The Wandering Swordsman (1970) - full transcript

The charismatic David Chiang joins the "queen of Shaw Brothers kung-fu," Lily Li, is an entertaining "Martial Arts World" epic about a hero who robs from the robbers and gives to the poor - making the vengeful robbers very cross indeed!

Damn

What is it? You found anything?

Yes

The Shum residence has a security head

and a number of servants

The security head is highly skilled
in kung fu

but we can still proceed as planned

Let's do it at the second watch

afterwards you go towards the east

and lure the security head away

I'll bring the gold here



After you get away

let's meet here

There's still some time before
the second watch

Let's go to town

to facilitate us making a move

Right

Inside please

Waiter

Coming...

Come and wait on master

Please sit

After I've had my fill

I have to do some robbing

Sir, you must be joking



Who's joking with you?

But I need to check on lady-luck for today

Do you have a calendar?

I want to check it out

if today is inauspicious for stealing?

Damn

You are funny

No such thing is recorded
in the calendar, is there?

No?

There can't be

But according to what I see

today is bad for stealing

and the second watch is an
inauspicious hour

If I pull a job

most likely...

Most likely what?

You'll meet a ghost

We should be going

Thanks...

Good bye

Waiter

Coming...

Is there a Shum residence here?

Yes

The Shums are well known

around here as a rich family

They have a security head

Sir, you...

Don't worry

I am not planning to rob

Just wild talk

I'm looking for a friend

My friends specialises in security

Then you could have a look at
the Shum residence

Sir, what would you like?

Anything will do

just keep the good stuff coming

Yes... certainly...

See, I was right

our affairs are top secret

who would know about it?

Somehow I feel something is not right

Don't be neurotic

When we are done tonight

we'll be rich and will hurry on our way

Brother Kung's matter can no longer
be delayed

Let's go

Waiter

Coming...

Is this enough?

Yes

It's too much

That's right

Find me a piece of string

about two feet long, and thick as a thumb

I don't need this silver

Thank you...

Sir, is this okay?

Not bad

Thank you...

If you dare move

I'll cut off your right ear

I told you already

today is bad for stealing

and the second watch is an
inauspicious hour

You bastard...

Your ear

God damn, quite a lot

Thank you

You bastard, you can't escape

I can't walk anymore

When are you going to stop?

My leg hurts

I can't make it

What are you doing?

Brother, a few days ago the river flooded

and drowned some villages

we were lucky to escape from it

We've nothing to eat and no place to live

and don't know where we should go

You knew that the river would flood

so you shouldn't be living close
to the river

We've been living there for
several generations

Brother...

Don't be sad

Look at this

Gold...

How many are you?

Divide them equally among yourselves

That's good

You are our saviour

Thank you, you are really the living god

Our saviour

Let go of me

You don't have enough

Alright... I've still got some change here

take them all

Saviour, we don't mean that

There are so much already, you...

Enough

Huang Tung Town

Sir, have a seat please

This way

Sir, please

Bring some good food

Yes...

Master Huang

This morning

a living god appeared in the woods

did you know that?

Yes, I heard about it too

He's a real life-saver

The eight hundred victims who fled
from the flood

have all been well taken care of

The life-saver

came down from heaven

and put down over a thousand taels of gold

and disappeared in the clouds

Yue Lai Inn

Waiter

Coming...

How much will that be?

Thirteen cents, thank you

Waiter

This is the Huang Tung Town

Yes

Is this the Yue Lai Inn?

Sir, yours is thirteen cents

I know

Huang Tung Town is the

centre of the east and the west

That's correct

This is the biggest inn in town

and is also the biggest restaurant

Yes...

The food is good...

and the price is cheap

Very cheap

Sir, it's thirteen cents

Very cheap

Make it twenty including tips

Thank you

Where's the money?

Money?

Fine, put it on my bill

I'll come again tonight

we'll settle it then

Well, look at your sly face

you must be up to no good

One meal isn't enough for you

What's the matter with you?

So what?

You want to eat without paying,
I'll beat you up

You're a young fellow

why don't you learn to be good?

We're a small business

If everyone were like you

then...

