

Good

Come out!

Thank you!

Please be generous!

Thank you!

Thank you!

What is it?

Dead bodies!

They tried to rescue General Yueh

but all got killed

Ta Chiang Security Bureau is closed

Kwanti Temple is under guard

The executioner comes for Yueh tomorrow

Disperse the crowd!

No, let them see the bodies

Let them be a warning

Master Ling is here

You didn't leave the City?

Master Ling!

I've failed!

Don't feel so bad

it's not your fault

You did your best, don't blame yourself

I'm ashamed to see anyone

Don't be so depressed

There's always a way

Yes, we can do it again!

Easier said than done

Ta Li Temple is impenetrable

Every part is guarded

I led over 100 men

but we failed

Now I'm alone

Let me have a word now

it's easy to save the general

Never mind the guards

They're all on the ground

4th sister can go by rooftops

3rd sister can contract into the dungeon

They won't even know

and we can save general Yueh

That makes sense!

It doesn't take numbers to succeed

We can still save the general!

This is almost suicidal!

Do you think we're afraid of death?

I don't mean that

Even if you hadn't mentioned it

we'd have thought of it

I'm an ordinary person

but I know justice and loyalty

If I didn't do what I could

I'd never forgive myself

You must save general Yueh

Are you afraid?

It's something that must be done

no matter what the danger

And you?

I'm not afraid to do what I must do

What about you, Strongman?

I don't know

Whatever you dare, I dare

What else is on your mind?

While they're confident, we must move

Your selflessness

deserves respect

Brother Sung, up!

After I'm up

use the rope. Be careful

Rights

Master Ling, don't worry about us

You must take care

Thank you

it's up to you, Strongman

I know

I'll wait to catch the general

Right!

But don't leave this spot

I won't

We've done a good job for Chin Hui

We'll be influential and rich

We must wait for the executioner

to finish the job first

He's arriving tonight

Nothing can go wrong

I saw General Yueh inside

Sister won't have to use her skills

Strongman was only half right

Someone's on the roof! Surround it!

Someone's on the roof! Surround it!

Imagine, in broad daylight

What have you done with General Yueh?

Why should I tell you?

Come down and I might spare you

Disperse

Go find General Yueh!

You know the art of contraction?

The general is here!

Kill Yueh Fei!

I won't die by your hands!

General Yueh!

Who're you?

Ling Ju Feng. I came to save you

I've heard of you

Hurry, or it will be too late!

No need. Justice will prevail

The law will decide my fate

Hurry!

Say no more

You take the general. I'll hold them off

Hurry, Miss Sung

You go first!

Miss Sung, hurry!

You too, back off!

Strongman!

Get the archers ready!

Yes

Strongman! Strongman!

How is he?

He's gone!

Strongman!

Get rid of their helpers outside

Yes

Strongman!

Strongman!

Hurry, we must save the general!

Strongman!

Strongman!

Sister!

I'm coming!

Where were you?

Catch!

I've got him!

Never mind me, go!

Hurry, Sister!

Yu Erh, go!

Master Ling, what about you?

One can die in glory or in shame

I couldn't be your wife

but in death we can be together

Don't forget we came to save the general

I know

The rose you hold will remind you of me

Hurry, Yu Erh!

Let's go before there's big trouble

No

We must get the general to safety

Hurry!

Put me down!

I'm Sung

This is my third Sister

Let me go back

You mustn't!

Damn it!

This is ridiculous

You mustn't go back

Hundreds have died for your sake

My sister gladly died for you

You mustn't go back!

I must abide by the law

Think: You led 100,000 troops

and defeated 1,000,000 enemy troops

only to end up like this

it's a trick by corrupt minister Chin

Right

A soldier must obey orders

But you needn't have heeded

That�s right

Nonsense! Have you no respect for the law?

I have nothing to fear

Look

My mother carved this on my back:

be loyal to your country

I've always heeded these words

I must obey my superiors, corrupt or not

You mustn't go back!

You mustn't return!

Master Ling!

3rd sister! Wake up!
