and not let you drink too much.

The wine's very strong.

It's not good for you.

Sorry, but I'm not permitted to drink.

Why don't you drink with us then?

Sure. Cheers!

You've spilt it.

Allow me to offer you my cup.

I've spilt mine too.

Would you pass me your cup?

Why do you want mine?

Surely it doesn't matter?

It matters to me!

What's the matter with you?

Pour again.

- I want your cup.

- What's so special about my cup?

If you keep refusing me,

there'll be trouble!

Enough. Pass over your cup.

Stay out of it, Brother!

That's no way to drink wine.

Stop it now.

Sorry, but my man here is drunk.

Officer Mao, he tried to kill me.

Stop it.

We're aware of your skills already!

I think they may have something to do

with the beheaded Yu Qian.

I think Xiao is the most dangerous one.

He told those two

that the wine was poisoned.

- When?

- When he proposed a toast to you.

- How did he do it?

- No idea.

- But they're all connected somehow.

- All four of them?

The innkeeper too.

Then they must all die.

Xiao is a dangerous fellow.

We'll play a trick on them.

I don't like that Xiao.

If it wasn't for him,

we'd be dead by now.

Why should he save our lives?

- You sleep over there tonight.

- On the floor?

Playing some kind of trick again, eh?

- We should start.

- Yes.

Let me just explain...

Don't act rashly!

A woman?

What happened?

Officer Mao,

did you hear any noise?

No.

Come to my room.

- Who is it?

- The innkeeper.

Oh, it's you.

What happened here?

No idea.

- I have some idea.

- If you have something to say, say it!

How dare you talk to me like that?

All your mouthing off and fighting!

Without your sister, you'd be long dead.

One day you'll learn!

- Why, how dare you...?

- Stop it!

- You want to fight again?

- He's just short-tempered.

He was traumatised as a child.

And he hasn't changed a bit since then!

You know my brother?

Yes.

No wonder he doesn't recognise me.

Last time he saw me,

he was a child.

Who are you?

Wu Ming.

You're an officer from Yu Qian's troop?

Your father and I were

in the same unit.

Uncle Wu!

The years have flown by...

Stand up.

Come to my room later.

Brother Wu, how did you know

they were from the Eastern Agency?

I know these people. They're here

because of Yu's family, I'm sure.

Uncle Wu, what shall we do now?

Wait till they're asleep,

then slaughter them all.

Yu's family are due

to arrive here tomorrow.

At dawn, we should go out

to look for them.

After we've found them,

we'll kill the agents.

They may be looking for them too.

It's a risk we'll have to take.

We'll search in different directions.

Then we'll have to disappear
