But a certain lu hsiang chuan

And no-one can take anyone out of my hands
bring your father, I want to talk to him
my father's all for what we decide
he won't be rude to us three
you're wrong
their manners are hereditary
his father may be ruder than him
how do you know?
Because I am his father
what his uncle has been doing is fair
why do you cover up a killer today?
No, they're killers. I've proof
this piece of fabric torn from him...
Is the same as the one worn by him

help! Let me go!
Hsiao hung, go quickly, go quickly
Help! Help!
You go quickly
bitch, where are you going
No...
Uncle, help!
Who are the trio?
They're the three tigers of kuan hsi
the three tigers of kuan hsi
they're the special guards...
Of the roc. Society
I hear that the society has recently...
Swallowed up other societies
right, they now have branches...
In the 12 cities in kiangnan
besides, their chief is cold blooded
and influential in the underworld
have we any men inside the roc society?
Yes, we have men everywhere
what will you do if I let you handle it?
Uncle, we'll kill anyone...
Who should be killed
The chief of the roc society is here
the chief is here. Make way
Where are the men?
Sir
are you the new man of ku hua hsien
no
Then why are you here?
Because I want to see you on business
I hear that you of ten come to ku hua hsien
to buy curios
so I bought it up...
To seek an audience with you
you're extraordinary. What's your surname?
I am lu
I hear that uncle sun yu's right-hand man
is lu hsiang-chuan, and not his son
I'm lu hsiang-chuan. Please wait
wait
there may be secret weapons inside
ridiculous
we all know that lu hsiang-chuan...
Has 72 secret weapons with him
he need not hide it inside the box
the position attained by the chief
is not incidental
and so has uncle sun yu...
Who has a right-hand man like you
compliments from uncle
what does uncle sun yu want in return?
He wants to use these...
To exchange for your three tigers
well, come with me
Please!
Normally, these is no admittance here
come... let me introduce you
Mr. lu
he's the last generation of nan kung...
& one of the underworld men
nan kung yuan
I've heard a lot about you
I've heard much about your brilliant past
that which is gone is always precious
life is a dream
I am now only an eater in the society
as he is a connoisseur...
I've placed my curios under his custody
come, come...
These are some of my valuables
which one do you like?
The tripod of shang; Elephant of persia
Jade of the warring states
horse of the tang dynasty
each of these is precious
well, pick two of them...
And bring them back to uncle
you're probably mistaken, sir
he wants not curios, but men...
And he means it
alright...
The men you need are all here
To seek men from roc society,
would be overdoing it a bit
I came to take the three tigers
outsiders please stay away
we're the tigers. Tell us you name...
So we know who's coming to die
you don't have to know my name...
For the one who dies is not me
You must ask me first
no need. Whoever uncle wants to kill...
Deserves to be killed
stop!
Men!
Kill them if you think you can...
Get out of here after the killing
if you think you can stop me...
Please turn round
what are you up to?
Didn't you hear what brother lu said?
So you're uncle's man
you've been here for 10 years
these years I've been spending his money
One, two, three
Mr. nan kung I've finished. Excuse me
please. Give my regards to uncle
I'll, I'll, thank you
please!
How are you going to get away?
Anyone who works for uncle is selfless
The flowers wither hastily...
Because of the cold morning & windy night
memories linger on
life's sorrow flows like a stream
Miss, miss, look!
You want to catch the butterfly?
Who are you?
I'm a passer-by who lost his way
having strayed luckily by chance
I overheard your charming poem
You understand poems?
No, but I like them
do you understand butterflies?
No, but I like them
butterflies always live in spring
their beauty goes away with spring
so they say butterflies are like love
it's beautiful but doesn't last long
if you don't catch it when it comes...
You'll lose it when spring over
well, we've talked too much
goodbye
miss, I am meng
don't tell me. I don't want to know
we're not friends
we are not, & shall never be friends
why?
For many who wanted to be friend me...
Died in the place where you stand
are you afraid of death?
No, I am not
those who go against me always die first
what is your name?
Meng sheng-hun
it's a nice name
go straight on & you'll find the way
thank you
this butterfly...
Keep it...
Or you'll never catch it when spring's over
alright, it'll remind
me of the lovely place
I passed through
The butterfly's beautiful
yeh hsiang
where did you catch it?
In the butterfly forest
have you been the butterfly forest
no
Don't drink so much
why not? I'm not going to hold the sword
a killer taking a slip once...
Will have no self-confidence
the boss said it was because...
You were in love with a girl
no, I loved a girl...
And almost got killed because of her
sheng-hun, we were adopted by kao...
Since childhood. We're like brothers
listen...
Name, family and love are not...
For people like us
with them, we can't keep cool & succeed
But those who fail can get...
What you successful people can't get
Sir, the boss wants to see you
Please!
Boss, what can I do for you?
How are things since you've seen uncle?
It's not easy to proceed
we all know it's not easy...
But for the sake of the money...
We must do it before the other society
the chief of the roc society
uncle has clashed with the roc society
and the chief of the soc. Has proceeded
Here they are
yes, these are things sent by the roc soc.
Wait, open them slowly
yes!
I wonder why the roc soc. Yielded so easily
where are you going?
To smash the roc castle
no, you mustn't fall into their trap
we must be more patient than they.
Hsiang...
Yes
what do you think their next move will be?
Their next move will be...
To wait for our next move
then we'll bury Chang & his daughter
sun chien, you'll conduct the funeral rite
tomorrow our men will pose as...
Coffin carriers, grave digger
and monks, etc
we must also find a place easily ambushed
what if they didn't show up?
With your presence, they will
Listen,
we came here to kill sun chien
outsiders please keep away
the roc society is here
we came specially to kill you
no, you came here to get killed
come on!
Sun chien...
Brother lu has planned well...
We've revenged for Chang & his daughter
the chief of the roc would be mad about it
Hsiao tieh, hsiao tieh, hsiao tieh
Sir... sir...
The most difficult enemy in the world...
Is a traitor
who picked the coffin carriers?
I did. They've been our men...
For three generations...
And are well-known for their loyalty
is there really nothing in this world...
That can't be bought with money
Uncle, feng hao is here
go and find han tang at once
yes
come back, where are you going?
I'm going to find han tang
do you know where he lives?
No, I don't
this is han tang's address
you mustn't let anyone see it
we keep his address confidential...
For they know his life means my life
Help!
Help, brother, help?
We're uncle's men who have been trapped
please offer us a hiding place
brother, I beg you
brother! Brother!
