Young Blood

Episode 7

I want to be the section chief.

But…

But Zhao Jian asked you to help her?

Yes.

How does Yuan Zhongxin go on with Zhao Jian?

Not very well.

If Zhao Jian becomes the section chief,

will she go against Yuan Zhongxin?

With Zhao’s temper,

she will.

Vice versa.

To keep them from holding back each other,

they two can’t be the section chief.

Well…

Do you want everyone to fight?

No.

Then here’s the option.

The section chief shall be

either you,

or me.

I can’t do that.

Then I must do it.

Only I can maintain the peace.

I’ll think about it.

Okay.

You may sit down.

Since no one wins,

how about this?

In the next five days’ lessons,

three teachers will teach you.

And they will

choose one of you

to be the section chief.

Okay.

First class for today.

Secrets of gangs.

Please come in.

Leave it to me.

Okay.

Who got into the prison?

Does anyone know the universal penalty?

Different penalties work for different crimes.

What do you mean universal?

Tattooing the face.

Exactly.

Whatever crime you make,

you have to be tattooed in the face.

Tattooed guy

has a tattoo on his face.

This originated from…

From…

The Zhou Dynasty.

Yes, the Zhou Dynasty.

Mostly done with cutters or needles.

But in our dynasty,

we only use needles.

A robber will be tattooed behind his ear.

[Thief]

A banished criminal

will be tattooed on the forehead.

All right.

I’ll write them down

so that you can remember them.

But I’m not your dad.

I don’t care if you can remember them.

I’m paid

to be your teacher.

I’ll teach you what I know

and write down them.

What are you waiting for? Get out!

To where?

The yard.

The teacher of tracing

is waiting in the yard.

Get out!

What do you want?

You sold me out?

I’m paid.

Big money always comes with enemies.

Pardon me.

You hate the government, don’t you?

Why did you accept the amnesty?

He controls my life.

I have to surrender.

Oh.

What does Lu Guannian

want us to do?

How do I know?

I’m your teacher.

But he always

trusts you most.

Okay. You don’t tell me, huh?

Hey.

Hurry up.

Sorry, Zhao.

I just feel Wang Kuan is right.

If he’s the chief, there’ll be no conflict.

As long as you think you’re right,

you don’t need to apologize.

Where is the teacher?

Look at the heating sun!

Just keep us waiting?

Take it easy, Junior.

After all…

[Scout]

You did a crime, too?

For your information,

I’m a tattooed soldier,

instead of a tattooed criminal.

Xin’an Army?

Yes.

Polu Army was established when our dynasty was founded.

In the past forty years since the Chanyuan Treaty,

it has been the best military force in borders

that always fought with Liao Dynasty?

Yes, you’re right.

But a soldier always

gets a designation tattoo.

Why do you have one of scout?

I used to be the best scout

in Xin’an Army.

Among one hundred thousand soldiers,

only I managed to get the tattoo.

Yue is my family name.

I don’t dare to tell you

my humble name.

Call me Instructor Yue.

Everyone, you’re all from

noble and rich families.

No offense,

but I want you to catch me in the yard.

What do you think?

We catch you?

And you can’t leave the yard?

Yes, you’re right.

Are you a man or a ghost?

Why don’t you try together?

Military swordplay?

You’re a child of military family?

Are you sure you can touch him?

He asked us to touch him.

But he didn’t say what we could use.

This is teaching, not fighting.

Did you need to be unscrupulous?

Sorry,

but I just want to win.

That was a good idea.

I lose.

I don’t think we can touch you.

You know, you have good foundations.

With some instructions,

you’ll make more progress soon.

I don’t believe you have no dust on you.

Let me check it.

I touched you!

You didn’t say “over”!

That was a nice deceit!

Yes, you’re right.

You win!

This is teaching, not fighting.

Did you need to be unscrupulous?

Sorry,

but I just want to win.

What are we doing?

To practice our speed, I think.

Guess we’ll get heavier burdens.

No more burdens.

This is the perfect weight.

Why?

The military has tried many times.

You won’t get a faster speed,

only by carrying more.

This is the perfect weight.

If you get more weight,

the passages on your legs might get hurt.

It will bring harm instead.

Aren’t we supposed to learn tracing?

Why must we practice this?

Footmark distinction.

Feces distinction.

Fighting trace distinction.

Hoof mark distinction.

You can’t learn them all

within five days.

In a limited time,

getting a better speed

is the most effective way.

Oh…

What do you mean faces distinction?

I’ve seen a lot of people.

I have a great memory.

[Section 7]

Keep trembling!

Keep trembling! All of you!

Just now,

I asked you to review

how ruffians eat,

how they drink,

and how they talk.

Oh, good! Good!

You must change the way

you used to behave.