It's not that I don't want to be good

Only if I hadn't played the role
of life-saver

I wouldn't have to eat without paying

Boss

I think this kid has no money at all

let me beat him up

Got it

Look at these two swords

they're very sharp and could be worth
some money

Let's make a deal

These swords are worth some money

I'll leave them here with you

and redeem them when I have money

We have no use for such weapons

Let me see

They are good swords, trust me

Would you sell them for 10 taels
of silver?

Waiter

Looks sly, wants to eat for free

he won't pay even if he has money

If you want to beat me do it now

Sir, you must be joking

How do I dare?

I didn't think so

Thanks...

Thanks...

Had I known it couldn't be retrieved

I should have asked for 100 taels
of silver

I've lost in this deal

With a swift horse I'll still make it

Coming

Brother Choy

Miss Jiang, go quickly

Brother Choy

Miss Jiang

Is Chief Jiang alright?

You are not worthy to ask about my brother

I swore once

anyone from the Wei Sheng security bureau

would be in trouble if they ran into me

There'll be one less every time
one sees me

But Miss Jiang...

I could show some mercy

Hey, don't bully the young lass

She'll cry soon

Good

You know I have no weapons

and gave me a sword when we met

Leave quickly

One more strike and...

you'll be shamed

Damn kid, we'll meet again

We'd better not

if we did, you won't just go bareback

Brother Choy...

Don't cry... Miss

You're beautiful

but you look awful when you cry

Makes an unsightly scene

I'd rather die than see you cry

It's no use pretending dead

Miss, you can't bring anyone back to life

You'd better not cry

But I'm heartbroken

Brother Choy treated me very well

Right

you should be sad

and being sad you should cry

But the one who treats you well

doesn't want you to be sad either

So you need not cry

Let's make a bet, shall we?

On what?

That you'll not cry

See, there are three dices

I'll throw them

If all happen to be red, don't cry

Look, you lose

Don't cry when you lose

You've got to be tough

You wouldn't look nice

when you cry

What's your name?

Wandering Swordsman

What about you?

I am Jiang Ning

Siao Ning Ji

You've saved my life

How am I going to repay you?

No need to thank me

But since I'm going after someone

you can lend me your horse

That's not good

You're alone, you might get into trouble

I'd better take you home

Where's your home?

It's very far away

At Henan

I'm here with the security bureau

I've asked my Brother Choy to take me out

but unfortunately we came across
Jin the robber

Let me take you back to the
Huang Tung Town

Good

Siao Ning Ji

There are two things which you should
not do again

What are they?

First, don't go with the
security bureau again

There are too many bad people
in the martial arts world

Second, don't cry

Let's go

Huang Tung Town

Siao Ning Ji, I've to go after someone

I can't go with you anymore

You...

You want to cry again

Maybe I've to fake being dead again

Miss Jiang

Where's Brother Choy?

Brother Choy...

was killed by a robber named Jin

Miss Jiang, hurry back to the inn

This is a serious matter

Chief Huang has to decide on this.
Let's go

Huang Tung Town Inn

The single sword swordsman, Jin Li Loi

Miss Jiang, do you know where

the hero who saved you has gone?

He said he had to go after someone

The goods we are escorting are worth a lot

The news has been leaked out

someone might rob the goods

So Chief and us go separate ways

to distract those robbers

He will arrive a day later

It was unfortunate that we came
across Jin Li Loi

Jin has seen only me

and doesn't know that we are
escorting the goods

Last year at the Shan Gan Road

Jin Li Loi and his gang tried to
rob the goods

and four of them were killed by the Chief

He was the only one who escaped

This time if he's alone

I can still handle it

but if he's got help...

Chief Huang

let's wait for another day

and set off when Chief arrives

How can that be?

If something is to happen...

it will happen; we might as well set off

in order not to cause suspicion

Chief Huang

We've looked around

and haven't found anyone suspicious

But last night the Shum family

at the neighbour town was robbed

After that the two men ran away
by separate routes

even the security head could not
arrest anyone

This is the work of the
Flying Robbers of Ji Dung

The Flying Robbers?

Guo Tien Wan, Fang Tien Lung

It's them

If they and Jin Li Loi are of
the same gang

then...