I already told you...
You can't get away
come over and get killed!
Stop, do you really want them?
Of course
well...
You've al come to kill me!
You'll wonder how we've found you
of course, someone told us...
But you'll never find out who did
who are you?
The chief of the roc society...
Wants to kill mw
we all know your life means uncle's life
fight!
So it's you
Actually, if you don't join them...
I know it's you who came to kill me
no wonder uncle said a friend's weapon...
Is the most fatal
Did he die before your arrival?
Yes, he did
anybody knows it?
No, I came direct to see you on return
See that no one knows han tang's death
I will
Mr. lu is here
You go down first
yes
Mr. lu
I got your urgent message. What happened?
Han tang has died after sun chien
there are spies in our society
yes, I heard I chien-lung betrayed us
is this true?
He even returned my dragon head decree
did he kill han tang
no, only lu hsiang-chuan and I...
Know han tan's residence
lu hsiang-chuan?
He's my godson and your nephew
I can't help suspecting him...
For many things...
Can only be done by him
then why don't you kill him?
Because I like him & hope he didn't do it
I'm still trying to spy on him
do you?
If he were not a traitor...
He would not know what's happened to han
I also know many of the roc soc.'S men...
Are gathering in tai fang inn, hangchow
so you want hsiang-chuan to find han tang
yes, we'll tail him, and on reaching there
everything will come to light
Mr. lu, you've only just returned
where are you going now?
I've to go to hangchow on urgent business
Hangchow?
Come in, please
sit down please
what will you have, sir?
Anything will do
okay, okay
han tang is having a secret talk...
With the roc soc. Men in tai fang inn
you go there and try to kill him
the food and drink are ready, sir
anyone living upstairs, sir?
No, they're all dead
why?
Because the roc men never spare anymore
Seven-star needle
black palm, the helmsman of the roc soc.
Han tang,
so you've ganged up with the roc
no, I am not han tang
han tang has been killed by us
as we expected. Uncle has suspected...
That you killed han tang
he's fallen into our trap & sold you
the lung men soc. Days are numbered!
Fight!
So the inn's become your
burial place. Fight
Uncle, luckily you arrived in time...
Or I might have been killed here
they said han tang was killed
yes, we know that
because we suspected you killed him...
You've fallen into their trap
that day we omitted to count feng hao
he wouldn't have done that
besides, he wouldn't have such guts
they said I was double-crossed
this means there are spies in our soc.
I know
I believe the spy will come out soon
you're looking for me?
It's now a golden opportunity for us
first, uncle & the roc soc.
Have suffered set backs
second,
to fight with the chief of the roc society
uncle is recruiting new fighters
he needs an outstanding man like you
but they'll probe my background
I've arranged a new identity for you
you'll be chin chung-ting
here are details of the chin clan
we already have our man there
who will contact you on your arrival
have you any questions?
No
Then I have one. When will you leave?
Now
How did you get here?
Against the Charles's wain
why?
I've come to catch butterflies in spring
do you know many died where you stand?
You told me anyone can die...
No matter where they stand
you really have guts
It's time for eating
would you come in & join me for a drink?
Would it be convenient?
We have poet li po's poems here...
But all formalities are abolished
if you're not a friend...
You can't step in
even if you've an army
thank you
please?
Waking from my drink,
I don't know where I am
life's partings.
What'll happen next year?
I don't know where I shall be next year
are you a man of the underworld?
As you can see, I am a killer
no wonder you're taking life lightly
formerly, I also had a killer friend...
Who liked poems
on finding out that, father had him killed
over this I quarrelled with him & moved out
who's your father?
You don't have to know
he no longer treats me as his daughter
why did you come to see me today?
I was passing through
trying to kill someone
kill? Are you not afraid of death?
I've been used to it from childhood
but now I hope I may live on
why?
Because I love the butterflies here
a colleague told me...
That love is not for people...
In our line of profession
we go out every morning...
Without knowing whether we may return
It's not early. I must be off
Thank you for the hospitality. Miss
Mr. meng, spring's particularly long here
come again to catch butterflies on return
I really hope I can return...
But don't wait when spring's over
goodbye. Thanks for the trouble
may I know your name?
I am hsiao tieh
why do you offer yourself to me?
I'm not offering myself to anyone
I only want to see who can be my friend
you or the chief of the rocs
hsiang chuan, have you seen him before?
He was here on your birthday
what is his name?
I forget
how can you forget?
I didn't try to remember it...
Because I knew he didn't use his true name
when he came here
You're extraordinary
so are you
what's your real name?
A name may be false, but not a friend
since I came to make friends with you...
Why ask my name?
How are we going to address you then?
His name is chin chung-ting
chin chung-ting
what's your relationship with chin hu-hua
the master of the biggest chin clan?
He is my uncle
have you seen him recently
yes
how's his asthma?
He has no asthma
Hsiang chuan
yes
prepare a room for him
yes, uncle
We have our man there...
Who'll contact you on your arrival
meng sheng-hun
close the door...
And blow out the candle
Why didn't you come here before now?
You should have come two weeks age
lu man-tien
luckily I did the asking today
uncle's best friend has betrayed him
to fly high...
One must have no scruple
when are you going to do it?
At an appropriate moment
uncle never gives others any chance
you mustn't wait
when do you want me to do it?
Tomorrow
tomorrow?
Yes, tomorrow night
uncle lives alone in a garden
the quietest time in lung men castle...
Is in the evening...
When everyone's bathing or retiring...
After a hard day's work...
And entry's not allowed to his garden
he usually takes a nap before dinner
only when he's taking a nap...
Does he take off his bullet-proof gauze
only then can your sword Pierce his heart
how am I going to enter his garden?
I've already dug a tunnel for you...
Under the flower tree
are there any traps in the garden?
Yes, but I can stop them
what's my chance of success?
At least 70%. Enough?
Yes, usually 50% is enough
I'll wait for your good news tomorrow
good
Yeh hsiang, go and kill uncle at once
why?
I know meng sheng-hun passed through...
Butterfly forest before going to lung men
you know who lives in butterfly forest?
Yes, uncle's daughter, hsiao tieh
suppose meng should love hsiao tieh
he should not kill uncle
but we got an order to kill him
I already told him that love is not...
For us in this line of profession
yeh hsiang, you go and kill uncle
you should have killed him long ago
3 years ago you were in butterfly forest...
And you fell in love with...