And you must remember all tattooed details

to distinguish their crimes.

Come on.

I’ve wrote everything down.

Share it.

Remember it by heart!

Keep trembling.

You must look fierce!

Keep trembling!

Mm.

What a round moon!

People usually chat

before they get to the point.

All right. Let’s just get to the point.

Why do you want to be the section chief?

Neither you nor Zhao Jian is suitable.

I don’t want it.

I support Junior Wei.

He’s just your puppet.

He’ll take your orders.

See? You shouldn’t have known me that well.

Why did you bring me out?

Let me tell you a joke.

Xue Ying is a loser.

He can’t even read.

How do you know that?

The tattoo stuff…

I’m so familiar with it.

Then I looked around

and saw him holding the paper upside down.

He pretended he could read.

Practicing in the middle of night?

That’s hard work.

Mostly, criminals in our country

are transported to

prison camps in different towns.

Today,

let me tell you

how to behave in prison camps.

Why must we know that?

How do I know?

The dean made me.

It’s up to you if you’d like to listen.

Prison camps are full of unnoticed talents.

All kinds.

You can’t underestimate them.

Today, I’m going to teach you

how to protect yourselves in case of danger.

It’s said that

a scout is best at tracing and hiding.

Not really.

Close tracing may lead to traps.

Good hiding may get exposed, too.

Scouts, who weren’t good at self-protection,

have been all dead.

I’ll give the lesson today.

Isn’t he the…

Entrusted by Dean Lu,

I come to teach you martial arts.

The first lesson

hereby begins.

This is my class.

I’m Liang Zhu, officer of Xuanwu Army.

Well, I’m come back

after your class is over.

He just left?

Imperial guards are superior to garrisons.

Losing just once

made you frustrated?

Yuan Boqi won,

for the sake of the sword.

Even without the sword,

I wouldn’t defeat him, either.

But you wouldn’t have lost that fast.

What’s the difference?

Some of my students

need classes of punching skills.

And among them

is Yuan Zhongxin.

You decide how you shall teach them.

Keep them alive, at least.

I think

you all know who I am.

For a martial arts class,

actual combats work better.

Someone, come out to fight with me,

so that you’ll see it clearly.

Come out.

Me?

Officer Liang.

There are wooden figures in the yard.

For an actual combat,

will you fight with wooden figures, too?

Fight with me

and then you’ll see the details.

Come out.

Yes.

He’s right.

Choose whatever weapons you want.

I’ll have none.

You don’t use your knife?

Fear it might be broken again?

Choose your weapon!

I’ll use none, too.

Start.

Use all your power to defend.

But restrain some to attack.

If there’s a great disparity in strength,

just use some tricks.

Don’t slacken off when you outflank.

Leave no chance to your rivals.

Is he going to beat Zhongxin to death?

The balance is broken

and you fight casually.

Fight as violently as you can

and keep attacking your enemy.

Officer Liang.

With a great disparity in strength,

such teaching makes no sense.

Okay.

Fight with each other

and I’ll interpret.

You.

What’s your name?

Xue Ying.

Come and fight with him.

Yuan Zhongxin can no longer fight.

I’ll do it.

I’m the teacher.

I think he can still stick with it.

I can do it.

Don’t push yourself.

When problem comes,

we can’t get away.

Xue Ying attacks violently.

He doesn’t think about it,

and leave no room for his rivals to think.

Against such a rival,

defense isn’t the best choice.

Yuan Zhongxin was wrong at the first step.

And he failed to fight back strongly enough.

If he punched back earlier,

there would have been hope.

He’s injured.

A fight

always happens suddenly.

Who can guarantee that

he’s always in the best state?

But my brother still defeated you

when he was injured.

Why are you still distracted?

You will lose.

How long have I slept?

The whole day and night.

Where are they?

Still in a class.

I applied the medication to you.

Don’t move.

Have some porridge.

Do you have unrequited love for me?

Or why are you taking care of me?

Do you think I want it?

Dean.

Why must I take care of Yuan Zhongxin?

He’s badly hurt.

Someone should be taking care of him.

But Wang Kuan can do that?

A man can’t be careful enough.

Jing… Jing can help, too.

I know you don’t get on well with Yuan Zhongxin.

I ask you to take care of him.

I mean giving you a chance

to get on well.

I don’t think it’s necessary.

If you don’t even want to take care of him,

how can you leave your back to each other

in a desperate fight?

Orders are superior to emotions.

You should understand.

Oh, so Dean Lu asked you.

You can leave.

I don’t need you.

I’ll stay, anyway.

This is an order.

Even if you don’t want it?

Focus on your porridge.

Does staying in Secret Repository

really matter to you?

This is my only way.

What?

If you leave here,

what will you do?

Let me think about it.