Chief Huang, if someone is going
to rob the goods

...there must be some indication

I think it is just a coincidence

No need to over react

I just hope that the Chief
will be here soon

Let's resume our journey

Let's go, we've finished resting

Miss Jiang

You've been exposed

you can't stay with the group

I'll leave two men behind

you stay here and wait for the Chief

Alright

You two stay behind

Yes

Stay out of trouble

Yes

Let's go

Go

Sir, please...

Go in

Do you see?

See what?

The troop of carts

Yes

That's our target

Brother Kung

The carts are filled with fruits

what use do we have for them?

They put up a good front

but they can't fool me

That's the Wei Sheng
security bureau's escort

inside these carts

It's the valuable goods

Then what are we waiting for?

It's not yet time

I want to wait till we're sure to succeed

Yes, your nickname is 'Fail-Safe'

You make a move

only if it's a sure-win

The strange thing is I haven't seen

Chief Jiang Wei of the bureau

I bet he has the most valuable stuff

These carts might be just a cover

I have a way to find out

Go in front to the

Hou Jiou gambling house at
Yien Shia Pu & await me

Yes

Gentlemen, have you seen

someone with a three-sectioned staff

and with a thick beard?

Gentlemen, I'm talking to you

Get lost... leave us alone

What's the matter?

How come the people at
Yien Shia Pu are so unruly?

We are not from Yien Shia Pu

Good scolding

Besides, I'm not a local

And anyone is surely the grandson
of one's ancestor

Hey

There's no need to get so mad

Are you leaving or not?

I've lost so much, I'm steaming

I am prepared to do anything now

and you still dare to bullshit me here

Go

There's a gambling house in front

Right

You'll never have enough money to bet

at the gambling house of Hou Jiou
at Yien Shia Pu

They are cheating in gambling

Don't bring it up

even the capital for the
small business is gone

Get up...

It's no use just sitting here

My money is borrowed

How much have you lost?

3 taels

And you?

Two and a half taels

I bet on a small number but they
opened a big number

Here are 9 taels of silver

Go and do your business

Remember, if you are no match to other

don't gamble again

Wait

It's not that I don't want to give

but I must leave some

Yien Shia Pu

Hou Jiou Gambling House

Get lost and don't make trouble here

What is it?

You've lost & didn't leave,
& want to create trouble?

Beat him

What are you doing?

None of your business

It wasn't supposed to be

but I have come here

to have some fun with this money

But you guys look so fierce

that I dare not go in

Is there another one close by?

None within a hundred miles

He wants to create trouble after
losing in gambling

We must teach him a lesson

That's right

I'm different

I can win all your money

Yes... please...

Brother, don't go. They are all swindlers

You will surely lose

Even if you win

they won't let you go

That's a trap

Damn you

You like kicking

This bastard is talking nonsense,
he must be kicked

I like talking nonsense too

I say people always cheat in gambling

Try kicking me too

Thanks for rescuing me

This is not a proper place for you to stay

I am different. I like trouble

This is the strangest thing on earth

A gambling house preventing punters
from entering

Get me some chips

Eight taels net

Place your bets...

Come here those with heavy bets

Quickly

Excuse me

Place your bets if you want to get rich

Wait

What's the matter?

Nothing. For starters

I'd like to examine your dice to see
if it's loaded

Nonsense

If I were speaking nonsense

what's the big deal letting me look
at them?

Alright, examine them

Looks okay

Wait

I hear the Hou Jiou gambling house
is honest

It's really true

Only eight taels of silver

Place them on twelve

Fix the bet on that

Place your bets...

Place your bets...

Open

All red

three, four

Twelve, I win

Twelve in total

Small, lose and Big, win

Twelve wins

The odds are one to sixteen

8 taels of silver become thirteen and six

Come, place the bet on twelve again

Good, let's play in style

As it should be

Place your bets...

Open

Oh, three red again

Twelve again

Thirteen six

become two hundred seventeen and six

Dice rollers

here are seventeen six as tips

two hundred taels are enough for me

Thank you

Still place the same bet?

Yes

Still twelve

Oh? Two hundred fixed on twelve

Stop that noise...