A pretty girl because of her poems
she's hsiao tieh,
uncle's only daughter
the girl also loved you...
But when this was known to uncle...
He couldn't tolerate it
so he sent han tang to kill you
you two fought for three days & nights
finally you were beaten by han tang...
But the latter spared you
since then, you became a drunkard...
And have been drinking for these 3 years
it was uncle who brought you to this state
you should kill him in retaliation
Look at my hands. Can they kill uncle?
Besides, I can't kill hsiao tieh's father
hell with hsiao tieh
we got girls here?
I can satisfy men better than any girls
come, take off your pants!
I want you to know I'm a real woman...
And no one can match me
boss, what's the matter with you?
What I thought you only can't kill...
But you can't fulfil this
don't come here
don't play horse. I'll use my hands
come, it's better than you use your hands
hell with you, bitch. Get out
get out, get out
yeh hsiang, anyway. I want you to kill...
Uncle tomorrow evening before meng does...
Or you'll not live
get away, what's there to see?
Get out
tomorrow evening
This is my room
the camellia here is growing well
it looks exceptionally beautiful today
to see the flowers,
I didn't take a nap
well, why do you come here?
I was moving around...
And came here without knowing it
did hsiang chuan tell you...
That you may move freely in the castle...
But not in this garden
if I had taken a nap here...
As I usually did at this hour...
You might have killed me, if you wanted to
doctor?
Men
These here are my special traps
tell lu to bring the man who shook the bell
yes
is the bell-man your friend?
Only the doctor could be permitted to shake
there're no families in this vicinity...
& an ordinary doctor will not come here
besides, the sound of the bell seems...
To herald the arrival of a killer
come with me, if you don't believe
Uncle, the doctor is here
you've come the right time
we need a doctor
Any patients here?
No
Fortunately, for I can't give treatment
what can you do then?
I can kill
who do you want to kill?
You, of course
why?
Because I heard no one can kill you
men
have you heard...
That I have a bullet-proof garment
now I see it
I never imagined I can't kill you either
Friend, what are you risking your life for?
Nonsense
Who are you?
Do you remember that for your daughter...
You asked han tang to kill yeh hsiang
so it was you, and you didn't die
han tang may not have killed me...
But from that day I've become a dead body
You came to kill me in revenge?
I want to kill you before another does
I also do it for hsiao tieh's sake
go back, you'll get killed trying to kill
I've been fed up with life these years
as tieh's taken care of,
I'll die peacefully
Let him die if he's sick of living. Hsiang
yes
take him out
yes
You didn't cry?
Why should I cry?
He risked his life telling you about tieh
he wanted to kill me before you did
how do you know?
I've someone taking care of hsiao tieh
I know everything about her
why didn't you kill me yesterday?
Maybe for the sake of hsiao tieh
maybe I want to learn from you...
Who the ringleader is
I won't tell you
you need not tell me
I'll know in a minute
uncle, lu man-tien has committed suicide
If you don't die, I have to die
He can't be the ringleader
he was poisoned
how do you know?
If not, he could have run away
but the one hiding should have come out
strangely...
The only one I can trust now...
Is you who came to kill me
sometimes one trusts an enemy...
More than a friend
you know who I am
I don't. I only know in recent years...
There has been a famous killer...
Who has killed many master swordsmen
my name is meng sheng-hun
uncle, the men you want are all here
don't break the news of lu man-tien's death
tomorrow morning,
I'll attack roc castle
one can easily fail...
In a happy moment
tonight the chief of the roc would feel...
Lu man-tien has made it
he'll be in triumph tomorrow morning
go and do something urgent for me
I've a crack unit with hsiao tieh
bring it back at once from the forest
this is a secret mandate
sun nan
yes
send four guards to escort Mr. chin
yes
feng hao
yes
you gather the four groups of men at once
and arm them
yes
hsiang chuan
yes
close the door behind you
yes
Come with me
I'll take you to a place...
You've never been to before
Come in
This box contains a list...
Showing the 380 branches of our society
the map contains the addresses...
Of our 380 branches
on our business activities and assets...
In different parts of the country
the other side shows the persons in charge
some are important secret orders
this room contains everything...
Belonging to our society
only the boss can enter it
then why do you bring me here?
Tomorrow morning I'll attack roc castle
I'll certainly return in triumph
but one can never tell
I want to make prior arrangements
what is it?
Did father ask you to
come for the soldiers?
Yes, where are they?
Since I left home, I've not seen father
how could he have stationed soldiers here?
It's incredible. He gave me 2 sealed orders
open them and see
Things are ready outside?
Yes
You, you...
I used the seven-star needle
you told me there's no remedy for it
I had thought only you could have done it
but I dared not believe it was you
you made two mistakes in your life
first, you suspected me,
then trusted me
second, you knew it & didn't trust yourself
hsiang-chuan, have I mistreated you?
No, but so long as you're alive...
I cannot take your place
it seems you collaborated
with the roc chief
only a strong enemy like him...
Can frighten you
you've put your trust in me only...
Because your son and friends...
Have fallen one after another
otherwise, you wouldn't have...
Given me the decree tonight, would you?
Given me the decree tonight, would you?
What about sun chien and han tang?
Who else could have killed them...
If not me?
Who else could've killed han behind backs?
What about lu man-tien, your uncle?
He could have been spared...
If you hadn't used meng sheng-hun
you also killed many roc men in the inn
I had to do that...
To win your confidence
it seems you've planned well
of course,
otherwise I could not kill you
are you sure you can kill me?
Absolutely...
You can't move in your present state
well, my last words to you are...
Tomorrow's attack of the rocs is a fake
I gave you the decree only to test you out
never reveal all your secrets
you must keep something from others...
To avoid getting killed...
At the crucial moment
Pull the rope
Uncle, you can't go far...
After you've been hit by my needle
How's Mr. lu?
Send someone to dig the canal
yes
send someone to the forest to kill meng
yes
I've searched, sir
but there's none inside
let's ask the family there
go
Old pal, old pal...
Do you know where the girl is...
In the butterfly forest?
How should I know?
Thank you
don't mention it
Chase!
The men in the forest have disappeared
something must have happened to uncle
prepare the coach quickly
You're ma fang-chung
you're ma fang-chung?
You're sun chu
yes, come down with me
okay
Over there
Quick, support him. Close the door quickly
fang-chung, is the coach ready?
It's been ready for over 10 years
sun chu,
go & see if there's anyone outside
yes
who did it?
Lu hsiang-chuan
really?
