Young Blood

Episode 12

Still awake?

So are you!

I don’t think Ding Er is an ordinary guy.

He has gone back to Xia.

You might not see him again.

But somehow, I feel

we might still

run into him.

Maybe he’ll be our archenemy.

So be it.

I’ll be waiting for him.

You haven’t answered me yet.

Why did you say you wouldn’t give me to him?

Who are you to me?

I’m kind of sleepy.

Go get some sleep.

Your dorm is over there.

[Section 7]

Listen carefully.

Get in when your name is called.

Others shall wait out there.

Why must we get in one by one?

Jing.

You don’t understand our culture.

You know the reason?

It happened again and again

in the long history.

Last words before he dies.

The dean is going to die?

You believe him?

Jing.

Get in first.

It’s okay.

Okay, Jing.

What happened in the prison camp

has come to an end.

I ask to meet you alone,

because I want to hear

what you think of the experience.

What do you mean?

Who made the most contributions?

And who made the fewest?

Tell the truth.

This is a private conversation.

No one else will hear you.

In the prison camp,

Zhao and Yuan Zhongxin

made the most contributions.

Without them,

we would still have been trapped in the cave.

Go on.

I made

the fewest contributions.

I did nothing,

but got trapped in the cave.

Exclude yourself.

Who did the fewest contributions?

Answer me.

Where’s Zhao Jian?

No idea.

Ridiculous!

Xue Ying.

Dean Lu called you.

Jing, what are you doing?

Sorry.

For what?

You’ll know.

Zhao Jian

made the most contributions.

Junior Wei

made the fewest.

Why him?

He was recognized as soon as he went there.

He did nothing.

Who made the most contributions?

Yuan Zhongxin!

Who made the fewest?

Xue Ying!

Why him?

He was the strongest.

But he failed to protect Wang Kuan or Jing.

Jing picked me?

Jing!

Who made the most contributions?

Yuan Zhongxin and Zhao Jian.

Who made the fewest?

I don’t think so.

Be specific.

We all made mistakes

and had some accidents.

It doesn’t mean incompetence.

We just lacked experience.

Let alone this.

You must pick one.

I can’t.

This is an order.

Me.

I’ve said that.

Exclude yourself.

Answer me, or you’ll be expelled.

A man behaves in a fair way.

He shouldn’t be interfered

by anything else.

I won’t answer.

Seriously?

Answer my questions.

Who made the most contributions?

Zhao Jian.

I thought you would say your own name.

No. No.

I’m a modest guy.

Who made the fewest contribution?

Dean.

Who was picked most

by now?

I think…

Answer me and you’ll have my answer.

Come in.

Here comes the funniest part.

Privy Council isn’t satisfied

with what happened in the prison camp.

But we suppressed the rebellion!

Ding Er ran away.

Besides,

you could have

sent the message in advance.

But you flaunted yourselves.

If you hadn’t,

there wouldn’t have been a rebellion.

And you…

You thought you made contributions.

Judged from the result,

you made a mistake as Zhao Jian did.

But you two behaved better.

Since you made mistakes,

you shall be punished.

Privy Council gave a simple requirement.

One of you must be fired.

I asked you to choose the worst one

and he will have to leave.

Xue Ying.

Junior Wei.

Two votes for either of you.

You have the same votes.

Dean Lu.

You didn’t say that.

Junior Wei.

Sorry.

Forget it.

I don’t like girls crying.

We have the same votes.

No one shall leave, huh?

Really?

No exception.

One of you must leave.

You two can negotiate on

who shall leave.

You want us to fight each other?

Do you think I’ll fall for it?

Is this what you’re trying to put?

Exactly.

I think

neither of us shall leave.

What about you?

Nothing to say?

Let’s draw lots then.

All right.

Anyway, we must be loyal.

Junior Wei should leave.

In the outer camp,

I fought with enemies.

But Junior Wei did nothing.

He didn’t help at all.

If someone has to leave,

it should be him.

Xue Ying!

How dare you!

What did you say?

I should leave?

You should!

I should leave?

Junior Wei.

Are you serious?

Calm down!

Stop!

It’s the deal, then.

Junior Wei will leave us.

After he leaves,

you’ll choose another section chief.

Wait!

I’ll ask my dad to punish you!

And you!

Walk him out!

Save your breath!

I’ll walk myself.

Wait a minute.

What do you want?

Dean.

Have you had enough fun?

What?

You think I’m sounding you out?

Don’t fancy yourself clever.

One question.

One of us must be expelled,

because we made mistakes

for the prison camp incident, right?

Exactly.

If we really make contributions,

shall we not be punished?

Are you going to make up contributions

with a clever talk?

Dean Lu.

