"Heroes come and go" "In the world of martial arts" "It's a long" "And arduous road to travel" "Many undiscovered talents" "The broken sword glitters like frost and snow" "The little dagger begins to shine" "Their reputation is known everywhere" "Suddenly, spring thunder rolls" "An uproar in a small town" "Fated enemies will meet" "Duels in the open and in the dark" "Put it down." "Turn around." "Yes, turn it around." "It's not a lot of money, but enough for you to have a few drinks." "Come get the body before dawn." "Leave now." "Yes, sir." "GENERAL'S TEMPLE" "COFFIN OF LIAN SAN, THE THROAT-PIERCING HALBERD" "Seeing is believing." "He always arrives before the challenger." "He always wears new clothes." "He always has a coffin beside him for the challenger." "The Legendary Tuan Changqing." "Indeed." "If I were to change my style," "I wouldn't be able to live up to my name, the Deadly Breaking Sword." "Also, I do this because this is a duel to the death, not a game," "and because I respect you as a fellow martial artist." "I can't bear to let your body be cooked by the sun and eaten by dogs." "Don't be overconfident." "Let me ask you something." "I've heard you cut off an inch of your sword every time you kill someone." "Is that true?" "One earns his reputation," "but often, rumors are just rumors." "I don't cut off the sword myself." "I jab my sword into my opponent's bone and let it break off an inch, leaving a piece of the blade in the wound." "You're too arrogant." "Not quite." "I've reached the peak of my sword-fighting abilities." "The better I get, the prouder and bolder I become." "Pride is key to a swordsman." "It's his soul." "And have you heard how many throats I've pierced with this halberd?" "No." "Listen up." "You'd be terrified if I told you the exact number." "Over 100 is merely an estimate." "That's quite a number, but I'm guessing they were all nobodies." "It's different for me." "Those who died by this sword were all famous martial artists just like you, Lian San." "You've had the opportunity to see this sword before dying." "You can rest in peace." "PAWN SHOP" "Don't touch me." "I'm going to gamble." "RUI XIANG GAMBLING HOUSE" "Earth God, I've pawned all my things, hoping for a comeback." "You must help me, no matter what." "I lost a lot last time." "please don't joke around with me." "Thank you." "Let me borrow this." "What's wrong with you?" "Those are mine!" "Thank you." "No credits." "No loans." "Open." "Open." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Xiao Dao, you're looking good today." "That's true." "I look like a winner today." "Come on." "Open." "No credits." "Just admit your defeat." "Uncle, Xiao Dao is here again." "We must try to make him stay this time." "Do you know what this is?" "This is for him?" "Place your bets." "Open." "Master Luo." "Xiao Dao." "What can I do for you, Master Luo?" "You're really something." "Our gambling house has been around for almost 50 years, and you're the first." "What do you mean?" "Look at that." "NO CREDITS NO LOANS" "You should understand now." "No matter what, today, the answer is no." "You're not allowed to gamble until you've paid your debt of 170 silver taels." "Do you want me to hang myself?" "Hang yourself?" "Even that won't solve the problem." "I don't really care if you die, but where would we go to collect your debt?" "Fine, I'm the wager." "I don't have any money." "But we've never done this before." "All right, we'll do you a special favor." "Jinhua, how much do you think he's worth?" "Miss Luo, take a closer look." "Look at me." "Big ears, chubby." "It's the face of prosperity." "At least 750 silver taels." "That's crazy." "Have you gone mad?" "That's completely mad." "All right, a discount, then." "Will 500 do?" "Uncle, I think this is reasonable." "How should we play?" "One game." "If I win, you write off my debt, and I take the rest." "And if I lose, I work as a handyman and guard here until I have enough money to pay my debt." "Deal?" "Deal." "Let's finish this game first." "Yes, right." "Exactly." "Where's Master Luo?" "Over there." "We're here once every six months." "You know the drill, Master Luo." "Hand us the money." "Whoever resists can meet the devil in person." "Meet the devil!" "Sir, we can discuss this." "There's no need for violence." "Master Diao Qi..." "Don't worry." "I'm here." "No one would dare make trouble." "Come on." "Shuffle." "Of all 