Young Blood

Episode 3

I shall cover your eyes first.

Where is your cart?

Good question!

Where is my cart?

I parked it right here just now.

Did you tie the horse?

Tie the horse?

If not,

it would definitely run forward.

You’re right.

I have to chase it quickly.

If it is lost, I need to pay for it.

You catch up with me!

Where is the horse?

What are you doing?

Whose cart is it?

Cart!

Cart!

So great!

I don’t need to pay for it.

I’m almost scared to death.

Thank you, Childe Wang.

Can we go now?

Of course.

You can get on the cart.

Hold on!

I almost forget one thing.

You have to be blindfold.

Too fast?

Should I loosen it?

No.

Please get on the cart.

Go!

[Tao’s Hotel]

Please enjoy your meal.

Let’s have our meal!

Honey,

from this day on,

we will live here.

Let’s go.

Let’s go together.

Come on! Help yourselves!

This room is well furnished.

It’s more comfortable than living in Imperial College.

Until when you will release my hand?

To be honest,

although we pretended to be lovers,

I couldn’t help

but be fascinated by your beauty.

The false thing becomes true now.

I really like you.

You don’t believe my words.

Get down to the business.

Did you arrange your people in this hotel?

All people here are imperial guards.

No outsider?

None.

So, please rest assured.

You will absolutely be safe.

Let’s make a bet.

Liao Dynasty’s secret agent

would never step inside.

Who the hell are you?

Where the hell am I?

Can I look around by myself?

Kill me if you dare.

You don’t answer my questions,

but only draw out your swords.

All right.

Hold your swords and don’t move.

You really didn’t move!

You only know to draw your swords, right?

You dare cut me with your swords!

My dad has never done that to me!

You actually did that!

You dare hurt me!

You really didn’t dodge!

The threshold.

Be careful.

The step.

Here we are!

What’s wrong with you?

Why are you bleeding badly?

Why don’t you wipe the blood?

I have brought him here.

We can go.

Hello again.

How did you come here?

After Jing covered my eyes,

we took the cart all the way.

And then we walked in here.

It’s unfair.

Why say that?

Yesterday, I felt

you two behaved strangely.

The girl led you here.

But I was caught here by that geek.

She not only led you by holding your hand,

but looked at you affectionately when she left.

What’s more, you are engaged.

What about me?

Look at my neck!

The geek hurt me with his sword.

I will almost die of serious injury.

Only the skin is broken.

What!?

You and I went through thick and thin.

Seeing my miserable situation,

you look so indifferent.

You forget we two families have been enemies?

Our dads hate each other.

What does this have to do with us?

[Dayan Calendar]

Leave those books alone.

No people are watching us.

Let’s try to leave here.

[Medical Science Teachings]

[Records of Personages]

Sir,

do you want to have meals or stay?

I have said that

Liao Dynasty’s secret agent won’t come here.

Don’t be so careful.

How do you know that?

Where do you hide your crossbow?

What do you want?

I wash my face.

Then why take off your clothes?

Isn’t it our home?

I change for a comfortable robe.

You can’t.

How about the night?

Sleep with your clothes on.

Can I sleep in another room?

No way.

What will you do?

Have a chat.

About what?

Put down your crossbow.

I want to chat with you sincerely.

There are too many ambushes here.

It is obvious.

We will act cautiously.

Now that the agent could come to Kaifeng,

it means he’s not ordinary.

I’m afraid he may find a flaw

and doesn’t come to me,

and then your plan will come to nothing.

So,

what’s your plan?

In order to get him hooked,

I should give him a chance to get close to me.

I could spend more time in strolling in the city.

It can reduce the possibility that he finds the ambush.

You actually care about the business.

I am one of Song people.

I definitely do my best.

In my opinion, you do this for the sake of 50,000 taels.

I…

Liao people will never

discover our deployment in the hotel.

Don’t worry about that.

Gosh!

Where does he come from?

From the behind.

You saw him?

I saw him.

You didn’t respond!

I nodded to him.

Wang Kuan,

we are kidnapped here.

We even don’t know if we could survive.

What’s more, an old man suddenly came out from behind the bookshelf.

You just nodded to him.

How did it happen?

How?

I wasn’t kidnapped.

I was led here by the girl.

So, I said it’s unfair.

You two don’t look flustered.

Don’t I look flustered?

Now that we are brought here,

people definitely will tell us something.

If so,

someone definitely will appear.

I have expected that.

There is no need to be flustered.

Who are you?

Do you know my dad?

Your father is Wei Zhuoran, the Grand Commandant

who takes charge of guards.

He is promising.

Then how dare you catch me?

I will ask my dad to kill you.

Your father doesn’t know I catch you.

