Who are they meeting up with?

It should be Zhang Dajing of the United Bank.

Chief,

only Lei Bin is in the Capital.

Will he be able to defeat both of them?

The herbs were one tael and three coins.

The rent is three tael's and two coins.

The shoes were seven coins.

The oil was half a tael.

Don't keep reading. We are over-budget this month.

We have to pay our taxes to the court next month.

Oh, I almost forgot...

This is a half-year bank note.

I saved bit by bit.

It's worth fifteen tael's and seven coins.

You can cash it in tomorrow.

I'll go to the bank tomorrow then.

If you had 800,000 taels of silver,

what would you do with it?

If I had 800,000 taels of silver,

you wouldn't be here with me.

Why?

Because you would be afraid that I would think

that you were marrying me for the money.

United Bank

I'll go and get the money.

Wait here.

Here is your silver.

Thank you. Please take it.

Immobolize them!

Sir, don't be angry. Please, accept this humble gift.

Where is the vault?

Sir, those mushrooms are great!

They will extend your life!

Did anyone deposit a corpse...

No, half of a corpse?

Sir, we only accept silver and gold, not bodies.

They're robbing the bank!

The police are coming!

Call the police!

Don't worry. Everything will be alright.

Brother, this lady is really tough.

We brothers came to the Capital for business.

Sorry for offending you.

Please, go ahead if you have nothing to do with this.

Then...

I will have to offend you!

Slaughter her!

Let's go!

Quickly! Don't let them get away!

Freeze! Where are you all going?

Arrest them!

Stay back! Stay back!

Ah-Sheng, I...

Okay, let's eat.

You're not the least bit curious?

It's no big deal.

Even if you were a big bandit before,

you're still my wife now.

Ahhh, smells good!

Today's stew is braised meatballs with vegetables.

I'll serve it.

I'll ask you one last time, who else know about the remains?

I told you before.

The Kongdong Sect said

the banker Zhang Dajing has the remains.

So, you pretended to rob the bank.

Don't worry.

It will heal in a few days.

So, the woman fought empty handed?

She did that on purpose.

What was your last move?

Strike

Did she take your sword like this?

How did you know?

Tell me, how were you blinded?

What ministry are you from?

Why did you drag me out of prison and bring me here?

I told you everything I know!

Call Turquoise, Lei Bin and the Magician to the Capital.

Yes.

I'll show you guys a trick.

A bamboo cup,

a bowl,

and some water.

Watch carefully.

Go!

Where did it go? Look here.

Arise!

Wow!

That's incredbile!

Now I will turn wine into ice.

This is my newest trick, I just learned it.

Old Lian, can you turn wine into ice too?

I used to be able to when I was young.

Why can't you do it anymore?

Yes, why not?

Because the things I can do now are all those...

real tricks.

You're talking about the magical Flying Rope?

The magical Flying Rope is only a legend.

There is no such thing.

Have any of you seen this trick?

No.

Don't you always want to see the magical Flying Rope?

Up!

Disperse!

You have to have a real skill to climb up.

Can you make it?

I'm going up.

what is this?

It's fake.

It's a scarecrow.

Where is he?

I have to go take care of some things.

When will you be back?

In three to five days, if everything goes well.

I'm drying some noodles on the roof.

Remember to take them down in the morning.

People lay out cloths to dry, not noodles.

This time it will work.

Air dried noodles don't get mushy,

no matter how long you boil them.

Come back soon.

The kid is waiting for you to cook noodles.

That's cold.

You want to move back to Changzhou, right?

If everything goes well,

when I come back.

we'll leave the Capital.

Maybe open a noodle shop in Changzhou.

Okay?

Really?

Miss

Come here.

Where are you going?

Come on!

Come on, let's go!

Hey! You can't do that!

Jing, you came at the right time.

Take this home.

Stir-fry it with jujubes, angelica and vinegar.

Have one bowl each time after your period.

Can I eat it?

This is a secret recipe named "multiple offspring".

Honey.

Honey.

You're home early today.

Oh, I forgot some things.

I was a bit hungry

and came back to get something to eat.

Honey,

my shoe is worn out.

Take it off, and I will repair it tomorrow.

What is it?

Oil has become more expensive.

Then use a candle.

Is that her?

She can change her face, but she can't change her aura.

Aura?

I only see an average housewife reparing shoes.

What aura?

You're right, the aura is still there.

But the killer instinct is not as strong as before.

Your eyes must be bad.

Do you really like this man

or did you just want any man?

I doubt you're really Drizzle.

It's Doctor Li's work

Why?

you didn't like your old face?

Why go you wear a mask?

You don't like your face?

You killed Fatty Chen and took all the secret files?

If it were me,

both of you would already be dead.

You really want to take us on?

That sounds like fun.

Return the remains to the Dark Stone and I will let you live.

If you dare say no,

first I will kill your husband,

then everyone you know,

and finally yourself.

I'll trade you the remains for something.

Trade them for what?

Me and my husband.

You like him that much?

If you help me get the other half of the remains,

I will let you go.

The Kongdong Sect knows where it is.

They will be in the Capital in a few days.

Help me get the remains, and you and I are even.

Don't run away.

You will be watched.

This sore will never heal.

I too want to hide and nurse my wounds.

But once I get the signal from the Dark Stone,I have to kill again.

Here.

Tell me, why did you really leave?

Was it for the remains or for him?

Once you start down this path, there is no escape.

No regrets and no way out.

I like this life I have now.

Ok,

see you in three days at the Yueyang Inn.

Feng's Residence

One million tael's of silver.

Two million taels of silver.

Three million taels of silver.

You told me there is no leaving the Dark Stone.

Why let her go?

You have nerve! Pointing a sword at my back?

There was a reason why we picked you.

Why don't you attack?

Kill me,

and these millions of taels

and the tribute from the mandarins will all be yours.

You can take my place.

I heard whoever has the remains can rule the martial arts world.

If you can study the kung fu from the remains,

then teach it to me.

Put your clothes back on and go.

Until we get the remains,

don't move against Jing and her husband.

I like it when you lie on me.

United Bank

The Kongdong Purple and Teal swords are known for their skill,

but not their character.

They were master and disciple,

but now they're husband and wife.

What a joke.

If everyone followed their path,

then we would be married.

That's Zhang Dajing of the United Bank.

He's offering a reward of one million taels for Bodhi's remains.

He's very rich, but he is a cripple.

Tonight,

we will strike in the lobby of the bank.
