Young Blood

Episode 13

[Crossbow Workshop]

[Jiqian, Room No. 1]

Chen Gong, Chen Gong!

See who are visiting you.

Chen Gong.

I’m coming. Stop knocking.

You will destroy my door sooner or later.

You just knock, knock, knock.

See!

Who are you?

You dare to ask for payment of debt in the Crossbow Workshop?

Uncle.

It’s me.

Don’t you even remember us?

I remember.

You are my nephew.

You are my niece.

Uncle,

our family asked us to give you a message.

Really?

Go inside.

You go inside.

According to the rules,

I wait for you at the gate.

I will send you away later.

Is two hours enough?

It won’t take that long time.

I don’t have so much to talk with my brother’s children.

Aren’t they your sister’s children?

How do they become your brother’s children?

That’s right.

They are my sister’s children.

That’s all right.

You go about your work.

You finally come.

I thought you are asking for payment of debt.

I freak out.

You can’t go out of the Crossbow Workshop.

How could you own a debt?

I owned before I become a crossbow technician.

Instructions on Six-sticks Gambling?

Do you know this book?

Of course.

Two gamblers.

Miss, do you know this book, too?

Soul mate!

Erotica?

Its author is well-known.

Corrupt public morals!

How could you read such a book?

Enough!

Get down to the business.

Do you know that we plan to take you away?

I know, I know.

But the Crossbow Workshop prohibits me from going out.

Pack your suitcase.

Rooms are safe.

Clear.

Why don’t imperial guards come here?

The general plan about how to transport Chen Gong

has been sent to Privy Council.

They can choose the right time

on their own.

We just need to wait.

We are only responsible for transporting Chen Gong here.

We won’t stay.

You needn’t clean it so carefully.

I’m idle.

Never mind.

They won’t come here so quickly, right?

We may have to wait.

I go buy something.

Buy something?

Hurry up!

Here.

28 feet or 38 feet?

Get out from here?

So high! I must die from falling.

We have measured on the scene.

Someone will catch you outside. We have measured the distance.

Don’t worry.

It’s well prepared.

You won’t get injured.

Are you sure? Seriously?

We are professional.

Here.

Come on.

No, no, no. Wait…

38 feet.

Here. This way, this way.

Is it right?

Right. Believe me. It must be right.

28 feet.

He’s all right.

He’s alive.

Go!

Are you finished?

Where is Chen Gong?

My uncle said that

he is tired because he gambled last night.

So, he has a rest.

Having such a relative really makes people feel troublesome.

See you.

All right.

Let’s go.

What’s wrong?

Why put quilts over there?

I remember the wrong distance.

He’s fine.

See.

He’s all right.

We send him away quickly.

I want to go back.

It’s too late.

Let’s go.

You go back first.

Are we not going to the mansion in the east of the city?

I go there with Yuan Zhongxin.

You can stay.

Wait!

Please rest assured.

I promise not to make mistakes this time.

I’m the section chief.

You have to follow my orders.

Go!

Go,

let’s go back.

No!

We follow them quietly.

Why?

We are the backup.

In case of an accident,

we can make contributions.

Section chief asked us to go back.

I’m the former section chief.

It’s right to listen to me.

Go.

Shall we catch up with them?

No hurry.

It’s safe to keep a distance.

Count to ten and go.

My waist gets hurt.

I have checked your bone.

It’s okay.

I guess it’s internal injury.

Or, you give me a hug?

What?

I think a hug…

A hug may make me recover more quickly.

It can recover more quickly this way.

It recovers.

It doesn’t hurt.

How long will we arrive?

Almost.

Miss,

you are so young.

Are you all imperial guards?

You’d better not

ask about our identity.

How old are you?

Do you get married?

I said don’t ask.

You don’t understand?

No.

I…

Are you all right?

We’re all right.

Stay in the cart.

What happened?

Forget it! Run quickly.

Let me go!

He… Help!

Help!

Those travelling merchants.

Go to help them.

Help!

That technician!

Go.

Follow that guy.

Don’t watch.

They two must win.

Go, go, go.

Be quickly!

Happy?

Surprise?

Who are you?

We just saved you.

You forget us so quickly.

Be quickly!

The mansion is in that direction.

Just follow my words.

This direction. Be quickly.

No!

You…

You…

You buy vegetables?

It’s noon. It’s almost the time for lunch.

I see there are firewood in the kitchen.

Food can be ready very soon.