Uncle, there's no one outside
remember,
you must stop at the shop in town
and enquire of them about the way
I know
uncle, we shall never meet again
thanks for saving my life 15 years ago
Speak no more of it
brother ma, I'll count on you
don't worry, brother
thank you
Is this man reliable?
Of course, he waited for me in the canal...
For 15 years
do you think he is reliable?
How are things with the well?
Daddy, daddy
they're your kids
one is 8 and the other is 6 years old
I saved fang-chung's life...
And you saved my life
I'll repay you the rest of my life
Yu hsia,
do you remember I was sentenced...
To death for killing a mandarin...
& was rescued by uncle 18 years ago?
I've been grateful to him...
For saving my husband
but...
Don't let anyone know about uncle
yu hsia, loyalty's precious in life
let's sacrifice the kids. Come
have some more
it's really nice!
Quiet. Ma will give you something to eat
really? What is it?
Quiet! Listen to papa and mama!
Finish it, finish quickly
I'll give you something to eat again
I want some more
eat congee!
Congee, it's nice
your bowl's bigger. I want yours
don't
I must
mama gave it to me
I am older than you
quiet, quiet! Come, eat quickly!
After eating, papa will take you somewhere
where?
A faraway and beautiful place
on getting there,
our family will never part again
I'll take you there
eat. Have one more mouthful
and you too
Stop
Search
yes
Mr. lu, there are traces of a coach
get the horse

Boss, someone in my coach is hurt
will you give me some water please?
Okay
Thank you, thank you
uncle, you drink first. We'll leave at once
Uncle, I've finished the thing you want
I've completed the journey you want me to
Are you sure there's someone in the coach?
Yes. The driver even brought him water
Mr. lu, we've searched everywhere
we can't go wrong
I won't set my mind at ease...
Unless I find his body
who's inside?
Someone who's looking for you
Why are you also here?
You promised that after uncle's dead...
You'll give me the title deed...
For the forest and 100,000 taels
but uncle was not killed by
meng sheng-hun
you didn't want him to kill uncle
you only used him to puzzle uncle
because you know only one man
can kill him
you know everything
yes,
we're birds of the same feather
aren't you afraid I may not give you?
No
Because only I know you killed uncle...
And only I know what you want
Come, come quickly
coming, coming
Did father say this is the place?
Yes
run. Go to peh sheng temple
& burn 3 candles there
you'll be contacted
white candle
miss, look
Let me do it
Look
I hsien-lung
uncle I
he betrayed uncle several months ago
wait
meng sheng-hun, if I betrayed uncle...
Would I have come to meet you here?
All this was uncle's plan
you probably know that uncle always...
Make prior arrangements for everything
uncle I, where is my father now?
Your father told me when we wear in white
it means the society's in trouble
let's arm ourselves & wait for him here
then he's still
don't worry. No one can kill him
not even you
I only said there's no
remedy for the needle
yet one with internal control...
May be exempt from the poison
The day's coming soon
Wang wei, have you
considered if our deal...
With the roc society's to our advantage?
Sir, the 600% profit-sharing...
Is to our advantage
lu shan
yes
have our men in the north had any news...
About I hsien-lung & meng sheng-hun?
No, we only heard...
They appeared for a while in shantung
and then disappeared
but sooner or later they'll come to us
right.
When will the chief of the roc arrive?
Feng hao's waiting for him outside
he will be here at noon
there are guests
wait
so it's the chief of the roc society
the chief of the roc society's here
Sir, please!
There must be more than one man inside
who are you?
I fu
meng sheng-hun
and you?
Impossible, you couldn't have lived!
I told you nothing's absolute
there's always another possibility
you're wrong
without finding your body...
I'll always wait for you
You've taught me to let
others under-rate you
but never under-rate others
now it's your mistake
fight
Feng hao, bring the men outside
yes
no need
Men
Uncle, the men outside have either died...
Or defected. Now we're the only ones...
Inside and outside the lung men society
lu, you've followed me many years
probably you've not learned this manoeuvre
fight
rattan shield. The tunnel
So you're here
I heard you're the most famous killer
see if you can kill me
do you think I stand any chance?
Not the slightest chance...
For I have never been defeated
I've never met one I can't kill either
You're quiet nimble
You've lived up to your name
you're not bad also
you forget what I wear
It's bullet-proof...
But may be hurt by internal skill
you're the only man here
you want to wait for death or what
Lu hsiang-chuan is lu hsiang-chuan
Hsiang-chuan, what is it?
Close the door quickly
where are the gold and notes?
The 200,000 taels of gold and $500,000...
Are in the box in the back room
and the horse?
In the backyard
uncle is right
one must prepare for anything
any wine?
Here
Hsia ching, do you remember our youth?
We used to starve and steal together
and pass many cold nights
and you've support me for over 20 years
everyone must have a true friend...
So that when fate's against him...
He will not feel lonely
no, men like you have no friend
You think of getting away again
I've chosen this last place for you
hsia ching, you...
I learned it from you
so can I betray you
I have already poisoned it
you've also drunk the wine
but it's not the same wine
You said yourself what I want to kill...
Should be killed and can be killed
Master, master
miss is here
sheng-hun, come with me
Sheng-hun, you may go with hsiao tieh
why?
If you stay, you may kill me some day...
For there's always a power struggle
alright. You can go now
yes
Where there are swords, there are killings
It seems the ancients made swords...
For the sake of power struggle
---
Did you bring me here?
I want to ask you a question - what is it?
Are you swordsman li who shook 9 states?
Yes, I am
did you smash three escort bureau...
And killed 108 men in one night?
Who are you?
I am meng sheng-hun
I ask you to come here
because I was paid to kill you
Killers are like shooting stars
they appear in brilliance
and vanish in no time
and besides they've no name
I can't hold on
It's really killing
Killing who?
The list is on the table
Quick, quick, quick!
They still don't know...
Who killed swordsman li kuang
a killer has no life
It's another life?
We all know that money can buy anything...
Here, including lives
why me again?
Who else, if not you?
Lao erh, yeh hsiang
yeh, the drunkard knows only drinking
open it and see
uncle
yes, he's sun yu of the lung men society...
The biggest of its kind in the underworld
their castle I ching lung mountain...
With an area of 300 li has thousands of men
he has a son called sun chien...
Who's dauntless with excellent martial arts
and who smashed three camps in on night
without an opponent
his right-hand man is not his son...
But a certain lu hsiang chuan
who's highly skilled with 72 secret weapons
besides, sun has a mysterious killer...