365 days of the year, you had to pick today." "I'm here for a comeback, and you're here to extort." "If I lose, you three are finished." "Go on." "Shuffle." "What?" "The same as me?" "We're family, but I'm your senior." "I'm the Monkey King." "Ready?" "Sure." "Come on." "Throw, throw." "You." "Your turn." "What do you think?" "It's good." "Really?" "It's good?" "Go ahead." "Go ahead." "Good one, Master Luo." "Mine isn't bad." "Piss off." "What are you laughing at?" "Eight." "A narrow victory." "You have to sign the contract as proof." "All right, I'm unlucky." "It's bad luck." "Sign it." "Sign it." "Come on, I'll show you to your sleeping quarters." "You don't seem like a local." "I'm not, but I've lived here for a while." "What's your real name?" "Poor, untalented Xiao Dao." ""The little Dagger."" "Xiao Dao?" "That's a strange name." "As long as I'm not strange myself." "You tidy up this room." "Madam Liu will arrive in a few days." "Hurry." "The pander of Lixiang Brothel." "Is that her?" "Don't call her that." "Pander!" "Pander!" "You little bastard, you can't call me that!" "Old pander..." "So what if I do, old pander?" "Stop it." "This place has good feng shui." "Food, drinks, gambling and whoring." "Listen up." "There are many scoundrels around." "You'd better be careful, girls." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Listen carefully, Xiao Dao." "You've signed the contract, so you belong to the gambling house." "You'll obey my uncle, but more importantly, you'll obey me." "Why?" "Because my father left the gambling house to me." "I'm the real boss." "My uncle only helps me manage it." "After I've found..." "Your husband?" "I got it!" "We'll provide you with food, lodging and clothing." "The most important thing is you must make Rui Xiang Gambling House your home." "That's not going to happen." "You're the boss." "You eat ribs, and I eat the bones." "You..." "You wear silk and satin." "I wear linen." "If I'm stuck here for years, I'm going to go nuts!" "Don't worry." "A real man always pays his debts." "I'd never sneak away." "I'll think of all the ways to find enough gold and silver to buy my freedom back." "That would be difficult." "You're doing much better." "Just take some herb medicine later." "Yes, yes." "Come in." "Sit down." "Doctor Guo, please save me." "I'm Lian San." "Certainly, certainly." "That's such a fine halberd you're carrying." "You must be a martial artist." "You flatter me." "I think, your left collar bone is wounded." "Impressive." "I've been to countless doctors, and none of them could heal me." "I heard only you, the Killer Doctor, could heal me." "You are partly mistaken." "I'm not the Killer Doctor." "My name is Guo." "But you are partly right." "I'm the only man, who can remove the broken sword from your bone." "Then Doctor Guo..." "Who was the swordsman?" "Gallant Tuan Changqing, the Deadly Breaking Sword." "This is his work?" "Hurry." "Hurry." "GAOSHENG INN" "Lixiang Brothel has a new prostitute from the capital." "Have you heard?" "Her name is Liu Yinxu." "She's very attractive." "She's well-versed in poetry and music." "She's a famous prostitute." "Absolutely gorgeous." "What is it?" "Master Li, the coffin-shop owner, said you'll be staying at Gaosheng Inn for half a month." "Are you planning to battle in a duel?" "Tomorrow evening, by the flying Goose Slope." "A duel to the death or just a trial?" "Hasn't Master Li told you?" "I've bought two coffins for my challengers already." "He mentioned that." "And who are the opponents?" "They're quite well-known." "The Sword Spirits Duo." "The Sword Spirits Duo." "One against two?" "Yes." "That's impressive!" "Master Tuan, be careful." "Right." "Be careful." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Have you fed my horse?" "Yes, you can leave anytime." "Oh, boy!" "This is a nice ruby!" "It must be worth a lot." "FLYING GOOSE SLOPE" "I've made arrangements for your funerals." "It's modest." "I had to do it in a rush." "Please forgive me." "One inch broken after every death." "The Deadly Breaking Sword spares no one." "You are such a disappointment, Sword Spirits Duo, but it's all right." "I'm glad you were able to witness the power of my Deadly Breaking Sword, before dying." "LIXIANG BROTHEL" "Here she comes." "Don't push." "You've had a long journey." "Hurry." "Come, gentlemen." "Madam Liu will be here to serve you from now on." "please come often to