Oh? Three red again

I win again

Three thousand and two hundred taels

Waiter, get someone honest

and carry the silver for me

Master Jiou...

Right, they say people always cheat
in gambling

your dice is loaded

I'm not playing anymore

Not playing?

Of course not

your dice is loaded

everyone sees that

I'm no fool, why shoud I play?

Your technique is good

considering that you're here
despite being blind

I'll reward you 8 silver coins

to get out of this place

What do you mean by this?

3,200 taels of silver, not a tael less

If you don't have enough silver,
gold will do instead

3,200 taels

Take this

Attack...

Come on

Oh, Heaven tiles

A pity, such a coward

Gone before the money is taken

Sorry, Master Jiou

3,200 taels of silver

Please issue a payment note

I want it issued from a reliable bank

Quick, write the note

to this young master here

Hurry

Go

Quick... give it to him

Have a few drinks

I've won it

Brothers

Bother Kung instructed us

to wait for him at the Hou Jiou's
gambling house

I believe brother Kung has come
to wait for him

Yes

But someone was causing trouble
at his gambling house

so it's unwise for us to show ourselves

lest they suspect us and ruin our plan

You two can spend the night at the inn

Alright, let's go

Yien Shia Pu

Go

Chief Huang

we have been disguised as peddlers

If we continue our journey through
the night

it might arouse suspicion

that's why I've loaded our carts
with fruits

These are perishable items

which have to be gotten rid of
as soon as possible

so that others won't be suspicious

Chief Huang, how thoughtful of you!

Let's go

Huang Tung Town Inn

Here's the wine

Since you've been around
in the martial arts world

have you heard of a knight

named the Wandering Swordsman?

No

Aren't you Miss Jiang?

Miss Jiang, haven't seen you for
seven or eight years

You've grown up a lot

You haven't seen me for so long

of course I've grown up

I can't always be eight or nine years old

But I still recognize you

Where's your brother?

It'd be nice

to be able to see your brother again

Brother Wei...

Stop shouting, my brother isn't here

He's not here?

Your brother is my best friend

where's he?

He may be able to make it here

by this time tomorrow

Who are you?

My name is Kung

Never heard of it

Chief has a friend named Kung

Naturally

Chief Jiang has made a lot of friends

He must be here tomorrow

to meet you all

Yes, he...

Hey, what are you trying to find out?

Miss Jiang, I have to do that

If your brother is anxious to
meet you here

then he won't have the treasure with him

He just wants to distract others

I can surely succeed

if I rob him before he arrives

Oh, so you are Kung Wu, the 'Fail-Safe'

That's me

He's mentioned earlier that he is Kung

Miss Jiang, he's the security bureau's
nightmare

He's Kung Wu the 'Fail-Safe'

a robber who specialises in
robbing security bureaus

This is called 'Fail-Safe', understand?

Take her away

Go

That's bad... someone's got killed

Hurry and report to the authorities

This is the end, I won't be able to
open the shop

Please

Tie her up

Brother Jin

Have your men heard about

news from Jiang Wei?

Yes. Unicorn, speak

I went to the Wei Sheng security bureau

and followed them

I know that Jiang Wei and Chief Huang

left Luoyang City together with the goods

Then...

I followed them to the east of the city

and at the junction

Jiang Wei and the others split up

Jiang Wei rode south

Chief Huang travelled east

They all dressed up as peddlers

Brother Kung

the treasure should be with Jiang Wei

No, I knew this already

Jiang Wei will catch up with
Huang's men tomorrow

If he has the treasure with him

he wouldn't have to do this

They must be escorting the goods in secret

Jiang Wei wanted to distract others

so he took a short-cut

in order to meet them and set off together

Then we...

We'll rob him before he joins Chief Huang

This a such a good opportunity

But brother Kung

there's a damn kid from nowhere

Even Fang Tien Lung and Guo Tien Wan

have been defeated by him

Looks like this kid too is following
the treasure

We have to watch out

You're right. I'll be more careful

Of course

Brother's nickname is the 'Fail-Safe'

Unicorn, you stay here and watch the girl

Don't let her run away

Yes

Let's go to the Yien Shia Pu

Alright

Bought my knife for ten taels of silver

Guess it's a good deal for you
to keep it several hours

The silver in the bag is mine

It's quite heavy

All crows are black

All silver is white

How can you tell they are yours?