Maybe…

I’ll go to see my brother.

Or just run a shop

somewhere else

and live a casual life.

Or I’ll just take the imperial examination.

So, you have many ways

for your future.

But I have only one way.

As a girl,

if I don’t stay here,

I’ll have to get married and grow old.

Then I must live a dependent life.

You don’t want it?

No, I don’t want it.

I must live for myself.

No academy accepts girls,

except Secret Repository.

This is my only hope.

I can understand.

You don’t need to.

I just want to tell you.

There’s no turning back for me.

So…

Don’t stand in my way.

I’ll spare no effort.

It’s getting late.

Aren’t you leaving?

I’m asked to take care of him.

But you can’t sleep here.

Mind your own business!

I really envy you.

Tell me.

If I get hurt,

will the dean ask Jing to take care of me?

Try it.

No, it hurts.

Junior.

What?

Can you do me a favor?

What?

Could you help me to the toilet?

You want me to get you to the toilet?

What are you thinking?

In your dreams!

All right. I’ll go with you.

It’s not okay.

Why isn’t it?

What are you doing?

What makes you so shy?

Junior!

All right.

Let me help you.

You really have luck.

You go to the toilet with my help!

I’m even jealous of you.

Well, I have something else to ask you.

Only in this place

are we really alone.

So what?

Junior, tell me.

Do you still want to be the section chief?

Sure, I do.

But teachers make the choice.

I don’t think I can make it.

Who do the teachers like?

Old Thief likes Zhao Jian.

Instructor Yue often praises Wang Kuan.

Liang Zhu prefers Xue Ying.

But he’ll choose Wang Kuan, I guess.

You heard what Yuan Zhongxin said.

Let me tell you a joke.

Xue Ying is a loser.

He can’t even read.

This is everything

Old Thief taught us.

Let me explain it to you.

Let’s start from the first class.

Thank you.

You should thank Yuan Zhongxin.

He realized you couldn’t read.

But he told others

as a joke.

If it was a joke,

why did he only tell me?

No one else knew.

He knows I like helping others.

He told me deliberately

so that I could help you.

You just guessed it.

I know him.

He isn’t a bad guy.

What if I can make you the section chief?

No way.

How?

Come closer.

As long as you tell Liang Zhu that you don’t like me,

he’ll certainly make you the section chief

so that I’ll suffer more

in the daily training.

That simple?

Why don’t you just have a try?

You’re right.

I can try.

Junior. Junior.

Come over.

Yuan Zhongxin.

Yuan Zhongxin.

Don’t scare me.

Want Kuan said

you wanted to help me.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Did he tell you anything about me?

What?

You didn’t tell others.

If you really wanted to mock at me,

she should have known it.

Especially after I punched you.

You still told no one else.

Sorry.

I was wrong.

What did he mean?

No idea.

Sleepwalking, I guess.

Get back to sleep.

Just get to sleep.

Five days has passed.

Before giving you the order,

we have something else to do.

I mean, choosing the section chief.

What do you think, teachers?

Zhao Jian can draw inferences.

Wang Kuan has encyclopedic knowledge.

They’re good students.

So, I recommend

Junior Wei.

I want to be the section chief!

You?

In terms of jumping,

Zhao Jian does the best.

Wang Kuan does the details well.

Generally speaking,

I choose Junior Wei, too.

I want nothing else,

but a section chief.

What do you mean?

I don’t get on well with Yuan Zhongxin.

I’m glad you punched him.

This is just your reward.

You hate Yuan Zhongxin, too?

So do I.

I recommend Junior Wei.

Okay.

Since you made the same choice,

so be it.

From now on,

the chief of Section 7

will be Junior Wei.

All right.

You may leave, teachers.

Next, I’ll tell you what you’re going to do.

Dean.

May I say something?

Yes.

Whatever we have to do next,

Yuan Zhongxin is injured.

Let’s pass him over.

You made sense.

Yuan Zhongxin.

Stay and get recovered.

Zhao Jian.

Stay and take care of him.

Well, here’s an easy task for you.

Not long ago,

a secret agent died in prison camp.

He died,

but a secret letter has been missing.

You will go there

and get the letter back.

The prison camp is where criminals are kept.

Send them away

and let us search it carefully.

I think we can make it.

No prisoners can be sent away.

Because you must do it secretly.

You’ll have to sneak into the prison camp,

disguise as criminals,

and get the secret letter back.

Why?

I’ll explain to you later.

Now…

Go with me

and finish the tattoo.

Tattoo?

A fake one.

Not a real one.

Stop!

You made Junior the section chief,

didn’t you?

Get out of my way.

I’m starving, even if you aren’t.

You know

he isn’t a good choice

for the section chief.

Why did you choose him as the chief?

So that I can easily influence him

and instigate him.
