The Old Way (命悬一枪)

[The 32nd year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1906)]

Go.

Go.

During the late Qing dynasty in the lands to the southwest,

bandits ran rampant and commoners lived in fear.

One righteous hero

stood his ground and gathered followers.

Using his strength alone,

he brought peace to the region.

Mother.

But little did he know,

this rallying call

would ultimately invite disaster.

Help!

Something happened at my home!

Help!

Help!

Something happened at my home!

My dad helped every one of you.

You are ungrateful!

You broke the rules.

You must punish yourselves with the knife.

Your dead body won't even remain intact.

My rank is higher than yours.

Back then, First Master gave you the rallying banner.

That indeed broke the rules.

[The 15th year of the Republic of China (1926)]

When I'm back this time,

let me see who dares to say

I'm not capable enough to take over my family business.

You still have to wait until your father dies.

Don't talk nonsense.

That's our father.

Thank you, boss.

It's still far away from the boats.

There are rules.

Waterways and land routes are separate.

So many stupid rules.

How much does it cost to get those things on the boats?

Two dollars?

Are you kidding me?

20% of the goods.

What?

30%.

Calm down.

50%.

Calm down.

You just watch?

Go!

I told you

you would need others to protect you if you were to take this route.

Now you know.

Hero, hurry up.

My herbs!

You made such a big fuss.

I'm afraid you need to pay more.

Double the price.

Okay.

Sir.

You can fight for stuff.

But you can't snatch it.

Got it.

I'm afraid it's not right to kowtow without lighting an incense stick

after you enter the temple.

[Follow the will of heaven and take every possible action]

May I ask how you went blind?

I'm not blind,

and my eyes are even bigger than yours.

My name is Peng Yinan.

I'm new here.

Please show me the way.

What business do you plan to do?

As long as it's profitable,

I'll do it.

There's not much business to do these days.

Thanks.

Peng.

Look at this one.

Not bad.

Yes.

We'll have a good year.

Peng.

How about we go to my hometown?

I can repair the house.

Why don't we have a good time in the city?

You're like a pig who doesn't know how to enjoy life.

You know?

I'm not a pig.

I am?

Yes.

I...

Come on.

Can you two be quiet?

Shut up.

You two are like a sheep and a dog.

If you don't see each other, you go find each other.

But when you two meet, you fight.

Peng called you a dog.

Come on.

Come on.

Disband!

Disband!

How about we

distribute the money and disband?

Since we've decided to be a team,

let's not quarrel every day.

Remember,

in our life,

to make money is the most important.

Make tea with well water at the door.

It can't be used to serve guests.

After entering Muyang City,

we're family.

Over all these years,

it's the first time I've met a female in our trade.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Lei Wu.

What's your name?

Zhuang Yue.

Ma Ming.

This is our boss.

How could you tell her our names so easily?

We are in the same trade.

Gold Mountain, Silver Mountain, which mountain is the famous mountain?

Gold Hall, Silver Hall, which hall is the famous hall?

What do the 36 golden seats

refer to?

Of the 72 Dragon Tiles,

which one is about the soaring rank of our bros?

You pretend to be one in our trade.

You're so bold.

I didn't mean to pretend.

I want to make

a request.

Okay.

You pay us and you're the client.

Tell me.

What do you want us to do?

To kill someone.

Not a big deal.

We'll take it.

How much will you pay us for that?

You name the price.

How much do you have?

How much do you want?

How much will you pay?

I'll pay a lot.

How much exactly?

This is not how a business negotiation should be.

Peng just wants to make everything clear before we do the job,

so that there won't be any disputes.

Alright.

My offer is a gold bar.

I'll give it to you after it's done.

Come on.

From Chengdu to Huayang,

we only accept cash.

Take this as a deposit, okay?

Girl.

Are you stupid?

What can you do to me

if I just take your deposit and disappear?

If you're willing to do the job,

come to Fangjing Town to find me.

If not,

I'll take you as a robber.

What do you mean?

What I mean

depends on what you'll do.

She's so cool.

This is a new way.

Where are you going?

Didn't we take the deposit?

Can't we just take the deposit and do nothing?

No, you can't.

When I asked you to do something,

you always had excuses for not doing it.

Because this time the client is a girl,

you're so enthusiastic about her request.

Peng.

I have something to tell you.

My mom came to my dream yesterday.

She asked me to get married.

Peng.

Don't you think

this place is so quiet?

It's so comfortable.

Have you even come up with a name for your child?

What are you talking about?

I came here for business.

Business?

Judging from how the place looks, I don't think she can pay us a gold bar.

But we've already come.

I know.

You won't give up

unless you really check on her.

This house is quite nice.

Are you crazy?

Nothing to do with me.

Blackie.