Please come out with me then.

What tricks are you playing?

Come out and you’ll see.

Oh, you should come, too.

Remember to bring your weapons.

Yuan Zhongxin.

Are you going to

show us around the city?

Dean.

Be patient.

[Hengxin Dyehouse]

There we are.

Here?

Come out.

Zhao?

Hello, Dean Lu.

Zhao Jian?

Zhao!

Are they all in?

Yes, they are.

Everybody, rush in!

Catch whoever you can see.

Don’t let go of anyone.

Liao agents!

Wait. Wait.

What the hell are you doing?

You haven’t told him yet?

I’ll explain now.

This is a stronghold for Liao’s secret agents.

Dean.

Do you think we should catch them?

Xue Ying.

Keep some alive!

Are you ready?

I want five.

No more nonsense.

Go!

Go without me!

I’ll be waiting for imperial guards.

Dean Lu.

Go!

Do we make contributions

by catching Liao agents, Dean?

How did you know this place?

Someone led the way.

No way?

Yuan Zhongxin.

You tricked me!

What the hell is going on?

In the cave of the prison camp,

you told me

how you met the Liao’s secret agent.

Do you remember?

Yes.

Dried shrimps!

This is one of boatmen’s skills.

The dirty thing you just mentioned

can make the dried shrimps new and fresh.

After they’re washed with clean water

and sold to restaurants,

the price will be doubled.

Like a magic.

So,

Ms. Su knew Feng Zhu.

Because he was a stool cleaner

and he could get the dirty thing?

She was lying.

She made up the dried shrimp thing?

Not that.

But there’s a big loophole

in that story.

Didn’t you realize it?

There were twenty thousand boatmen.

Did she still need to buy feces from a stool cleaner?

Then why did you say that?

What else should I say?

Shall I say

she’s in a relationship with the secret agent?

If I did,

we would have been killed in the cave.

Uh…

Wang Kuan found this.

It belonged to Feng Zhu?

I found it in Feng Zhu’s cell.

It’s yours, huh?

He has your girdle.

He must be close to you.

From then on, I suspected

you were in a relationship with the secret agent.

Then why was she imprisoned?

She must have

figured out Feng Zhu was from Liao Dynasty.

Then Feng Zhu charged them

with delivering untaxed salt.

Then why didn’t they tell the truth?

They could hardly disassociate themselves

after a long-term cooperation with Liao people.

Besides, the guilt of delivering untaxed salt

was better than rebellion.

Later, Feng Zhu was imprisoned.

You killed him with cruel torture,

for the secret letter, huh?

Then you killed many other guys from Liao Dynasty.

I guess you want only one thing.

To find out their stronghold.

Since she had known the stronghold,

why didn’t she tell us?

She would have atoned for her crimes.

What benefits can she get then?

But what can she get by contacting Liao people?

She can do business.

This is the list of crossbow technicians.

The secret letter, I mean.

Haven’t it been burned?

She copied one

for trades.

Since she was in a relationship with the secret agent,

why did she kill him?

How can love

matter more than money?

If you want more benefits,

you have to kill people.

Right, Ms. Su?

But you’re from the Song Dynasty, aren’t you?

If the emperor hadn’t ruined my family,

why would I have given up my original identity

and been the Dragon King of water transport?

Whoever feels aggrieved

thinks he’s right.

I’m not interested in such reasons.

You’ve been keeping an eye on her

after leaving the prison camp?

Zhao Jian has.

When Ms. Su thought it was safe,

she came out for trade.

Then we found the stronghold.

By now,

I guess the prison camp incident

is almost finished.

Dean.

Did we make contributions?

Can you stop

firing us?

Why didn’t you tell me

such an important thing?

You pushed me to the prison camp

and almost killed me.

I’m narrow-minded.

I think it’s okay to trick you.

And you cooperate with him?

Dean.

We’re supposed to

take care of prison camp thing.

We can decide

how we deal with it.

Junior Wei can stay.

But listen…

If you make another mistake,

you’ll still be punished.

Xue Ying will make mistakes next time!

You can stay.

But you can no longer be the section chief.

Who else will be?

Do you need to ask?

Okay.

That’s a deal then.

Zhao Jian.

You’ll be the section chief.

Bring them back.

Section 7 did a great job this time.

You’ll have a few days off.

Finally, we’re fine.

Let’s go.

I haven’t been home for days.

I’ll go tell my dad.

Junior Wei.

Still angry?

I’ve told you.

I’m not angry with you!

I just don’t like someone.

Chief.

Let’s go.

Why are you here?

What?

You’re going home?

What?

Can’t I?

Your job

and details of Secret Repository.

Don’t tell your families.

Why?

We’re secret workers.