support her." "please rest upstairs." "Have you sent out all the invitations?" "Yes." "They're all people with power, wealth and influence." "I heard there's currently a master staying at Gaosheng Inn." "You must be referring to Gallant Tuan Changqing." "Master Tuan, right?" "I sent him the first invitation." "Recall the invitation." "Are you crazy?" "Why?" "We should try to make some money off him." "That would be difficult." "I heard he's very arrogant." "Also, he never goes to brothels, so it's not likely he'll come." "What about the famous doctor, Master Guo?" "The philanthropist?" "He's even less likely to come." "He's the real rich one." "Don't forget about him." "Send him an invitation." "Don't panic, Brother Lian." "When you begin to see some changes, it'll mean that you've fully recovered." "What kind of changes?" "That's hard to say." "You'll recognize them when they happen." "It's not harmful." "I swear I'll get even." "Master." "There's a new madam at Lixiang Brothel." "She's sent me an invitation." "Tell the servant to send a present over." "Yes, sir." "Masters, Master Guo is very nice to Master Lian San." "And his halberd is all cleaned up, nice and shiny." "Master Guo must have taken a liking to his martial arts expertise." "Master Guo." "Please have a seat inside." "Brother Lian." "These are all my friends." "Allow me to introduce you." "There's no need." "You should know that being a sycophant isn't easy." "You constantly have to risk your life, you know?" "Do you know what we're talking about?" "Leave if you're afraid." "Don't." "Stay." "Please stay." "Give that to me." "I can't." "Master Tuan!" "What is it?" "Lixiang Brothel wants to recall the invitation." "Why?" "Madam Liu said, that the guests tonight are all noblemen and powerful people." "You might behave badly before her guests." "Give me the invitation." "What a whore!" "LIXIANG BROTHEL" "Master Tuan, please forgive us." "Please sit down." "Please sit down." "Please sit." "Master Tuan, please sit down." "No, it's fine." "I wasn't invited anyway." "I'll leave immediately if she is not as she claims." "I don't need to dismount." "Master Tuan..." "Say no more." "Drag the horse out." "Set up a chair, quickly." "Xiao Dao." "What are you doing?" "Xiao Dao, you want to sneak over to Lixiang Brothel?" "You can't." "It's busy at the gambling house." "Don't scare off my crickets." "Never mind, Xiao Dao." "I know you can't wait to go over there and take a look at that pretty, rich prostitute." "I..." "Too bad you can't go tonight." "Can I go to sleep, then?" "Go ahead." "Are you leaving, Master Tuan?" "There's someone upstairs." "Master Tuan." "Someone's upstairs, madam." "Thief!" "What's going on?" "What's going on, Master Tuan?" "It's unclean here." "I've caught a thief." "Who's the thief?" "What did I steal?" "When you take something without asking, it's called stealing." "What did I steal?" "Gambling tiles." "That's mine." "Nothing's missing." "Let him go." "Madam Liu, you..." "You have a lot of pretty jewelry." "I've never seen anything like these." "I'm your neighbor." "All right, all right." "Leave, leave." "Please sit down, Master Tuan." "You play well, but I just wasn't in the mood." "At least, I've finally got a chance to meet you in person tonight." "Overrated." "Please stay, Master Tuan." "Why did you recall my invitation?" "It was a ploy." "Let me offer you this cup of wine as an apology." "Please." "No, thank you." "We'll have a drink some other time if it's our fate." "If it isn't, let's leave it at that." "Master Tuan." "Master Tuan!" "Master Tuan!" "Master Tuan!" "Why did he leave, madam?" "He's still angry about the invitation." "Are you all right, Brother Lian?" "Are you all right?" "Master, Madam Liu of Lixiang Brothel is here." "All right, all right." "Is everything all right?" "Excuse me." "You must be Master Guo." "Yes, and you must be Madam Liu." "Please have a seat." "Why do you want to see me?" "One relies on parents when at home." "When on one's own, one relies on friends." "Without your presence that night to liven up Lixiang Brothel," "I would have been shamed." "Not at all." "She looks familiar." "She can't be." "Master Guo, what are you mumbling about?" "Nothing." "Where do you live, Madam Liu?" "The West Chamber of Lixiang Brothel, second floor." "You're always welcome, Master Guo." "I didn't mean your current address." "I meant,where you're originally