After we fulfill our task, we can go back and eat.

No.

We should eat on time.

It’s good for our health.

I’m not capable.

I can’t fight, either.

I’m also not smart enough.

What I can do

is to make you be stuffed with food

and be happy every day.

It’s high noon.

They almost come back.

I wash vegetables.

Where is the technician?

Any food?

Why?

We fight all day long.

I’m exhausted.

You had a fight?

We were ambushed in the half way.

We got separated with the technician.

What shall we do?

Tell Dean Lu first.

Hide it.

We find him on our own.

No.

That matters a lot.

I must report it to Secret Repository.

We determined the route yesterday.

Except our members,

no one knows it.

Please tell me where these ambushes come from.

You’re worried that there is a traitor in Secret Repository?

I don’t know.

Prepare for the worst.

We find him on our own.

After find him,

consider what to do next.

How?

I have so many friends.

He can’t be lost.

Sir,

please enjoy your meal.

Here, Ying.

Here.

Ying,

attend to your friends.

Ying,

do you get used to living in Kaifeng?

Do you often change your clothes?

Yeah.

Hey,

stop being wordy!

Let them have a chat.

Sir,

we poke a fire

to boil water for you.

Let’s go.

Stay here longer.

Go.

Enjoy yourself.

Take your time.

You guys,

in such a situation,

are you in mood for eating?

It is very yummy.

Have a taste.

Come on!

Some people wanted to kill me just now.

I’m almost dead.

It’s true.

What’s your surname?

Chen.

Didn’t you escort me?

You even don’t know my surname?!

Yes,

you told me.

I forgot.

Here is the thing.

Chen,

no matter how serious it is,

we should glut ourselves with food.

Right?

Here.

Eat.

Fine.

Dead or alive, I should eat first.

It’s delicious.

What do you want?

I think…

How do you think?

Go ahead.

Wait.

Where will you go?

Eat your meal.

It is really delicious.

What the hell do you want?

I just realize that

we can’t say something in front of him.

I’m thinking that

Privy Council puts emphasis on him, right?

He’s very important, right?

Yes.

Let’s send him to the mansion.

You’re an idiot!

If we send him to the mansion,

the credit belongs to Zhao Jian

and Yuan Zhongxin.

So what?

So, I say you’re not as smart as I am.

In the prison camp last time,

we two had poor performance, right?

That’s right.

We may be driven away at any time, right?

What do we need to stay?

What?

Contributions.

We protect Chen for some time

privately.

Until everyone is anxious

and desperate,

we give them Chen.

Think it over.

What a great honor!

By that time,

great credit belongs to us.

But,

why?

Only you stay in Secret Repository,

can you keep this restaurant

and make your parents stay in Kaifeng, right?

You do all of this for the sake of me?

In fact,

I want to seek the limelight in front of my dad.

But I take your family into consideration first.

What if Yuan Zhongxin

reports it?

It’s better.

Chen was just gone.

Everyone in the city must have known it.

By that time,

we give them Chen.

We are heroes!

Does it really work?

You dare to doubt me!

It is so serious!

You dare to hide it from me!

How do you know that?

It’s so serious.

Do you think that you can succeed in keeping it from me?

Don’t blame all on Yuan Zhongxin.

We were ambushed in the half way.

It’s really strange.

So, you keep it from me.

Do you doubt me?

Please cease to be angry.

Our action was revealed.

As the section chief,

I’m willing

to be punished.

It’s not the right time to punish you.

We should make utmost efforts to find him.

Talk about it after we find Chen.

Our section must make upmost efforts to find him.

Your section!

The thing becomes more serious.

All imperial guards are searching him in the city.

What if we find him?

Hand him over to imperial guards, of course.

What if

Chen is controlled by others?

Kill them!

Don’t we ask them why?

They must be our enemies.

Do we need to ask them?

I think we should

check the escort route.

Only they know the route,

can they prepare an ambush.

Secret Repository, Privy Council and high-ranking officials in imperial army

all know about it.

One of them must leak the news.

They are all high-ranking officials.

It’s impossible.

Even so, we still need to investigate them.

There may be a big problem.

You can investigate.

But give priority to finding the technician.

He hasn’t finished

the design drawing for cannon.

The drawing can never fall in the hands of Liao and Xia.

Cannon?

That’s right.

Chen Gong designs it newly.

If it is finished,

the cannon-shot can be lengthened.

Our army can sweep away all obstacles.