But I know.

Who am I?

Who is he?

Answer my question.

If you can answer it,

you can go out.

What question?

Where is this place?

You kidnapped us.

But ask us about the place?

I was blindfold

all the way in.

How could I know where this place is?

Imperial palace.

How could you know that?

You weren’t blindfold?

Even I was blindfold,

I can calculate the distance and direction in my mind.

I also want to ask you

how you know that.

Starting the Nanxie Street,

the cart went westward,

and went through old Cao Gate,

Yulin Lane,

Guanyin Temple,

two Tianshui Lanes

and arrived at Imperial Street.

After that, the cart went northwards.

In terms of distance,

it passed through Xuande Tower.

And the cart went straight on,

then the destination will be Imperial Palace.

Even though this is the Imperial Palace,

do you know the detailed address?

You are making things difficult for him.

Chongwen Academy.

You know everything!

How do you know this is the Chongwen Academy?

Among those books,

there are the drafts of Zhang Sui’s Dayan Calendar

and Medical Science Teachings personally written by Sun Simiao.

Except Chongwen Academy,

no place is able to collect so many unique copies.

Amazing!

I am Lu Guannian,

in charge of Secret Repository for the moment.

Is this Secret Repository?

Exactly!

What is Secret Repository?

Secret Repository of Chongwen Academy

accommodates rare and unique books,

ancient paintings and scripts.

So, it is a library.

Privy Council and Central Secretariat plan

to establish a unique college

in the name of Secret Repository.

College?

I’ve never heard that.

Even in six ministries,

only a few officials know about it.

Now that it is a college,

what kind of students can be enrolled?

Since its establishment,

Secret Repository has been sending people

to select excellent young people,

bring those brilliant ones together

to Kaifeng

and cultivate talents for our state.

Guys,

do you want to join in us?

What’s the reason for its establishment?

Liao Dynasty in north casts covetous eyes on our state

and Xia power is rising sharply.

Behind the bustling scene,

our state actually

comes to a decisive moment.

The talents we select

sweep devils

and change the situation

in secret,

so as to suppress the evil

and keep the common people from harm

and disturbance.

All right, I’m in.

If so,

you will be removed from Imperial College.

It doesn’t matter.

You’ve performed so well.

You rank the first in each subject.

I thought you will pursue for wealth and honor

and select official career as everyone does.

I never thought I will get involved because of Yuan Zhongxin.

Conventionally, I ask you one more time.

It’s not late to regret.

It’s my honor to serve our state.

I should live upon to my youth.

Forget about me.

When selecting the talented people,

Secret Repository follows no set form.

There are both men and women in our college.

Both men and women?

The girl

who sent him in

is one member of Secret Repository?

She is our member.

I’m in.

Well,

is Zhao Jian one of your members?

Yes.

So, you test Yuan Zhongxin

before enrolling him?

His use is to find out Liao’s secret agent.

As for whether he will be enrolled or not,

it is controversial.

Why?

Maybe you don’t know

what kind of people

Yuan Zhongxin contacts with in private.

Have you seen Yuan Zhongxin?

Yes.

Does he still stay in the brothel?

He is in the hotel in the west now.

It’s easy to handle after we know his location.

When will you see him?

Imperial guards disguise themselves

as people in the hotel.

It’s easy to dress up,

but they can’t change their eyes and movements.

It is a trap, then!

Maybe.

If so,

I’ll write a letter back immediately

and suggest cancelling this meeting.

Why?

Isn’t it a trap?

Because of this, it is funny.

Do you plan to meet Yuan Zhongxin

despite their traps?

It’s not difficult.

Why do you

look worried?

I have eaten up my sweetmeats.

This shop’s sweetmeats are very nice.

If I had known it, I shouldn’t have killed the boss.

You killed people in the city?

By the way,

are there any shops of good sweetmeats

in Kaifeng?

Yes.

Let’s go.

Lead me there.

Fine.

Go!

I even don’t have a quilt.

You won’t catch a cold

with your clothes on.

Do me a favor.

How about giving me a pillow?

Keep away from me!

How many weapons do you have in this room?

Make a rule.

Don’t get close to me

at night.

Miss Zhao,

you seem to be on guard against me.

I am easily woke up

at night.

If you dare get close to me,

I’m afraid I will kill you accidentally.

Kill people in dream.

Do you think you are Cao Cao?

Miss Zhao,

you think I’m a bad person?

I know what you have done in the past.

Really?

What do you know?

Now that you have known,

why do you dare to stay with me in one room?

It is you who should be careful!

Step back!

Good dream!

[Tao’s Hotel]

Miss, look at those umbrellas.

They are cheap.

Miss, look at them.