Han tang who has never come out
in the open
no-one knows where he is...
But everybody knows he can kill anyone
and who else?
Next month is sun's 50th birthday
you can go and see for yourself then
Navigator lu man-tien is here
very well
Mr. lu
where's Mr. sun?
He's inside with brother han
han tang is also here
helmsman I chien-lung is here
hope you're all getting along well
it's another year
of course,
I come from south; You from north
help, help!
What is it?
Sun chien, help me, help me
what is it, hsiao tieh?
He killed his master's whole family
no, no, I didn't
hsiao tieh, don't be afraid
no one will hurt you
you shouldn't say so
why not?
Because wherever he goes...
We'll take him away
you can't, hsiao tieh's my friend...
And no-one can take anyone out of my hands
bring your father, I want to talk to him
my father's all for what we decide
he won't be rude to us three
you're wrong
their manners are hereditary
his father may be ruder than him
how do you know?
Because I am his father
what his uncle has been doing is fair
why do you cover up a killer today?
No, they're killers. I've proof
this piece of fabric torn from him...
Is the same as the one worn by him
Whoever offends uncle shall be killed
Listen, all of you...
Whoever wants to kill uncle
must kill me first
uncle's here. He'll arbitrate on anything
you'll stay with us here
hsiang chuan
yes
you make arrangements for him
yes, uncle
Lao huang of the Willow village said...
Bandits have set fire there
sun chien
yes
go & eliminate them tomorrow
yes, father
help! Let me go!
Hsiao hung, go quickly, go quickly
Help! Help!
You go quickly
bitch, where are you going
No...
Uncle, help!
Who are the trio?
They're the three tigers of kuan hsi
the three tigers of kuan hsi
they're the special guards...
Of the roc. Society
I hear that the society has recently...
Swallowed up other societies
right, they now have branches...
In the 12 cities in kiangnan
besides, their chief is cold blooded
and influential in the underworld
have we any men inside the roc society?
Yes, we have men everywhere
what will you do if I let you handle it?
Uncle, we'll kill anyone...
Who should be killed
The chief of the roc society is here
the chief is here. Make way
Where are the men?
Sir
are you the new man of ku hua hsien
no
Then why are you here?
Because I want to see you on business
I hear that you of ten come to ku hua hsien
to buy curios
so I bought it up...
To seek an audience with you
you're extraordinary. What's your surname?
I am lu
I hear that uncle sun yu's right-hand man
is lu hsiang-chuan, and not his son
I'm lu hsiang-chuan. Please wait
wait
there may be secret weapons inside
ridiculous
we all know that lu hsiang-chuan...
Has 72 secret weapons with him
he need not hide it inside the box
the position attained by the chief
is not incidental
and so has uncle sun yu...
Who has a right-hand man like you
compliments from uncle
what does uncle sun yu want in return?
He wants to use these...
To exchange for your three tigers
well, come with me
Please!
Normally, these is no admittance here
come... let me introduce you
Mr. lu
he's the last generation of nan kung...
& one of the underworld men
nan kung yuan
I've heard a lot about you
I've heard much about your brilliant past
that which is gone is always precious
life is a dream
I am now only an eater in the society
as he is a connoisseur...
I've placed my curios under his custody
come, come...
These are some of my valuables
which one do you like?
The tripod of shang; Elephant of persia
Jade of the warring states
horse of the tang dynasty
each of these is precious
well, pick two of them...
And bring them back to uncle
you're probably mistaken, sir
he wants not curios, but men...
And he means it
alright...
The men you need are all here
To seek men from roc society,
would be overdoing it a bit
I came to take the three tigers
outsiders please stay away
we're the tigers. Tell us you name...
So we know who's coming to die
you don't have to know my name...
For the one who dies is not me
You must ask me first
no need. Whoever uncle wants to kill...
Deserves to be killed
stop!
Men!
Kill them if you think you can...
Get out of here after the killing
if you think you can stop me...
Please turn round
what are you up to?
Didn't you hear what brother lu said?
So you're uncle's man
you've been here for 10 years
these years I've been spending his money
One, two, three
Mr. nan kung I've finished. Excuse me
please. Give my regards to uncle
I'll, I'll, thank you
please!
How are you going to get away?
Anyone who works for uncle is selfless
The flowers wither hastily...
Because of the cold morning & windy night
memories linger on
life's sorrow flows like a stream
Miss, miss, look!
You want to catch the butterfly?
Who are you?
I'm a passer-by who lost his way
having strayed luckily by chance
I overheard your charming poem
You understand poems?
No, but I like them
do you understand butterflies?
No, but I like them
butterflies always live in spring
their beauty goes away with spring
so they say butterflies are like love
it's beautiful but doesn't last long
if you don't catch it when it comes...
You'll lose it when spring over
well, we've talked too much
goodbye
miss, I am meng
don't tell me. I don't want to know
we're not friends
we are not, & shall never be friends
why?
For many who wanted to be friend me...
Died in the place where you stand
are you afraid of death?
No, I am not
those who go against me always die first
what is your name?
Meng sheng-hun
it's a nice name
go straight on & you'll find the way
thank you
this butterfly...
Keep it...
Or you'll never catch it when spring's over
alright, it'll remind
me of the lovely place
I passed through
The butterfly's beautiful
yeh hsiang
where did you catch it?
In the butterfly forest
have you been the butterfly forest
no
Don't drink so much
why not? I'm not going to hold the sword
a killer taking a slip once...
Will have no self-confidence
the boss said it was because...
You were in love with a girl
no, I loved a girl...
And almost got killed because of her
sheng-hun, we were adopted by kao...
Since childhood. We're like brothers
listen...
Name, family and love are not...
For people like us
with them, we can't keep cool & succeed
But those who fail can get...
What you successful people can't get
Sir, the boss wants to see you
Please!
Boss, what can I do for you?
How are things since you've seen uncle?
It's not easy to proceed
we all know it's not easy...
But for the sake of the money...
We must do it before the other society
the chief of the roc society
uncle has clashed with the roc society
and the chief of the soc. Has proceeded
Here they are
yes, these are things sent by the roc soc.
Wait, open them slowly
yes!
I wonder why the roc soc. Yielded so easily
where are you going?
To smash the roc castle
no, you mustn't fall into their trap
we must be more patient than they.
Hsiang...
Yes
what do you think their next move will be?
Their next move will be...