from..." "Huabei, Tangan." "Tangan?" "And Liu Yinxu is your real name?" "That's my stage name." "My real name is Chen." "The Chen family of Tangan." "Right." "The Chens live in front of the temple in Tangan." "Have you been there, Master Guo?" "Never." "Never." "Who else is in your family?" "I have an older brother, he..." "What about him?" "He's at a prison." "Your brother's in jail?" "That's a terrible thing to say." "He's working as a prison guard." "A guard." "My mistake." "Forgive me." "Master Guo, I'll go back to Lixiang Brothel now." "Certainly, certainly." "Do visit me when you're free." "Certainly, certainly." "Master Guo, you've taken good care of us in the past." "I have indeed." "But there's one thing." "It's okay." "Don't bring it up." "Why not?" "That Lian guy hides inside all day." "I don't know what's so special about him." "I need to know." "We want to challenge him to a duel." "What would be the point?" "Call that Lian guy out." "Yes, sir." "Please, don't be so grim." "Brother Lian, are you sure?" "You haven't fully recovered yet." "Stop it!" "Stop it." "You're all my friends." "There's no need for this." "It's bleeding." "Me?" "Are you calling me?" "What's your name?" "Xiao Dao." "We've met before." "I need to ask a favor of you." "I'll give you 100 silver taels." "One hundred?" "For that kind of money, I'll sleep with you if you ask me." "You..." "I mean it." "Is that all you can see?" "Money?" "Not just all I can see, but all I can think of is money as well." "That's easy enough." "Xiaoqin, go get the money." "I want those in pieces of five taels." "Madam Liu, I'll make sure the job is done." "Xiao Dao!" "Don't you have anything better to do?" "Why are you standing on that tree?" "Don't worry." "Get back to work!" "Come here." "Stop running." "Give me that." "I've told you before that I'd try my best to find gold and silver." "I custom-built this chest." "I've done my calculations." "After I've filled up this chest, I can go free." "A bracelet!" "Let me borrow this for a while." "Let me borrow this..." "What are you doing?" "Give that back to me." "I will, later." "I'll return it." "Buy back your freedom?" "Tuan." "People say that you're gallant, but I don't think so." "Overrated." "Why don't you lend me your nickname?" "I can be Gallant Xiao Dao." "Do you know the old saying," ""Watch what you say." "Don't lose your life over misspoken words"?" "Looking for me?" "What's your rush?" "It's a set of gambling tiles." "Two out of three." "I hear that the ruby on your horse is pretty precious." "If I win, it's mine, and I'll give you some information." "If I lose," "I'll give you the information for free." "What do you think?" "Do you take me for a fool?" "It's fine if you think I'm a fool." "The piece of information will interest you after you've heard it." "You'll stare and almost have a seizure, and you'll have to kill someone." "What do you say?" "Are you in or out?" "In." "I'm feeling lucky." "After meeting you and Madam Liu," "I think my luck has changed." "Come on." "Even, your pick." "Odd, my pick." "Six." "Six, as well." "Six and seven." "Six and eight." "What did I tell you?" "Come on." "Again, again." "Even." "You." "Eight." "Nine, I win." "The last game." "Odd, your pick." "Look." "Mine's bigger." "I'm sure I'll win." "Go on." "Look at this." "However, I..." "However, I win." "Speak up." "It's fate." "I'm destined to be rich and gallant, and you're destined to be poor and shabby." "Speak." "You should be sharing your piece of information." "Speak!" "Compared to Madam Liu's bed, yours doesn't feel too comfy." "I slept with her last night." "She's quite a lady." "Smooth skin, so comfortable." "Calm down." "I think you're about to have a seizure." "What's this?" "A bracelet from Madam Liu." "You can ask her yourself." "Did you give this jade bracelet to Xiao Dao?" "No, I only gave him 100 silver taels." "Even more." "I've overestimated you." "You slept with the guard of a gambling house?" "If you don't believe me, we can ask him to clear this up." "You shouldn't pay so much attention to such a trivial matter." "Master Tuan." "I want to tell you a true story about a young woman I know." "Go on." "I was orphaned when I was very little, and I was entrusted to the care of a madam." "My brother had been wandering around, but he would show up during festivals." "He brought me presents and stayed with me for a few days." "I had no idea