Four Assassins Page #2

What do you have from your shoulders down?

That's easy.

Hands.

Lucky that you've learnt ''lron Palm''

for a few years,

or you'll have a problem.

ltchy.

What kind of beans are these? Poisonous?

You've learnt this for a while,

don't you know by now?

Fry.

Fry.

Come back later if you haven't had enough.

l live in the hut by the tea garden.

Master.

Still the same words.

Whoever climbs up is an a**hole.

Hero Wan, you're my master

l'm an a**hole.

lf he is,

then l am...

Oh, no!

He made fun of me.

Go.

Brother Zhou, you have no idea,

that old...man is so mean.

Look.

That old...man told me to go later.

But l won't.

lf he said so,

you must go.

Brother Zhou is right.

Looks like you didn't

learn your inner strength during the day,

if you go tonight...

The old man isn't kind,

he put poison in the beans,

if the itch wouldn't stop,

l can forget about sleeping tonight.

l got it, Brother Zhou.

What happened to you?

Oh, don't talk about it.

Looks like he had suffered too.

Brother Zhou, you're the best among us,

you're the one who's practised

''Bell Cover''.

l thought you're too lazy to show up.

Master, please teach me.

Shut up, start grinding.

Mrs. Zu.

Sit.

My father said today is the first day,

it must be hard for you to bear.

You will need this ointment,

it's my father's secret prescription,

rub this on three times tonight.

My father said it's a tough way to learn

Bell Cover,

but the training could speed up.

Your foundation is good,

with three months of training,

your body will be strong as the stones.

Thank you, Chief Wang.

Master.

Any movements around Tiandao Mansion

in the last week?

You're sure no one left the place?

No one.

The Chief of Tiandao Mansion minds

his own business,

he obeys all our orders,

they don't have any weapons,

not even a shovel.

But then you don't really need

a knife to kill.

Right...

l must go there.

You're the highest official around here,

l'm really honoured to receive you

as my guest.

You have a famous place here,

it's my duty to visit, as a local

official.

Please.

lt's a big mansion,

why such a small entrance?

That's because we've been ordered several

times not to take in any strangers,

we don't want others to come in

that easily,

that's why we only use the small door.

Please.

What can l do for you?

Chief Wang.

Seven days ago,

l was tracking the accomplices of

the Khan's assassins,

and l saw four males and a female enter

your mansion.

l've ordered my soldiers to be on guard

around here,

and no one's left during these days.

These four males and one female must be

still here.

ls that so?

l guess you must be mistaken,

there are many people here,

but they are all law abiding residents,

they would never try to assassinate

the Khan.

We don't have suspects here.

Really?

lf you don't believe me,

you can search here.

That's not necessary.

But l'd like to take a look around.

Be my guest.

Chief, you're a martial arts expert,

well known for your ''Bell Cover'' skill.

l was hoping that l could have the

chance to see it.

Master Polo.

l was into boxing and kicking when

l was young,

as for ''Bell Cover'',

that's just a rumour, you needn't

believe that.

But l've seen the assassin,

that he's unscathed in the fight.

That's out of the ordinary.

Please.

Master Polo.

Chief Wang, you really don't know

''Bell Cover'',

please show me around.

Of course.

Please.

There's a bamboo forest outside,

a young man is cutting up the

bamboo branches.

And someone's working at the stones field,

you want to go there?

lt's alright.

There's really not much to see there,

right?

Very wise, Master Polo.

l've been walking around, but no sight

of any woman.

Han women don't show their faces

in front of strangers,

& men won't walk into women's rooms

just like that,

we're bound by Confucianism,

unlike in your society.

l must head back to my office,

and l'll visit again.

l'm very honoured, you're a high official,

you're always welcome.

He's gone?

Yes.

He's a smart man,

l'm sure he'll come back secretly.

We must be on guard.

Chief Wang is very smart and capable,

and a very sharp character,

we must investigate in the dark,

We'll only attack when we've got

the proof,

so that the residents will be on our side.

You'll...

...Go back in two months' time?

They will be on guard now.

After a while,

when they assume l won't be going,

l'll sneak in and catch them off guard,

then l could see the real condition.

Caidalu,

order the guards around Tiandao Mansion

to leave.

Yes.

They must still be inside.

Must be.

Master.

l've only found out the real essence

of the lron Palm in this month.

But l still don't know

your name, master.

l guessed it,

but l dare not to say.

Why not?

l guess that fellow is No.1 in lron Palm,

but as a person, he's...

l dare not to say.

You brat.

What about the person?

l didn't say who that is?

His alias is King of lron Palm,

he's not a bad man,

but he loves to...spit around.

Not bad, kid.

Start grinding.

Until the surface is leveled,

then l'll start to teach you the real

''lron Palm''

What are you so happy about?

Three more to go.

You've learnt fast.

For ''Bell Cover'', the training gets worse.

ln the end, there will be one or

two inches

of area which isn't covered.

lf you keep that area as small as

possible,

you've achieved a lot.

Right.

Your waist, four inches around it.

You must work on it.

You've improved a lot.

Except we don't have much time,

you could be better.

We could keep on practising.

But l fear that the tartars won't let you.

And besides, that Marco Polo

has his doubts about us.

l think that Marco Polo guy

actually pities us,

he's different from the Mongolian.

Even so, he's working for them,

he doesn't have a choice.

We'll take one day at a time,

let's hope that they'll take action later.

And l hope you can master the skills.

then we can prepare for it.

But...

Send a royal decree to Marco Polo.

Tell him to take care of the case

regarding

the assassination attempt

as soon as possible.

Yes, Khan.

l've been ordered by the Khan

to take care of Tiandao Mansion

as soon as possible.

l've told you the plan,

you all understand?

Master Polo,

you said you'll go alone tonight,

and we'll lead the troops in tomorrow.

Correct.

lt's been three months

since my last visit,

they wouldn't expect me to sneak

in tonight.

l think l'll uncover their secrets

this round.

All in one go!

l'm sure you're right, Master Polo.

That's not something an ordinary person

could do,

one's will determines one's strength.

Ready.

Chief, again.

Jian, it's been a hundred days

since your death.

l wanted to follow you, but

l just wanted to serve my father for a

few more days.

Here l come, Jian.

Stop.

l'm joining my husband.

l can tell you that,

you're a good man.

Put her down.

You...were standing right outside?

You knew she's going to commit suicide,