Got your name on them?

It will answer you?

Stand aside

What's your name?

Jung Sz Hu

You should be called Mian Hu (mushy)

Bullshit

First it was deep-fried, now you were
hard boiled

no wonder you look so mushy

Want something different?

How about frying?

Add in some seasoning too

Let's attack him together

It's you

I forgot

All those I have defeated are here

Bloody kid

I don't want to mess with you

please excuse me

Brother Kung, it's him

Good skill

I've told you not to create
unnecessary trouble

and mess up proper business

What's this all about?

Brother Kung, I must kill this kid

I must skin him

I want to cut off his hands to
ease my anger

That's easy to say

What has he done?

He used a dice filled with mercury

and cheated me 3,200 taels of silver

He hung me on a tree

and robbed me a thousand taels of gold

Brother Kung, look

he poured oil on me

Then splashed me with hot water

and robbed my bag

Brother Kung

Stop fighting, we are together

Are we?

I don't know your sister

If I had a sister who knew

a knight like you

she is indeed fortunate

You are too kind

But it's unfortunate that a person
as skillful as you

is a gang member of the Unicorn Clan

Bullshit

I suppose you guys

are bastards from the Unicorn Clan

If you are not from the Unicorn Clan

why are you helping them

to go against us?

Bullshit

There's no point arguing with him

Kill him so he won't be in our way

That's right

You said that you have business to
attend to

what do you want to do?

We six brothers are known as
the Six Heroes of Da He

It's a pleasure to know you

You are all heroes

They may be rough

and did not pay attention to formalities

But you cheated, robbed

and steal

You are not that good after all

We're equal

You come all the way to go against us

Looks like the Unicorn Clan has
already known

about what we are going to do

and has planned to make a fool of us

Stop saying that I'm connected

to the Unicorn Clan

You may be right

You are such a young hero

You shouldn't be like them

doing all sorts of evil deeds

But...

I've got it

You guys want to take advantage
of the Unicorn Clan

Is that right?

The Unicorn Clan has great influence

and align themselves with the government

bullying the people

The six of us are unable to fight them

but have heard that

they have recently succeeded in
robbing some treasure

and will send to the Capital to
bribe the authories

A certain Chief Huang is responsible
for the delivery

We are not keen on the treasure

but the river flooded recently

and drowned some villages

How sad!

So we want to rob that treasure

as a relief to the villagers

which is much better than spending it
all ourselves

Good, that's wonderful

To tell you the truth

we will do it before dawn

If you have no connection with
the Unicorn Clan

please do not obstruct us

What's this all about?

How can you keep me out of this?

Please forgive us

We don't even know who you are

This is a matter of importance

My name is the Wandering Swordsman

To tell you the truth

I've robbed this guy of a 1000 taels
of gold

and have given it all to the refugees

Then we share the same belief

My name is Kung Bi Yau

If you wish to join us

I'll have to ask my other five brothers

Come over and greet this hero

We didn't know each other before

and I apologize for any offence that
I've made

Don't mention it...

Those people from the Unicorn Clan
are foxy

They knew that

someone will be after them on the way

So they disguised themselves as peddlers

We have speedy horses

Please go with us

and catch up with them before dawn

Good

Please

Someone is hiding in the forest,
everyone be careful

Chief Huang, your Clan has great influence

why do you have to dress up like this?

Chief Huang?

Stop pretending

We are the followers of the
Wandering Swordsman

and are coming for the treasure

Grab the treasure, don't harm anyone

I've told you not to kill

Get lost

Don't keep anyone alive

otherwise they will report and
we'll be in trouble

Rubbish

How can we kill indiscriminately!

If I did that

all your men would be dead by now

I ask you...

Congratulations

You have great skill

Chief Huang is a bad guy

You'll be famous

for killing him

Be careful

The treasure must be there somewhere

They are all here

Look

This treasure is

worth at least thirty to
forty thousand taels of gold

Many refugees could benefit

from this treasure

Oh yes?

