Yes, sire!

Miao Tian Lu and Chai Wan

shall launch the second wave

and kill him on the way.

Yes, sire!

YUN LAI INN:

YUN LAI INN:

Welcome.

Sir, please.

Please...

Sir, what do you think of the place?

Wait, what's the charge per night?

A tael and a half,

you can't come by a better deal.

Little housekeeper, what do you say?

One tael.

All right, one tael.

You must be hungry.

We have everything.

I'll prepare some fresh food for you.

So that you can charge us

whatever way you want?

Anyway, forget about the fresh food.

Just get a pot of rice and two dishes.

All right.

You dare bully people?

What are you doing?

It's not right to bully.

CHIN SIU-HOU

Sir, please adjudicate.

I came here for food and accommodation.

He said the inn is full. Well, that's all right,

but he was abusive and even pushed me.

How could something like this

be condoned?

Sir, if you don't mind,

come and stay with me in my room.

You are quite a gentleman.

Please.

It's Brother Bai. Have you eaten?

Good question, I'm hungry indeed.

- Waiter.

- Coming.

Anything to eat?

Just add a bit more

to the pot of rice I just ordered.

Order what you'd like to eat.

Anything good?

The best meal is eight taels,

medium grade is...

No one wants anything mediocre,

just bring the best.

What's the choice of wine?

A great choice, but no single-order sale.

Bring the whole jar, then.

Okay.

Oh, fish and chicken.

Some more, oh, my god.

What do you think?

How much does it all cost?

Such a big jar of wine,

how are we going to finish it?

What a nuisance.

Brother Yan, I'm not used to

sleeping with others.

Sorry that you need to make

a compromise tonight.

Who knows if it's just a dream?

Only I can make sense of it.

Sleeping in peace here,

my great ability awaits assent.

It's already dawn.

Sir, you are early.

Give me the bill, I have to set off.

All right.

Sir, it comes to a total

of thirteen taels forty-eight.

Not much, I'll give

an additional three taels as tip.

Thank you.

Brother Yan, I'd rather not have

any formality between us.

If we are destined to meet again,

we'll meet again.

Oh, my god, someone's been killed!

Oh, my god, someone's been killed!

Over there.

BANDIT CAO DE YU

BANDIT FANG DIAO

If I encounter this Bai guy again

I won't be too kind.

You don't understand.

What Master Bai did seems unreasonable.

That's why it can't be overlooked.

Two robbers were killed last night

at the inn,

but no one knew about it.

That's very unusual.

Guess it must have something

to do with Master Bai.

I long to get acquainted

with such extraordinary people.

Extraordinary?

His skills lie in swindling

for food and lodging.

Brother Yan, what a coincidence

we meet again.

If we are destined to meet again,

we'll meet again.

The little housekeeper is right.

Your master and I are destined to meet.

Master Bai,

are you supposed to go that way?

Please...

Sir, have a seat inside.

I don't want to go that way now.

Since we've met again

and there's a restaurant here,

why don't we go in for a drink?

Great. Please.

Brother Yan, please.

Welcome, sir.

Upstairs, please.

Upstairs, please.

Be careful.

Waiter, what's the best dish?

Wait, who wants average food?

- Bring me the best.

- All right.

Who wants a single order of wine?

Bring the whole jar.

As long as the wine is good,

you'll have your tips.

Thank you.

So far so good.

Brother Yan,

where will you be staying tonight?

I haven't decided yet.

There's an inn ahead, it's quite good.

Why don't you go there with me?

As you wish.

FU AN INN:

Sir, how come you're back again?

I like your look.

Sir, you are making fun of me.

You know, it's because

I like your look more and more.

That's why I'm unwilling to leave.

But I don't have the money to pay.

So I went out in the street

and found this Master Yan.

Come...

This Master Yan has a lot of money.

That's why I came back.

Sir, you're making jokes.

No, I'm not. The one who'll pay is here.

I can now eat and sleep for free.

Boss, please offer us your best room.

All right. Please.

Please.

Sir, is this room okay?

So far so good.

Bring the best food and a whole jar of wine.

So long as it's good, you'll have your tips.

Of course.

This little housekeeper

understands me much better.

I'm not used to sleeping with other people.

Sorry to make you suffer.

Yu Mo, get up, don't be rude.

Brother Yan, this bed...

We should let the little housekeeper

sleep on it.

FU AN INN:

GUESTS ARE WELCOME

Brother Bai, is he the shopkeeper here?

That's correct.

This is the Prince of Xiangyang's

secret place.

The shopkeeper here

is supposed to be his guard.

He is called Zheng Wa.

Your identity has already been exposed.

That's why the Prince

has sent assassins to kill you.

Those two at the inn last time

were also guards at the Prince's residence.

Thank you for helping me twice.

I appreciate that.

They are all notorious bandits

who are hired as guards

at the Prince's residence.

I'm just not too happy with it.

Bao Zheng is well aware

of the Prince's great power.

There're so many kung fu masters

at Kaifeng.

Why did he have to send a scholar like you

on such a dangerous mission?

I felt it's unfair and so I helped you out.

Bai Yu Tang,

you've blamed Lord Bao wrongly.

I've been protecting him secretly

the whole time.

Lord Yan, guess you'd recognize this.

So you are the secret emissary of Lord Bao.

You must be Zhan Zhao?

I can't tell you my real name at the moment.

But I'm not Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yu Tang, you have looked down

on all the heroes.

All right, let's fight.

Stop being reckless.

We've more important things to do.

Wait until the Prince of Xiangyang's

revolt has been suppressed.

You'll know who I am.

Then, if you still want to,

I'll be pleased to fight you.

So you're Bai Yu Tang

who caused trouble in the capital

because you sought to spar

with Zhan Zhao.

Your fame precedes you.

Lord Bao has been trying to recruit you,

but you keep refusing.

I wonder why you would help me!

I must fight against all this injustice

and so I repeatedly played tricks on you.

But if you were a sycophant,

I wouldn't have gone

all this way to help you.

Lord Bao has his own difficulties.

We'll talk about this later.

We seem to get on well,

what do you say

we become sworn brothers?

You're a high-ranking official,

and me, just an ordinary guy.

I'm afraid it'd be way out of my league.

You're a great hero of the time,

how can you say this?

I look older than you

so maybe I'll be the big brother.

If so, please accept my respects.

Brother.

INSPECTOR'S RESIDENCE

Order in the court.

PRINCE XIANGYANG'S RESIDENCE

Your Highness, Yan Chun Min has arrived

at the office.

I didn't expect him to receive

the assistance of Bai Yu Tang, the Rat.

The two teams we've sent

together with Zheng Wa

have failed the mission.

If I had gone, it wouldn't have happened.

Brother Hua, no need to be angry.

Who would have thought that Bai Yu Tang
