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
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