To wait for our next move
then we'll bury Chang & his daughter
sun chien, you'll conduct the funeral rite
tomorrow our men will pose as...
Coffin carriers, grave digger
and monks, etc
we must also find a place easily ambushed
what if they didn't show up?
With your presence, they will
Listen,
we came here to kill sun chien
outsiders please keep away
the roc society is here
we came specially to kill you
no, you came here to get killed
come on!
Sun chien...
Brother lu has planned well...
We've revenged for Chang & his daughter
the chief of the roc would be mad about it
Hsiao tieh, hsiao tieh, hsiao tieh
Sir... sir...
The most difficult enemy in the world...
Is a traitor
who picked the coffin carriers?
I did. They've been our men...
For three generations...
And are well-known for their loyalty
is there really nothing in this world...
That can't be bought with money
Uncle, feng hao is here
go and find han tang at once
yes
come back, where are you going?
I'm going to find han tang
do you know where he lives?
No, I don't
this is han tang's address
you mustn't let anyone see it
we keep his address confidential...
For they know his life means my life
Help!
Help, brother, help?
We're uncle's men who have been trapped
please offer us a hiding place
brother, I beg you
brother! Brother!
I already told you...
You can't get away
come over and get killed!
Stop, do you really want them?
Of course
well...
You've al come to kill me!
You'll wonder how we've found you
of course, someone told us...
But you'll never find out who did
who are you?
The chief of the roc society...
Wants to kill mw
we all know your life means uncle's life
fight!
So it's you
Actually, if you don't join them...
I know it's you who came to kill me
no wonder uncle said a friend's weapon...
Is the most fatal
Did he die before your arrival?
Yes, he did
anybody knows it?
No, I came direct to see you on return
See that no one knows han tang's death
I will
Mr. lu is here
You go down first
yes
Mr. lu
I got your urgent message. What happened?
Han tang has died after sun chien
there are spies in our society
yes, I heard I chien-lung betrayed us
is this true?
He even returned my dragon head decree
did he kill han tang
no, only lu hsiang-chuan and I...
Know han tan's residence
lu hsiang-chuan?
He's my godson and your nephew
I can't help suspecting him...
For many things...
Can only be done by him
then why don't you kill him?
Because I like him & hope he didn't do it
I'm still trying to spy on him
do you?
If he were not a traitor...
He would not know what's happened to han
I also know many of the roc soc.'S men...
Are gathering in tai fang inn, hangchow
so you want hsiang-chuan to find han tang
yes, we'll tail him, and on reaching there
everything will come to light
Mr. lu, you've only just returned
where are you going now?
I've to go to hangchow on urgent business
Hangchow?
Come in, please
sit down please
what will you have, sir?
Anything will do
okay, okay
han tang is having a secret talk...
With the roc soc. Men in tai fang inn
you go there and try to kill him
the food and drink are ready, sir
anyone living upstairs, sir?
No, they're all dead
why?
Because the roc men never spare anymore
Seven-star needle
black palm, the helmsman of the roc soc.
Han tang,
so you've ganged up with the roc
no, I am not han tang
han tang has been killed by us
as we expected. Uncle has suspected...
That you killed han tang
he's fallen into our trap & sold you
the lung men soc. Days are numbered!
Fight!
So the inn's become your
burial place. Fight
Uncle, luckily you arrived in time...
Or I might have been killed here
they said han tang was killed
yes, we know that
because we suspected you killed him...
You've fallen into their trap
that day we omitted to count feng hao
he wouldn't have done that
besides, he wouldn't have such guts
they said I was double-crossed
this means there are spies in our soc.
I know
I believe the spy will come out soon
you're looking for me?
It's now a golden opportunity for us
first, uncle & the roc soc.
Have suffered set backs
second,
to fight with the chief of the roc society
uncle is recruiting new fighters
he needs an outstanding man like you
but they'll probe my background
I've arranged a new identity for you
you'll be chin chung-ting
here are details of the chin clan
we already have our man there
who will contact you on your arrival
have you any questions?
No
Then I have one. When will you leave?
Now
How did you get here?
Against the Charles's wain
why?
I've come to catch butterflies in spring
do you know many died where you stand?
You told me anyone can die...
No matter where they stand
you really have guts
It's time for eating
would you come in & join me for a drink?
Would it be convenient?
We have poet li po's poems here...
But all formalities are abolished
if you're not a friend...
You can't step in
even if you've an army
thank you
please?
Waking from my drink,
I don't know where I am
life's partings.
What'll happen next year?
I don't know where I shall be next year
are you a man of the underworld?
As you can see, I am a killer
no wonder you're taking life lightly
formerly, I also had a killer friend...
Who liked poems
on finding out that, father had him killed
over this I quarrelled with him & moved out
who's your father?
You don't have to know
he no longer treats me as his daughter
why did you come to see me today?
I was passing through
trying to kill someone
kill? Are you not afraid of death?
I've been used to it from childhood
but now I hope I may live on
why?
Because I love the butterflies here
a colleague told me...
That love is not for people...
In our line of profession
we go out every morning...
Without knowing whether we may return
It's not early. I must be off
Thank you for the hospitality. Miss
Mr. meng, spring's particularly long here
come again to catch butterflies on return
I really hope I can return...
But don't wait when spring's over
goodbye. Thanks for the trouble
may I know your name?
I am hsiao tieh
why do you offer yourself to me?
I'm not offering myself to anyone
I only want to see who can be my friend
you or the chief of the rocs
hsiang chuan, have you seen him before?
He was here on your birthday
what is his name?
I forget
how can you forget?
I didn't try to remember it...
Because I knew he didn't use his true name
when he came here
You're extraordinary
so are you
what's your real name?
A name may be false, but not a friend
since I came to make friends with you...
Why ask my name?
How are we going to address you then?
His name is chin chung-ting
chin chung-ting
what's your relationship with chin hu-hua
the master of the biggest chin clan?
He is my uncle
have you seen him recently
yes
how's his asthma?
He has no asthma
Hsiang chuan
yes
prepare a room for him
yes, uncle
We have our man there...
Who'll contact you on your arrival
meng sheng-hun
close the door...
And blow out the candle
Why didn't you come here before now?
You should have come two weeks age
lu man-tien
luckily I did the asking today
uncle's best friend has betrayed him
to fly high...
One must have no scruple
when are you going to do it?
At an appropriate moment
uncle never gives others any chance
you mustn't wait
when do you want me to do it?
Tomorrow
tomorrow?
Yes, tomorrow night
uncle lives alone in a garden
the quietest time in lung men castle...
