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!
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!
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
Come out!
Thank you!
Please be generous!
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!
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!
Hurry, we must save the general!
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!