You wake up.

Newly cooked noodles.

Do you want to have some?

Are you looking for this?

I’m afraid you will kill me at night,

so I played a trick on it.

Your ability of stealing things

really brings glory on your ancestors, uh?

Get up quickly!

It’s time to go out.

Why?

Didn’t I tell you yesterday?

Only strolling along the streets

can get the agent to take the bait.

For the sake of security,

[Pancake Shop]

we can’t be apart.

Here’s crowded.

We may fail if we take actions here.

If someone talks with you,

you must invite him to the hotel.

Don’t be nervous.

I don’t concern about

your life.

This shop’s pancakes taste very good.

Would you like to have a taste?

No need.

A pancake.

Yes, sir.

Be natural. I’ll take the pancake.

Miss, look at them.

Here you are.

Thanks.

Here. Have a taste.

No need.

It’s yummy.

Try it.

No need.

What do you think?

It really tastes good.

I said it’s very yummy.

Let me take a bite.

Just buy another one.

Go ahead.

Umbrellas!

Wait a minute.

Steady umbrellas!

Umbrellas!

Steady umbrellas.

[Ghostwrite letters]

Sir,

do you want me to ghostwrite

or copy paintings?

Can you write big characters?

Of course.

What do you

want me to write, sir?

[I’m here.]

“I’m here.”

The writings are just average.

I asked someone to write for me,

as long as it’s understandable.

Want some?

Too sweet.

I can’t withstand them.

The weather is hot in the northern region.

No sweetmeats can be found there.

When I leave Kaifeng,

I will load a cart full of sweetmeats.

Are you from the northern region?

My surname is Han.

I work in Liao’s Secret Agent Department.

Are you the secret agent?

You wrote the characters

for attracting me, didn’t you?

[Archway]

If you are available,

let’s stroll around.

Please lead the way.

Walk forward

and we will get previous Fengqiu Gate.

Teahouses and restaurants gather around here.

Are there better shops?

Better shops?

We just passed by

Li Si’s restaurant.

Its badger meat is perfect.

It can be eaten in the northern region.

In Jiuquzi ahead,

Zhou’s porridge is unique.

[Zhou’s porridge]

I’ve never had it.

Zhou’s shop is good at making southern food.

If you come here at night,

you can see a prosperous night fair.

You should try its stewed fish

and rice cakes.

Do you plan introduce food all the way?

There are too many people here.

Keep going northwards,

and we will get to the Zhoubei Fair.

If you don’t fear,

we can get down to the business there.

Childe Yuan,

just lead the way.

[Fair]

Here is the fair,

with many performances.

All plays that you can think

including puppet play,

storytelling

and shadow play

can be found here.

What a bustling scene!

It is a good thing.

Only in this way can we be safe.

Mr. Han,

if you’re afraid it is dangerous,

you can leave.

It is really interesting here.

It is more interesting at night.

In terms of prosperity,

the northern region can’t be compared with Kaifeng.

At night?

I’m afraid of ambushes at night.

Ambushes?

They are in the hotel.

Childe Yuan,

you have long known I would come to you.

Have you seen the girl beside me?

She told me that.

She deployed a trap in the hotel

and planned to get you hooked,

and capture you alive.

Why don’t you

follow her orders?

If I capture you,

what benefits can I get?

Now that you have figured it clearly,

what about this?

I help you save your brother.

After he is saved,

you persuade him

to serve Liao Dynasty with you.

I never say I will serve your state.

Do you want to go to Xia?

Why must I be a server?

We can cooperate with each other.

Each takes what he needs. Isn’t it good?

How?

Take the girl for an example.

Her name is Zhao Jian.

She is able to take command of imperial guards at a young age.

It means the power behind her

must be the greatest enemy

of Liao’s Secret Agent Department.

Zhao Jian?

I’ve never heard her name.

10,000 taels.

What?

10,000 taels?

I’ll bring Zhao Jian here tomorrow.

And then you can capture her alive.

After you succeed,

you pay me 10,000 taels.

I spend 10,000 taels in capturing a girl?

It’s too expensive.

Her background is very broad and sophisticated.

Don’t you want

to know your enemy?

Even though I capture her,

it’s possible to get nothing.

What you can get

is up to you.

If you frame her up,

don’t you be afraid that you will be get involved?

By that time, you give me several scapegoats

and I capture them.

And then I give them to the court

so as to close the case.

You’re playing double dealing.

If I make contributions,

I naturally have the way to save my brother.

If I get into the official circles,

I will have more chances

to help your state in the future.

If there are confidential information,

I will mark the price clearly.

It is that each takes what he needs.

Everybody is happy.

It’s a good idea.

But I’m afraid

you’ll set a trap.