We have fought so hard

and should have some reward

Hero, if you take this

people won't look up to you

Alright

I hope that you'll give them all

to the refugees

Goodbye

Take care of the dead men and the carts

and don't leave any trace

Yes

Go

Hurry and go, hurry...

Miss Jiang

you know that I am in trouble

Miss Jiang, we are in trouble

Chief Huang is dead

the treasure has been robbed

Really?

Miss Jiang, the chief will be here soon

let's go to meet him

Let's go to meet my brother

I'll go to someone

who can help us

Miss Jiang

Who are you trying to find?

He must be at the Yien Shia Pu

His name is the Wandering Swordsman

Wandering Swordsman?

He was the one who led the bandits

Rubbish

Miss Jiang

Is the Wandering Swordsman
you're talking about

very young and carrying a pair of
short swords?

Exactly

That's him

I don't believe it...

Miss Jiang, where are you going?

To look for him

No need to follow me

You go to meet my brother

and I'll go and find the
Wandering Swordsman

Hou Jiou Gambling House

Tidy up, hurry

Don't be afraid

Where's Hou Jiou?

Master Jiou went out when he heard
someone shouting

on the street and never came back

Really?

Really didn't

Honestly

Master Jiou said there was no need
to pack up

Come over

I said come over

Yes

Where's Hou Jiou?

He went through the woods in the east

and took a short cut to the
Huang Tung Town

What did he say?

He said he wouldn't come back and

there was no need to manage
the gambling house

Let me ask you

There's a guy named Kung who was
with Hou Jiou

Who's he?

He's Master Kung

The famous Kung Wu, the 'Fail-Safe'

The 'Fail-Safe', Kung Wu?

Yes

He said he was Kung Bi Yau

the 'Fail-Safe'

Wouldn't that mean he's sure to
get what he wants?

Good

When they arrived at the Huang Tung Town

where did they go after that?

I don't know

Prepare a horse for me

Yes, there's one outside

Wandering Swordsman

Siao Ning Ji

I've business to attend to,
see you next time

Wandering Swordsman, don't go

Siao Ning Ji, what's with you?

You...

Siao Ning Ji, don't cry

Don't you remember

you look terrible when you cry?

You took a gang to rob the
Wei Sheng security bureau

and killed Chief Huang

Goods from the Wei Sheng security bureau

Chief Huang...

Tell me you didn't do it

Tell me it wasn't you, not you

Siao Ning Ji

Chief Huang was escorting some treasure

and he disguised himself as a peddler

That's correct, you didn't do it

It wasn't you, was it?

No, Siao Ning Ji, it was me

You...

Don't be excited

I'll get back the treasure for you

You... you are a robber

You can't get away with it

Stop

Chief, it's him

He's the head of the gang,
the Wandering Swordsman

Chief Jiang?

You robbed the treasure, didn't you?

Chief Jiang, I have just parted
with your sister

and I've promised her

that I will recover the treasure

before sunset today

What are you talking about?

I must recover the treasure

Hmm, an internal dispute

Your gang members took
the treasure away, right?

Whatever you say

If you trust me, wait for me here

Don't stop me

Why should I trust you?

If you do, you'll get back the treasure

Don't trust him, Chief

He was the head of the gang

Friends

If I had not kicked your ass

so hard at that time

and made you fly off a long way

you would have died by now

You led the gang to rob the treasure

naturally, I'd look for you

Chief, Miss Jiang is here

Sister

Brother

He robbed the treasure

Who's he?

The Wandering Swordsman

So damn hot

Wait until Brother Kung comes back
with the currency

You won't complain about the heat
while holding a girl

in Yi Shiang brothel at the Luoyang City

Brother Kung is great

With just a few words

he could convince that kid

to help us rob the treasure

Six Heros of Da He

What a good name!

I'm afraid that kid

still has wool pulled over his eyes

Who is it?

Brother Kung is right

You are all here

That's right

Brother Kung asked us all

to wait for him here

It's hot, do you have any cold water?

There's a well at the courtyard

Go and get it yourself

Where's Kung Wu?