We must hide our identities.

If your families know what you do,

they’ll get involved.

Okay, then.

Why did you ask us to pick?

Secret workers

can’t even trust people around them.

I think

you should know it.

[Mansion of Grand Commandant]

You haven’t been home for days.

What troubles did you make again?

I made no trouble!

Did you do something serious?

I really did!

What is it then?

Tell me about it.

I…

I can’t tell you.

Fail to make it up?

I know you well.

You’ll

sooner or later ruin our family.

My Lord.

Leave me.

I’ll dress you down later.

Junior Wei.

No one respects me!

Wait!

I’ll do something amazing

one day!

Xue Ying.

Are you asleep?

Don’t take it personally.

It wasn’t not your fault.

I think he’s asleep.

I know Dean Lu wants us

to learn to suspect our friends.

But I don’t think he makes sense.

Even if we do secret jobs,

we should think positively.

If we don’t trust each other,

how can we survive the suspicions?

It’s not easy to trust others.

You and Zhao Jian are doing a great job.

What do you mean?

Look!

You did good teamwork

when you worked.

You’ve changed.

No.

That was just coincidence.

We have no tacit understanding.

What are you angry at?

I’m not.

It’s getting late.

Go to sleep.

Jing.

It’s so virtuous of you.

Washing clothes for us?

You’re back?

I’ve said that.

I’m not angry with you.

Come.

Smile!

Come with me.

What for?

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Don’t worry.

I won’t punch you.

I’m scared of you?

What a joke!

Where are we going?

Go!

Junior Wei.

Don’t worry.

It’s okay.

I’ll be right back.

What?

Realize you’re a mean guy

and want to apologize?

Want to chop me?

Come on.

As you wish.

If I ever blink,

shame on me.

Do it!

What?

Chop me!

I won’t fight back.

You’re angry.

Just chop me,

however many times as you want.

But please keep me alive.

Tell me about it.

Why must you expel me?

I don’t mean to expel you.

But I have to stay.

Why must you stay?

Don’t bother about it.

Just chop me to feel better.

No way.

I can’t, unless I know the reason.

Tell me.

Why must you stay in the Secret Repository?

You can’t tell anyone else.

Tell me the reason

and I’ll think about it.

Come with me.

Xue Ying. Xue Ying.

Where are you going again?

[Wanfeng Noodles Soup]

[Wanfeng Noodles Soup]

What?

Buy me noodles soup?

It won’t help.

I’m vindictive.

Sir.

Come in, please.

Come in, please.

Sir?

Boss.

They are my parents.

See you, guests.

I’m a child of military family.

My father is the solider.

He doesn’t look like one.

He has been a coward.

He can’t be a real soldier.

How can you say that?

He doesn’t dare to fight battles.

And he doesn’t even dare to use a sword.

Do you think he’s a real soldier?

Why do you show me your parents?

My father and I were in Xuanyi Army, Hebei.

Hebei?

That’s a desolate place.

Since born, no soldiers shall leave his home.

They shall never leave

unless for wars.

Then why are you in Kaifeng?

That’s why I joined the Secret Repository.

So that they could stop being soldiers.

Dean Lu helped my parents

run the restaurant in Kaifeng.

My father is always a coward.

I want him to live in peace then.

So…

I must stay in the Secret Repository.

If I’m fired,

they’ll be sent back to Hebei.

Our family,

for generations,

will never get rid of the military identity.

I don’t want my son

to join the army

and have the tattoo on his hand.

He’ll have no future.

Chop me.

I’ve told you the reason.

I’m too mean

to be forgiven.

Just chop me to make yourself better.

You know nothing, but chop people!

Be polite, will you?

Your soup burned my tongue!

What will you do?

Sir.

Please let go of us.

We’re doing small business.

Yeah. Sir.

Then you dare to trick me?

Sir!

[Runner]

Stop smashing things!

I’ll make it up to you!

Hurry!

I’ll make it up to you!

Can you even bear that?

He’s always compromising,

like that.

He does nothing, but to give in.

Are you paying a beggar?

Who dared to kick me?

Junior Wei?

Kneel!

Sorry, I failed to recognize you.

Sorry, I offended you!

I’m sorry!

Just apologize?

Take the money, please!

No. No. No.

Take it!

I can’t!

I dare not!

If you don’t,

he’ll hurt me more!

It’s okay!

Take it.

Please take it!

Take it. Take it.

No. No.

It’s too much!

It’s not much!

I deserve it!

Junior Wei.

I’ll let you go this time.

Come for revenge if you dare!

No, I don’t!

However brave I am,

I don’t dare to come again!

You are?

Uncle.

Aunt.

I’m Xue Ying’s friend.

