The Assassin Page #4

---

it's unwise to allow Yen Chung-Tzu

...to coninue to influence the king so.

The other day, he even said in court

...that generations from now

it may not be our liege's line

who'll rule Han!

Indeed!

What do you think of Wang Yue

and Tian Qing?

They have sworn their loyalty

to the Premier.

Wang Yue, Tian Qing.

Wang Yue, Tian Qing.

Go pick out a few good men-at-arms

...and assassinate Yen Chung-Tzu tonight!

Don't leave any of his family alive,

lest the truth comes out.

When it's done, you'll be handsomely

rewarded.

Yes sir!

You are the Premier's men-at-arms.

What are you doing here so late at night?

We have a military decree from

the Premier:

Anyone not of the Yen household, begone!

This affair is no one else's concern.

Han Kui holds the Premier's office,

but sends assassins at night

to kill an official.

Such an affair is indeed my concern!

You dare?

Zhang!

Yen Chung-Tzu, there's nowhere

for you to run!

Master Du!

Sir, Han Kui won't allow you to live.

You must leave quickly.

If you want revenge,

go find Nie Zheng in Qi!

Master Du!

Master Du!

If you want revenge, find Nie Zheng in Qi!

This sword, my breastful of hot passion

...whom have I given them to?

Been drinking again?

Be careful you don't wake mother.

We've been in Qi for over a year now.

You're not used to such work,

slaughtering pigs.

I know it's hard on you.

But mother is old;

after that terrible experience

she's aged a great deal.

You must show forbearance.

I understand.

I know you understand.

You just can't help yourself.

Go to sleep, don't drink any more.

You still have to work tomorrow.

What was that noise?

Nothing. A cat knocked over a jar.

To live like this...

Out of the way...

Please have a seat.

Out of the way...

Out of the way...

You haven't paid for that!

Zheng!

Don't get into trouble.

Yes.

That old lady is his mother?

This fellow is indeed a real man!

He is truly filial to his mother.

That's right.

He's always standing up for other people,

butjust one word from his mother

and he'll go back to her obediently.

The old lady called him "Zheng" just now.

Do you know what his surname is?

His surname's Nie.

Nie... Nie Zheng?

Would I be addressing Master Nie?

My name's Nie. Is anything the matter?

May I ask by close of business

how much meat would you have sold?

About his much.

Then my master would buy all of it.

Would this be enough?

Yes. Your master means to...

He means to have Master Nie come

for a chat.

This is my master.

Master Nie, I am Yen Sui.

Please forgive my impertinence.

Yen... Yen Chung-Tzu, Master Yen.

You honor me.

I have not dared to disturb

your mother today.

Would Master Nie accompany me for a chat?