Speak

Alright

Brother Kung is waiting for two people
at the woods

They are from the Unicorn Clan

They are carrying the gold

for our booty

Hero, spare me

I have to take care of

my eighty year-old mother

Eighty years old already

How strange

mothers are always eighty years old

How come they can't be seventy-nine

nor eighty-one

Brother

I know where he is

Their hiding place

is in a house outside the Huang Tung Town

There's a pumpkin yard in front of
the house

I was locked up by Kung at the house

and managed to escape at dawn

That one is Iron King, Jung Sz Hu; And...

He's one of the flying robbers
of Ji Dung, Guo Tien Wan

The single swordsman, Jin Li Loi

The foxy Hou Jiou

This is Fang Tien Lung,
one of Ji Dung's flying robbers

That's weird

It's been rumoured that
the five of them are

followers of Kung Wu, the 'Fail-Safe'

How come they've got a new chief

called the Wandering Swordsman?

Just the five of them

Chief Huang is no match for them

I'm too careless

I thought I could escort the treasure
safely

by using a diversion

Too bad it has turned out to be otherwise

Brother

There's someone by the name of Kung

who pumped me with questions

I said you'd arrive a day later

Oh?

All the treasure is gone!

It'd would be disastrous

if the treasure could not be retrieved

Brother, look

How come these people died here?

It doesn't look like they were killing
each other

They were stabbed by short sword

The Wandering Swordsman...

Chief

Just now some people in town

saw a man covered with blood

and bandaged his wounds with his dress

He rode on a horse

and sped toward the woods

I figured that guy must be
Wandering Swordsman

He's wounded

That's good

How long ago?

I've asked about it too

It was about an hour ago

Brother, we...

Let's go after him

Looks like the Wandering Swordsman

is going after someone too

He may be chasing after Kung Wu,
the 'Fail-Safe'

He robbed the treasure

but he said

he would help us retrieve them

Don't believe in him

If he hasn't got the treasure

they must be with Kung Wu

Let's chase

Yes

Chief Wen

the 'Fail-Safe' may be here

Yes

Brother Kung...

Brother Kung...

Kung Wu, come out

Hello, Chiefs

Have you succeeded?

I'm nicknamed the 'Fail-Safe'

Once I make a move, it's sure-win

What are these?

Pearls, Jade etc.

Any one of these

is worth over thousands of taels of silver

Have you got the money order ready?

A hundred thousand taels of silver
is too cheap

You could double the profit

re-selling the treasure

Of course I've got the notes with me

Show us first

See that...

Yes...

Brother Kung

We'll do a fair exchange

Put the treasure on the fan

The Unicorn Clan can bully others

but not me

Double the profit by

re-selling the treasure

What? You want to kill us all

Chief Wen

We'll call off this deal

You want to die in this forest?

Chief Wen

don't blame me to be cruel

Just blame yourself for being
too merciless

Brother Kung

If you don't retrieve your hand

I can cut off your right hand

just to be sure

Do you believe?

Yes...

Go over

Brother, let's talk about it

you can have all the treasure

Of course I will

Hurry...

But Brother Kung...

We have to sort things out

Please speak...

Why did you get me involved in this?

Well...

You have been fighting against
Fang Tien Lung

You are highly skilled

I thought you wanted to have a share of it

so we might as well get you involved

Good idea

What a nice plan

No wonder you are nicknamed
the 'Fail-Safe'

You wouldn't kill me, would you?

What do you think?

What about it?

I've lost. No luck

Nothing more to say

Good

It's good that you admit you have lost

Kung Wu

Miss Jiang

All that treasure is among the grass

I suppose it's all there

Go and get it

Brother, it's all there

Although it's rotten luck

I can still recover my loss

You...

Wandering Swordsman...

Siao Ning Ji

Is all the treasure there?

I'm so ashamed

I... I have been deceived by others

You are seriously wounded

Don't cry

You look beautiful

but not when you cry

Looks so terrible

I'd rather die than to see you cry

Alright, I won't cry

Stop pretending to die

Wandering Swordsman...

He's dead

No... he's not, he's pretending

He doesn't like me crying

He said I look terrible when I cry

Wandering Swordsman, I won't cry

Look, I'm not crying

Bring his body to the Huang Tung Town

Brother, I'm not crying

He didn't like seeing me cry

I won't cry again