how he made his living." "Until one day..." "Brother." "Yinggang, come." "You shouldn't have risked coming here." "I had to come here." "Security has increased." "Look." "The reward for your capture has been raised to 100,000 taels, dead or alive." "Damn it!" "What's the big deal?" "The guards are completely inept." "They can't catch me." "Yinggang, isn't three million gold taels enough?" "It's enough." "I'm taking your advice." "I've put the gold at the Jufu Bank in the capital." "They're trustworthy, but I do worry about one thing." "Are you saying someone would sell me out?" "What's going on with you and that madam called Lotus?" "You should know I've been on the run." "I didn't have time to see her." "You're right." "Run, Brother!" "They've come to arrest you." "Leave." "She's..." "Go!" "Run!" "No, we'll go together." "Brother!" "Yinggang!" "Brother." "Brother, don't be so silly." "The one who betrayed you is the Killer Doctor, whom you treated as an older brother." "That's impossible." "He's always treated me as his own brother." "I've located Lotus at Cuihong Brothel, as you instructed me." "Her tongue was cut, and she'd gone mad." "So, you see, she didn't set you up." "Think about it." "If it wasn't the Killer Doctor, why isn't he here trying to save you?" "He's rich." "Don't worry, I swear" "I'll find him no matter what I have to do." "Master Tuan, people cry because they grieve." "But tears don't mean that you're telling the truth." "I've met the Killer Doctor myself." "Did he recognize you?" "No." "I beg of you." "Madam Liu, you've got the wrong man." "I'm not a cold-blooded killer." "I won't kill for money." "My Deadly Breaking Sword is only meant for those who defy me." "I understand." "You're still mad at me about the invitation, right?" "I didn't know your mind could be as narrow as your Deadly Breaking Sword." "Other than being emotionless, harsh and arrogant, what else do you have?" "I hate women who criticize men, especially when they criticize me." "Tuan Changqing, you only think of yourself." "You'll never help others, because you're the most selfish man of all." "Master Tuan, that's no way to treat a lady." "Be gentler, got it?" "Madam Liu, could you give me back the jade bracelet?" "Please?" "Put it on the pole." "Go on." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "See you, Master Tuan." "A large debt, which you can't clear" "Even cutting off your flesh and bones" "Gold is Daddy Silver's Mommy" "Help Xiao Dao find a gold mine" "So I can buy my freedom back." "Xiao Dao!" "Xiao Dao!" "Coming." "Hurry." "Xiao Dao." "What's the matter?" "There's a gambler who lost money." "He's making quite a scene." "It's messy." "Really?" "Hurry!" "Come out." "Coming." "help me out, Master Luo." "You must save me." "I'm very sorry." "Have you heard that since I've moved here, it's been peaceful around here?" "The losers will lose, and the winners will win." "No one's tried anything." "Are you looking for trouble, old man?" "Not at all." "I've lost all my money." "All I have now is this piece of ivory antique." "Guess it's worth at least 500 silver taels." "I wanted to pawn this to Master Luo for 200 taels." "If it was worth what you said, you'd sell it to a pawn shop instead and come back to gamble." "I can't wait." "All right, just 100 silver taels." "This is a giveaway." "You went from 500 to 100." "That's fishy." "You..." "Did you say 100 silver taels?" "Yes." "It's not stolen?" "Of course not." "Can't you tell it's worth something?" "Fine, fine, I'll take it." "You will?" "And the money?" "I'll go get it." "Okay." "You got lucky, young man." "You know your antiques." "You've earned 400 taels just like that." "If I didn't need the money so urgently to gamble," "I wouldn't have given you such a good deal." "If you win, I want my bonus." "Of course." "So?" "Done." "Leave now." "Don't come back again." "Again?" "I don't want to be killed." "Xiao Dao." "Xiao Dao." "What is it?" "Wash your face." "Relax." "Wash my face?" "What for?" "No matter what happens, don't get mad." "Just get to the point." "I heard from the other gamblers that the old man is a con artist." "He travels around looking for victims." "You shouldn't have bought that." "Are you saying I was duped?" "This isn't worth 100 taels?" "It's fake." "Fake?" "I don't believe it." "I'm going to talk to the boss of the antique shop." "He's gone." "It's over." "You think that just by