Is in the evening...
When everyone's bathing or retiring...
After a hard day's work...
And entry's not allowed to his garden
he usually takes a nap before dinner
only when he's taking a nap...
Does he take off his bullet-proof gauze
only then can your sword Pierce his heart
how am I going to enter his garden?
I've already dug a tunnel for you...
Under the flower tree
are there any traps in the garden?
Yes, but I can stop them
what's my chance of success?
At least 70%. Enough?
Yes, usually 50% is enough
I'll wait for your good news tomorrow
good
Yeh hsiang, go and kill uncle at once
why?
I know meng sheng-hun passed through...
Butterfly forest before going to lung men
you know who lives in butterfly forest?
Yes, uncle's daughter, hsiao tieh
suppose meng should love hsiao tieh
he should not kill uncle
but we got an order to kill him
I already told him that love is not...
For us in this line of profession
yeh hsiang, you go and kill uncle
you should have killed him long ago
3 years ago you were in butterfly forest...
And you fell in love with...
A pretty girl because of her poems
she's hsiao tieh,
uncle's only daughter
the girl also loved you...
But when this was known to uncle...
He couldn't tolerate it
so he sent han tang to kill you
you two fought for three days & nights
finally you were beaten by han tang...
But the latter spared you
since then, you became a drunkard...
And have been drinking for these 3 years
it was uncle who brought you to this state
you should kill him in retaliation
Look at my hands. Can they kill uncle?
Besides, I can't kill hsiao tieh's father
hell with hsiao tieh
we got girls here?
I can satisfy men better than any girls
come, take off your pants!
I want you to know I'm a real woman...
And no one can match me
boss, what's the matter with you?
What I thought you only can't kill...
But you can't fulfil this
don't come here
don't play horse. I'll use my hands
come, it's better than you use your hands
hell with you, bitch. Get out
get out, get out
yeh hsiang, anyway. I want you to kill...
Uncle tomorrow evening before meng does...
Or you'll not live
get away, what's there to see?
Get out
tomorrow evening
This is my room
the camellia here is growing well
it looks exceptionally beautiful today
to see the flowers,
I didn't take a nap
well, why do you come here?
I was moving around...
And came here without knowing it
did hsiang chuan tell you...
That you may move freely in the castle...
But not in this garden
if I had taken a nap here...
As I usually did at this hour...
You might have killed me, if you wanted to
doctor?
Men
These here are my special traps
tell lu to bring the man who shook the bell
yes
is the bell-man your friend?
Only the doctor could be permitted to shake
there're no families in this vicinity...
& an ordinary doctor will not come here
besides, the sound of the bell seems...
To herald the arrival of a killer
come with me, if you don't believe
Uncle, the doctor is here
you've come the right time
we need a doctor
Any patients here?
No
Fortunately, for I can't give treatment
what can you do then?
I can kill
who do you want to kill?
You, of course
why?
Because I heard no one can kill you
men
have you heard...
That I have a bullet-proof garment
now I see it
I never imagined I can't kill you either
Friend, what are you risking your life for?
Nonsense
Who are you?
Do you remember that for your daughter...
You asked han tang to kill yeh hsiang
so it was you, and you didn't die
han tang may not have killed me...
But from that day I've become a dead body
You came to kill me in revenge?
I want to kill you before another does
I also do it for hsiao tieh's sake
go back, you'll get killed trying to kill
I've been fed up with life these years
as tieh's taken care of,
I'll die peacefully
Let him die if he's sick of living. Hsiang
yes
take him out
yes
You didn't cry?
Why should I cry?
He risked his life telling you about tieh
he wanted to kill me before you did
how do you know?
I've someone taking care of hsiao tieh
I know everything about her
why didn't you kill me yesterday?
Maybe for the sake of hsiao tieh
maybe I want to learn from you...
Who the ringleader is
I won't tell you
you need not tell me
I'll know in a minute
uncle, lu man-tien has committed suicide
If you don't die, I have to die
He can't be the ringleader
he was poisoned
how do you know?
If not, he could have run away
but the one hiding should have come out
strangely...
The only one I can trust now...
Is you who came to kill me
sometimes one trusts an enemy...
More than a friend
you know who I am
I don't. I only know in recent years...
There has been a famous killer...
Who has killed many master swordsmen
my name is meng sheng-hun
uncle, the men you want are all here
don't break the news of lu man-tien's death
tomorrow morning,
I'll attack roc castle
one can easily fail...
In a happy moment
tonight the chief of the roc would feel...
Lu man-tien has made it
he'll be in triumph tomorrow morning
go and do something urgent for me
I've a crack unit with hsiao tieh
bring it back at once from the forest
this is a secret mandate
sun nan
yes
send four guards to escort Mr. chin
yes
feng hao
yes
you gather the four groups of men at once
and arm them
yes
hsiang chuan
yes
close the door behind you
yes
Come with me
I'll take you to a place...
You've never been to before
Come in
This box contains a list...
Showing the 380 branches of our society
the map contains the addresses...
Of our 380 branches
on our business activities and assets...
In different parts of the country
the other side shows the persons in charge
some are important secret orders
this room contains everything...
Belonging to our society
only the boss can enter it
then why do you bring me here?
Tomorrow morning I'll attack roc castle
I'll certainly return in triumph
but one can never tell
I want to make prior arrangements
what is it?
Did father ask you to
come for the soldiers?
Yes, where are they?
Since I left home, I've not seen father
how could he have stationed soldiers here?
It's incredible. He gave me 2 sealed orders
open them and see
Things are ready outside?
Yes
You, you...
I used the seven-star needle
you told me there's no remedy for it
I had thought only you could have done it
but I dared not believe it was you
you made two mistakes in your life
first, you suspected me,
then trusted me
second, you knew it & didn't trust yourself
hsiang-chuan, have I mistreated you?
No, but so long as you're alive...
I cannot take your place
it seems you collaborated
with the roc chief
only a strong enemy like him...
Can frighten you
you've put your trust in me only...
Because your son and friends...
Have fallen one after another
otherwise, you wouldn't have...
Given me the decree tonight, would you?
Given me the decree tonight, would you?
What about sun chien and han tang?
Who else could have killed them...
If not me?
Who else could've killed han behind backs?
What about lu man-tien, your uncle?
He could have been spared...
If you hadn't used meng sheng-hun
you also killed many roc men in the inn
I had to do that...