Awesome!

Xue Ying.

Ask him to stay for some soup.

No.

We have business. Go!

Why not?

I’m starving!

Yeah.

Honey.

Go get two bowls of soup.

Put more meat.

You're telling me!

Please sit down!

Xue Ying.

Sit down.

Come. Sit down.

Sit down.

The soup will be right away.

Thank you.

I wouldn’t have forgiven you

so easily.

But for the sake of your parents,

I’ll take the soup as an apology.

Here.

Here is your soup.

It smells great!

Thank you!

Honey.

Leave them alone.

Let’s go.

Enjoy yourselves.

Enjoy yourselves.

I think your father is nice to you.

He’s better than mine.

My dad is always foam with rage.

He thinks I’m useless.

Thank you.

All right.

Come on.

Cheers and we’re friends again.

Enjoy it.

It tastes great!

Do you know

why our troops are strong?

Crossbows.

Exactly.

Crossbows!

Strong crossbows

have always been our pride.

And they make enemies tremble with fear.

So, Liao agents

wanted the list of crossbow technicians.

Luckily, we stopped them.

But this isn’t an end.

We caught the agents, didn’t we?

We’ve checked where Feng Zhu lived.

He not only made a list of crossbow technicians,

but also paid great attention

to one of them.

He’s Chen Gong.

He’s a talented technician

ever appeared in our workshop

over all these years.

Liao is interested in him?

Even Xia casts a greedy eye on him.

We should be more alert.

Exactly.

The Crossbow Workshop is no longer safe.

Privy Council has decided

to transfer him to the east of the city

for individual protection.

And this is your new mission.

We’ll protect him?

No.

What you have to do

is to take him secretly out of the Crossbow Workshop,

send him to the mansion in the east

and hand him to imperial guards.

Any questions?

Why don’t the imperial guards

deliver him directly?

Good question.

First,

imperial guards are catchy.

They’ll be easily tracked down.

Besides,

on the list you took back,

some technicians

have been protected by imperial guards.

Normally,

even the agent worked as a stool cleaner,

he shouldn’t have figured out the technicians.

What do you mean?

I don’t understand.

He means

some imperial guards might have colluded with Liao agents.

No way.

Nothing can be wrong with imperial guards.

It doesn’t concern you.

What you have to do

is to secretly send Chen Gong

to the mansion in the east of the city.

Loyal imperial guards will protect him.

Just send him there.

Secretly send him?

So, we can’t tell others who we are?

Yes.

You can’t send him

in the name of the Secret Repository.

You shall tell no one about its existence.

Then how could we

take him away from the Crossbow Workshop?

It’s your problem.

Think about it yourselves.

Do Chen Gong and Crossbow Workshop know us?

Crossbow Workshop doesn’t.

But Chen Gong said

he would cooperate with you.

Let me remind you.

Crossbow Workshop won’t let Chen Gong go!

As for the implementation,

think carefully about it.

Any more questions?

Can I quit?

You’re clear of the mission.

The problem is

how we can meet Chen Gong

and get him out of Crossbow Workshop.

I understand everything.

But may I interrupt you

and ask a question?

Why did you tie me up?

This is a mission for Section 7.

Everyone must be involved.

Okay.

I will join you,

on the premise that you let go of me.

I swear, by my personality.

All right.

I don’t think it’s hard to see Chen Gong.

Just pretend to be his relatives.

The point is how we can get him out.

Exactly.

That’s complicated.

And we’ll easily

be mistaken as spies.

Maybe we’ll even risk our lives.

So, I think

for this mission…

I’m not going to join you!

I’ve sworn by my personality!

[Crossbow Workshop]

This is a restricted area.

You can’t get in.

We come to visit our uncle.

Who is your uncle?

Chen Gong.

How can you prove

Chen Gong is really your uncle.

This is the pass.

Our deputy governor is the guarantor.

[Pass]

[Yanggu Deputy Governor]

Chen Gong is the first-grade technician.

He can’t leave here at will.

I’ll take you to him.

But you can’t stay overnight.

Okay. Okay.

Let’s go.

How long did we say yesterday?

My mission is to drive the cart here.

Measuring is your mission, isn’t it?

You didn’t hear it?

I did. I did.

I think it’s almost…

here.

Are you sure?

Yes!

How can I get it wrong?

Hey.

You know what?

We must complete the mission carefully.

Or we may really get fired.

We’re lucky.

We work with Yuan Zhongxin and Zhao Jian.

There’s a chance to make contributions.

Wang Kuan and Jing are going to

check the mansion in the east of the city.

They’ll just clean it up.

And wait

until we arrive.

Servants can do the cleaning work.

It’s far less important!

Isn’t it?