taking an alias, you can hide from the evil you've done?" "What are you trying to imply?" "A decent man won't change his name." "Do you remember Chen Yinggang, who's in jail because of you?" "Never heard of him." "Master Tuan, watch your manners." "I've been treating you with good manners." "How could you insult me like that?" "You've gone too far." "Stop pretending." "You're resting." "There's no need to be here." "I've heard of the sycophants here." "I guess it's them." "Yes, they're all my friends." "They are all righteous martial artists." "They've built their reputations just like you." "My apologies." "My apologies." "I thought there was only one reason to be a sycophant." "That is, to do dirty work for money." "As a doctor, what do you need these martial artists here for?" "Why don't you make friends with some poets or writers?" "You saw this day coming." "Master Tuan, you can insult me all you want, but you can't insult my friends." "They are all sophisticated swordsmen, not common soldiers." "Hypocrite." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "What kind of person do you take me for?" "Unsheathe your sword!" "It's not the right time." "You can try to make me take it out." "I must warn you, however, if my sword is unsheathed, bloodshed will follow!" "Master Tuan." "Move away." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Don't you care about your own life?" "If I hadn't stopped in time, you'd be dead." "You can do whatever you want as long as I can stop this pointless fight." "Master Tuan, it'd be my fault if anyone here got hurt." "Master Tuan, has someone tricked you?" "Was I duped?" "This is ridiculous." "When I was a robber like you, I'd sneak in like a mouse." "Look at you, working as a team and armed." "Even I miss sometimes." "Here's a souvenir." "What's wrong?" "Who were they?" "It's fine." "Just a few thieves." "Our neighbor has fended them off." "It's fine." "Go back to your rooms." "Thank you for your help." "No problem." "Just let me know if I can be of service." "I want to make some pocket money." "All right." "You're very generous." "Say, I have a job for you." "It's a chance to make a lot of money." "I'll do it." "Tell me." "Do you know where Guo Tiansheng lives?" "Of course I do." "He's a famous doctor, a rich man, a kind man who helps the weak." "I want you to kill that hypocrite for me." "Who would expect the guard of a gambling house could be so skilled?" "Master Guo, that kid is a problem." "All right, we'll try bribing him." "If it doesn't work, kill him." "Yes, sir." "Will you do it for 500 taels?" "Yes." "I really want the gold, but I fear I'd be killing a good man." "I'd go to hell for that." "Because of this man, my brother's in jail and I have no idea how he's doing." "I was alone and helpless." "I ended up in a brothel." "I've told all this to Tuan Changqing, but he just left, unconcerned." "You're my only hope." "You should have come to me first." "You'd have had a better chance." "Madam Liu, what you've just told me, is it all true?" "It's true." "All right, I'll do it." "Keep the reward safe." "If I get killed, please pick a good coffin and a set of nice clothes for my burial." "You don't have to go." "You see, I've never worn a nice set of clothes or lived in a nice house." "Please." "I'll go out by the front." "Stand still." "Liu Yinxu is a complicated woman." "Why did she see you?" "For a good chat." "Do I have to tell you everything?" "Stop pretending." "I know it all." "She hired you to kill someone." "That's right, to kill Guo Tiansheng." "You can't go." "So you haven't killed him." "I had no reason to." "It's the beginning of a new era, the era of the dagger, not the sword." "Jerk." "Listen to my advice." "Stay in the gambling house." "You might be poor, but you can sleep soundly at night." "It's better than getting killed for no reason." "I heard that Miss Luo of the gambling house is very nice to you." "You're lucky." "Watch what you say." "I'm very superstitious." "I never talk or go near a woman before I kill." "Are you doing this on purpose?" "I can't let you kill an innocent man." "After you've heard my version, you'll..." "Shut up." "Don't stand in my way." "Not bad." "This style is called, "Dog peeing."" "You forced me to do this." "All right, money talks." "If you wait before heading off and listen to what I have to say," "I'll double your pay." "Say that again." "If you wait before