I will bring Zhao Jian here at this time tomorrow.

Take this girl as the gift at our first meeting.

You can pay me 10,000 taels after you succeed.

Deal!

Childe Yuan ran away?!

Will he run out of Kaifeng?

Should we send more people to capture him?

I have applied to search him with all our strength.

But Dean Lu rejected me.

No need to search him.

He won’t run away.

Yuan Boqi is under arrest.

He is also removed by Imperial College.

In addition to the secret agent,

with his characters,

he may have freaked out

and ran away.

Yuan Zhongxin is obstinate and unruly.

He won’t run away.

At least not now.

Dean Lu,

I really don’t understand.

We could have supervised him in the dark

and waited for the Liao’s agent to show up.

Why did we tell him the truth?

Is it looking for troubles?

I want to see

what he would do.

He is so lazy and sluggish.

What could he do?

You have heard it just now.

This man is an agent from Liao’s Secret Agent Department.

It’s a big deal.

Because of 10,000 taels,

I get involved in the battle between Song and Liao.

It’s too dangerous.

There are another 50,000 taels.

Where is the money?

After we succeed,

it naturally will appear.

60,000 taels in total.

By then, each one of us gets half.

Half?

It’s not enough.

You take sixty percent?

I will have

all of the money.

Then why do I take the risks?

I don’t care about

your risks.

If you ask me for help,

it’s my offer.

I know you are greedy,

but you go too far.

If you think it not profitable,

just ask someone else for help.

It turns out that you have come back.

Where have you gone?

Wang’s meat shop.

I buy them especially for you.

Come inside.

There are so many people in the day.

I don’t know why we get separated.

I’ve looked for you all the day long,

but I failed.

I was very worried…

If I don’t dodge, I really will be dead.

Because I look for you for a long time,

I get worried.

I…

I got lost once.

You shot me once.

We are even now.

Liao’s agent appeared.

Go ahead.

Put down your crossbow.

Tell you the truth.

I really wanted to run out of Kaifeng in the day.

It’s not a good thing

for Liao’s agent to look for me.

It’s ordinary for people

to be afraid of death.

Can you understand?

After Yuan Zhongxin comes back,

no matter what he says,

you just listen to him.

Neither believe him too much,

nor doubt him too much.

It depends on you.

In a word,

make your plans

based on his plans.

It’s ordinary for people to be afraid of death.

Why do you come back?

On my half way,

someone was stalking me.

Who?

I couldn’t see him.

But he definitely was Liao’s agent

as you said.

So, you gave up running out of the city.

It’s a good thing that there are many people in the city.

If he really is Liao’s agent,

after you went out of the city,

you will be in imminent danger of death.

You think the same way as I do.

Our hearts are linked.

I will go out with you tomorrow,

to see who are stalking you.

But be careful of your identity.

Don’t get suspicious.

Don’t worry.

My identity as a famous prostitute

is well arranged.

No one can find any flaws.

I have sent people

to investigate that Zhao Jian.

We couldn’t find anything suspicious about her identity.

If Yuan Zhongxin doesn’t tell us,

we really will be swindled by her.

Is the money ready?

Sir,

10,000 taels is pretty large.

He is Yuan Boqi’s little brother.

The money is worth it.

In case that it’s a trap…

I’m afraid we spend money without avail.

How about sending more people tomorrow?

If it’s a trap,

more people will be captured.

I can handle it by myself.

It’s too dangerous.

If I fear that danger,

I should have stayed in Shangjing,

why did I choose to come to Kaifeng?

Don’t think too much.

We’ll see

Yuan Zhongxin’s tricks tomorrow.

It tastes good.

Good.

Give me some more.

How will we do?

We can’t wander through Kaifeng in one day.

You just walk as you did yesterday.

No one protests me.

Don’t look around.

Guards are hiding far away.

Why?

The agent may be good at tracing.

If guards follow us too closely, it’s easy to get exposed.

What will we do if we get in danger?

He wants to see you, not kill you.

If possible, take him back to the hotel.

If we must fight,

just hold on for fifteen minutes

and then the backup will arrive.

Fifteen minutes.

Deal with him attentively.

Fifteen minutes would be enough.

Yes,

it’s enough.

[Fair]

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Why bring me here?

You asked me to walk

as I did yesterday.

There are not many people here.

Miss,

there are many puppets plays at night.

If you are free,

you can have a fun here at night.

Now that it’s more bustling at night,

why ask for money in the day?

Puppets are consumed easily.

I only collect the money for wooden materials.

Go away.

Wait.

Wish you good luck!

You are kindhearted.

They are miserable people.

Unfortunately,

you only can save people for the moment,

but not all their life.
