"Single Blade Meeting," originally written by Guan Hanqing, depicts the story of Guan Yu crossing the river with his blade to attend Lu Su's Hongmen Banquet.
Yun Changbai thought Xiao Ming was quite brave, but Xiao Ming considered the Yun Family to be in its twilight, nothing more than a chicken made of clay.
After knocking a Yun Family bodyguard unconscious with a rubber stick, he stretched and yawned, thinking that his master had been right: practicing martial arts was pointless without real combat to improve it. Otherwise, it was all just for show.
Just as he was thinking this, a rumbling of footsteps suddenly erupted.
He looked up and saw, to his amazement, at least twenty or thirty men approaching, each armed with a long pole tipped with a fork, certainly good enough to catch a wild boar.
Xiao Ming grimaced and took off running.
But he didn't run out, he ran deeper in.