heading off," "I'll double your pay." "All right, a promise is a promise." "Come." "I was duped." "I can't let you be tricked, too." "You mean Guo Tiansheng doesn't know Madam Liu?" "All right, let's not talk about them anymore." "Let's play a drinking game." "Sure." "Crab with eight legs" "Pointy head Of this size" "Eyes popped out Neck drawn back" "Crawling, crawling on the sand" "Which one of us should drink?" "Six, who should drink?" "Three, who should drink?" "Six, I should drink" "Fine, never say no to a drink" "Go on, go on." "Go on, go on." "A person with your skills is hard to come by, my friend." "It's too bad you don't know how to live by a code of honor." "How do you mean?" "We're the same." "No, we're not." "You can't just kill a person for money." "Right." "Perhaps I was being harsh." "Forgive me." "It's difficult to live by a code of honor, but you will learn, gradually." "Sure, I'll remember everything you said." "It's getting late." "Hand it over." "Excuse me?" "What you promised, double my pay." "You haven't changed a bit." "Obviously." "Right." "These are money orders." "Have you seen one before?" "Do you know how to use them?" "Of course." "These are money orders." "Have you seen one before?" "Do you know how to use them?" "You can't replace money with pieces of paper like that." "Xiao Dao, you have to wise up." "Stop letting people trick you." "As long as I don't fall for your tricks." "Tuan Changqing is a renowned swordsman, unlike that old con artist or those unethical merchants who issued bogus money orders." "Since you're here, why don't you call over your uncle?" "Give me back my contract." "Tonight, I'll buy my freedom, and tomorrow, I'll be able to go wherever I please." "We have lots of money here." "It'll last you for life." "That's your money, not mine." "Maybe you'd like to make this place yours?" "Are you saying, you and me..." "Thanks but no thanks." "I get what you're saying, but I've always taken care of myself." "You wouldn't want me to leech off a woman, would you?" "Fine, we'll go our separate ways." "All right, then." "Call your uncle over." "You..." "You want me to be stuck here for the rest of my life?" "Why won't you listen to me?" "All right, what's that?" "It's a well." "A well." "All right, you're going to pay." "No!" "No!" "Put me down!" "Xiao Dao!" "Help!" "Help!" "Master Tuan." "What are you doing?" "Get up." "I want to speak to you." "Madam!" "What is going on?" "Master Tuan!" "It's fine." "What's wrong?" "It's nothing." "Leave." "You can leave." "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." "You can go." "Madam Liu, you've tricked me into facing Guo Tiansheng." "And now you've asked Xiao Dao?" "Fortunately, I stopped him in time." "Otherwise, someone might've gotten killed." "Tell me why you want to kill him." "At least you went." "I should thank you for this much." "But hearing you talk now..." "Did he get to you?" "He doesn't know your brother, and he's not the Killer Doctor." "How could I kill this man?" "Madam Liu, you used me." "Why can't you use your own judgment?" "If you doubt me so, why did you go there in the first place?" "Now you've offended both sides." "PRISON OF HUAIAN COURT" "Chief, you have a visitor." "Who is it?" "He wouldn't say." "You're quite bold." "Don't you know this is a prison?" "You should have thought twice before coming here." "I know all about you." "You're the custodial officer, Fan Fei." "You're always an officer, first and foremost." "If that's so, you should drop your weapon and tell me your name." "Yes, sir." "Hand it over." "You don't need to know who I am." "I just want to get a prisoner out." "No." "Every society has its laws." "How could a custodial officer break the law?" "You can't break the law?" "No." "A money order for 1,000 taels." "Send him over immediately." "Now you can break the law." "Who is this prisoner?" "Chen Yinggang." "No, he's an important criminal." "I know." "And you've made a lot of money because of him." "The Killer Doctor has told me about you." "Fine." "Chief." "Open the door." "Yes, sir." "Chen Yinggang, someone's come to get you out." "Did my brother send you?" "Are you Chen Yinggang?" "Yes, why?" "Has my brother's conscience finally gotten the better of him that he would spend money to get me out?" "But it's too late now." "Don't waste any more time, Chen Yinggang." "Follow me." "Follow me." "Don't leave!" "Listen up." "If