To win your confidence
it seems you've planned well
of course,
otherwise I could not kill you
are you sure you can kill me?
Absolutely...
You can't move in your present state
well, my last words to you are...
Tomorrow's attack of the rocs is a fake
I gave you the decree only to test you out
never reveal all your secrets
you must keep something from others...
To avoid getting killed...
At the crucial moment
Pull the rope
Uncle, you can't go far...
After you've been hit by my needle
How's Mr. lu?
Send someone to dig the canal
yes
send someone to the forest to kill meng
yes
I've searched, sir
but there's none inside
let's ask the family there
go
Old pal, old pal...
Do you know where the girl is...
In the butterfly forest?
How should I know?
Thank you
don't mention it
Chase!
The men in the forest have disappeared
something must have happened to uncle
prepare the coach quickly
You're ma fang-chung
you're ma fang-chung?
You're sun chu
yes, come down with me
okay
Over there
Quick, support him. Close the door quickly
fang-chung, is the coach ready?
It's been ready for over 10 years
sun chu,
go & see if there's anyone outside
yes
who did it?
Lu hsiang-chuan
really?
Uncle, there's no one outside
remember,
you must stop at the shop in town
and enquire of them about the way
I know
uncle, we shall never meet again
thanks for saving my life 15 years ago
Speak no more of it
brother ma, I'll count on you
don't worry, brother
thank you
Is this man reliable?
Of course, he waited for me in the canal...
For 15 years
do you think he is reliable?
How are things with the well?
Daddy, daddy
they're your kids
one is 8 and the other is 6 years old
I saved fang-chung's life...
And you saved my life
I'll repay you the rest of my life
Yu hsia,
do you remember I was sentenced...
To death for killing a mandarin...
& was rescued by uncle 18 years ago?
I've been grateful to him...
For saving my husband
but...
Don't let anyone know about uncle
yu hsia, loyalty's precious in life
let's sacrifice the kids. Come
have some more
it's really nice!
Quiet. Ma will give you something to eat
really? What is it?
Quiet! Listen to papa and mama!
Finish it, finish quickly
I'll give you something to eat again
I want some more
eat congee!
Congee, it's nice
your bowl's bigger. I want yours
don't
I must
mama gave it to me
I am older than you
quiet, quiet! Come, eat quickly!
After eating, papa will take you somewhere
where?
A faraway and beautiful place
on getting there,
our family will never part again
I'll take you there
eat. Have one more mouthful
and you too
Stop
Search
yes
Mr. lu, there are traces of a coach
get the horse
yes
Boss, someone in my coach is hurt
will you give me some water please?
Okay
Thank you, thank you
uncle, you drink first. We'll leave at once
Uncle, I've finished the thing you want
I've completed the journey you want me to
Are you sure there's someone in the coach?
Yes. The driver even brought him water
Mr. lu, we've searched everywhere
we can't go wrong
I won't set my mind at ease...
Unless I find his body
who's inside?
Someone who's looking for you
Why are you also here?
You promised that after uncle's dead...
You'll give me the title deed...
For the forest and 100,000 taels
but uncle was not killed by
meng sheng-hun
you didn't want him to kill uncle
you only used him to puzzle uncle
because you know only one man
can kill him
you know everything
yes,
we're birds of the same feather
aren't you afraid I may not give you?
No
Because only I know you killed uncle...
And only I know what you want
Come, come quickly
coming, coming
Did father say this is the place?
Yes
run. Go to peh sheng temple
& burn 3 candles there
you'll be contacted
white candle
miss, look
Let me do it
Look
I hsien-lung
uncle I
he betrayed uncle several months ago
wait
meng sheng-hun, if I betrayed uncle...
Would I have come to meet you here?
All this was uncle's plan
you probably know that uncle always...
Make prior arrangements for everything
uncle I, where is my father now?
Your father told me when we wear in white
it means the society's in trouble
let's arm ourselves & wait for him here
then he's still
don't worry. No one can kill him
not even you
I only said there's no
remedy for the needle
yet one with internal control...
May be exempt from the poison
The day's coming soon
Wang wei, have you
considered if our deal...
With the roc society's to our advantage?
Sir, the 600% profit-sharing...
Is to our advantage
lu shan
yes
have our men in the north had any news...
About I hsien-lung & meng sheng-hun?
No, we only heard...
They appeared for a while in shantung
and then disappeared
but sooner or later they'll come to us
right.
When will the chief of the roc arrive?
Feng hao's waiting for him outside
he will be here at noon
there are guests
wait
so it's the chief of the roc society
the chief of the roc society's here
Sir, please!
There must be more than one man inside
who are you?
I fu
meng sheng-hun
and you?
Impossible, you couldn't have lived!
I told you nothing's absolute
there's always another possibility
you're wrong
without finding your body...
I'll always wait for you
You've taught me to let
others under-rate you
but never under-rate others
now it's your mistake
fight
Feng hao, bring the men outside
yes
no need
Men
Uncle, the men outside have either died...
Or defected. Now we're the only ones...
Inside and outside the lung men society
lu, you've followed me many years
probably you've not learned this manoeuvre
fight
rattan shield. The tunnel
So you're here
I heard you're the most famous killer
see if you can kill me
do you think I stand any chance?
Not the slightest chance...
For I have never been defeated
I've never met one I can't kill either
You're quiet nimble
You've lived up to your name
you're not bad also
you forget what I wear
It's bullet-proof...
But may be hurt by internal skill
you're the only man here
you want to wait for death or what
Lu hsiang-chuan is lu hsiang-chuan
Hsiang-chuan, what is it?
Close the door quickly
where are the gold and notes?
The 200,000 taels of gold and $500,000...
Are in the box in the back room
and the horse?
In the backyard
uncle is right
one must prepare for anything
any wine?
Here
Hsia ching, do you remember our youth?
We used to starve and steal together
and pass many cold nights
and you've support me for over 20 years
everyone must have a true friend...
So that when fate's against him...
He will not feel lonely
no, men like you have no friend
You think of getting away again
I've chosen this last place for you
hsia ching, you...
I learned it from you
so can I betray you
I have already poisoned it
you've also drunk the wine
but it's not the same wine
You said yourself what I want to kill...
Should be killed and can be killed
Master, master
miss is here
sheng-hun, come with me
Sheng-hun, you may go with hsiao tieh
why?
If you stay, you may kill me some day...
For there's always a power struggle
alright. You can go now
yes
Where there are swords, there are killings
It seems the ancients made swords...
For the sake of power struggle