you leave Chen Yinggang here, I'll let you walk free." "This is a good deal." "Go!" "Go!" "Fan Fei, you asked for this." "Go!" "Let us go, swordsman!" "Let us go!" "Fan Fei." "Go!" "As a corrupt custodial officer collaborating with criminals and lawless individuals, you should be killed." "Then you went back on your word after taking my money order!" "It's not just that you wouldn't let Chen Yinggang go." "You wanted to take all the money, as well." "Fine." "I guess I've bought myself an ear, then." "My ear!" "My ear!" "Brother Lian." "Brother Lian!" "I'm here to see you." "It's not locked." "Please come in." "Don't worry, Doctor Guo." "You should be pleased." "You've saved my life, and your medicine has increased my abilities." "I've transformed." "Brother Lian, look, after taking my medicine, you've indeed transformed." "Please let me thank you, my savior!" "Please get up." "Congratulations." "Brother Lian, I believe that in this world, everything is a lie, except friendship." "From the moment I met you, I knew you were a righteous person." "That's why I saved you." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "You're welcome." "This invitation." "It was sent by Tuan Changqing." "An invitation to a banquet at Lixiang Brothel tomorrow night." "Brother Lian, do you think I should go?" "If you ignore this invitation, he'll just send another." "I believe he has plans to get rid of you." "Liu Yinxu is like a tumor." "She's become a problem because she wasn't removed earlier." "I know." "I know." "It appears" "Tuan Changqing is on Liu Yinxu's side." "And so..." "You must nurture an army for 1,000 days in order to use it for an hour." "Brother Lian, don't say that." "I would never even think of doing such a thing." "Please don't mistake my intentions." "Don't worry." "You'll be at ease again after this banquet." "I can only hope." "Wealth and prosperity on the right, hell on the left." "Left." "But what I want to know is whether you three will tie me up or I'll tie you three up." "I was born curious no matter the circumstance." "It hurts!" "You attacked me from the back." "Master Tuan, please come out." "All this was unnecessary." "There was no need to invite me here for a banquet, to book the whole brothel and set it up like this." "You'd never have thought that I would still be alive." "Quite unexpected indeed." "You're still alive." "I wanted to see for myself just how poisonous your heart is." "I've always treated you as my elder brother." "How could you sell me out?" "Simple." "Men die all the time in the pursuit of wealth." "Three million gold taels are better spent alone than shared with another." "You..." "Chen Yinggang, it's no use talking to him." "Do it!" "Tuan Changqing, you should know there's always someone out there better than you." "I'd be very impressed if you walk out of this place alive." "Don't worry." "I've prepared a coffin for you." "Brother Yinggang!" "Brother Yinggang." "Shut up!" "I'll take care of you in a moment." "You!" "I must get my revenge!" "That's right, Tuan Changqing." "I want my revenge, as well, for your spilling tea all over my face!" "Brother Lian, it's up to you." "The Killer Doctor saved your life." "That's right." "He's my savior, and you're our common enemy." "Master Tuan." "Madam." "Master Tuan." "Master Tuan." "Master Tuan!" "Master Tuan!" "Brother Lian, revive!" "Revive!" "Revive!" "Revive!" "Revive!" "Are you all right?" "Go!" "Madam." "Go!" "Tuan Changqing, you're useless." "Can't you even fight an old man?" "Check me out!" "Leave now!" "You're no match to him." "The kid from the gambling house." "Come here, old man." "Come here." "So you're not an old man." "Xiao Dao." "Don't panic." "Check me out." "Just testing him." "Bad tiles." "Tuan Changqing, you call yourself a swordsman?" "Don't you know that the longer the weapon, the stronger it is?" "Don't be so sure." "Don't you know that the shorter the weapon, the more dangerous it is?" "All right, I'll pick a long one." "Is this long enough?" "Allow me." "The longer, the better." "Be careful." "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." "Xiao Dao!" "Xiao Dao." "Remember, buy me a nice set of clothes and a good..." "Many undiscovered talents" "The broken sword glitters like frost and snow" "The little dagger begins to shine" "Their reputation is known everywhere" "The little dagger begins to shine" "Their reputation is known everywhere"