There are mainly cavalrymen in Liao and Xia.

If they get the design drawing,

our state will be in danger.

I think the thing is getting more serious.

I never thought that Chen is so important.

How about handing him over?

Absolutely not.

If so, it shows that we hide him in private.

Didn’t we hide him in private?

No.

We should move Chen first.

For what?

This way, he can prove that

we protect him,

but not hide him in private.

You’re right.

We have done that.

Never be over-cautious and indecisive.

Let’s move Chen first.

And then hand him over.

We must take credit

for finding him.

What credit?

You eavesdropped on our conversation?

I didn’t.

I just passed by.

Eavesdropped what?

You heard nothing?

I heard you talking

about credit.

Yes,

I tell him

that we two will find Chen together

and take credit for finding him,

to make up for our mistakes

and guarantee that everyone is fine.

Good idea.

By the way,

we will have a meeting

and discuss on how to find him.

Join us.

Will we go?

Of course, why not?

Only we know ourselves and the enemy, can we win.

We’re here.

They have no possibility to find Chen.

Don’t worry. Let’s go.

First of all, we shall make sure that

Chen Gong is alive or not.

I’m afraid that he is dead.

He is certainly not dead.

You are right!

Really?

Chen Gong hasn’t finished the design drawing of cannon.

Before that,

he must be alive.

We still have chance to save him.

Exactly!

We take actions separately

and search him in the whole city.

What if he isn’t in the city?

He must be in the city.

How do you know?

I just say it casually.

You have sharp eyes.

Is he right?

Dean Lu has a wide range of contacts.

Immediately after we lost Chen, Dean Lu asked imperial guards to lock the city.

So, Chen may be still in the city.

Junior Wei, you are amazing.

But Kaifeng is so large.

We have only a few people.

How to search him?

Except temples,

hotels,

brothels

and several prosperous streets,

only several places are left.

Why not search these places?

There are too many people in temples,

including itinerant monks and Buddhists.

If he hides in there, it’s very easy to be found.

Everyone can think of hotels.

Imperial guards definitely search them.

Brothels are the same.

Imperial guards will search there.

In several prosperous streets

are old stores.

Once a stranger appears,

he will be recognized very easily.

So, he most likely hides in streets

with many strangers.

Or, in the newly-opened shops.

Grocery stores.

Restaurants.

All of these are possible.

Search them separately according to regions.

Each one is responsible for each region.

I’m responsible for the southern region.

You have another important task.

What task is more important than finding Chen?

You have to go home

and ask about your father by beating about the bush

whether imperial guards have made progress.

Well.

Let Xue Ying be responsible for the southern region.

Fine.

There is no difference.

Work harder

and strive for good results.

Fortunately, I’m alert.

Your restaurant is in the southern region.

You’re responsible for that region.

I feel relieved.

All right.

Rush to your restaurant.

Watch Chen.

Entertain him well.

What’s more,

persuade him to finish the drawing for cannon.

After the drawing is finished,

we hand it over.

It’s a great credit.

Won’t you go with me?

I have to do as they say

and seek information from my dad,

so as to prevent imperial guards from searching the southern region.

You are thoughtful.

And…

Remember

to treat him kindly and affably.

You should let him know

that we are good person,

we are helping him.

We are helping him, understand?

So,

don’t be serious all the time.

Come on!

Show me your smile.

Simile.

You smile like a ghost.

Grin.

Can you do it?

All right.

Think the happiest thing

in your life.

I have nothing happy.

I help you.

Relax.

Relax.

Relax.

That’s right. Very good. Right.

Curve your lips.

That’s it.

Squint your eyes.

Squint.

Good.

Teeth, teeth.

Open your mouth

and show your teeth.

That’s right.

Good.

Just like this.

Hold on.

Speak with Chen like this later.

And

remember to speak softly.

All right.

Go ahead.

It depends on you.

Go.

Zhao!

Zhao!

Zhao!

Why don’t you go?

I’m leaving.

But I see Junior Wei and Xue Ying.

What’s wrong with them?

They behave strangely.

I see Xue Ying smiling

at Junior Wei.

Xue Ying smiles at Junior Wei?

It’s impossible.

You must mistake them.

No.

In addition,

Junior Wei was touching Xue Ying’s face.

What did you hear them?

Nothing.

I was far away from them.

What’s more,

the scene is terrible.

I don’t want to know what they were talking about.

Forget about it.

Maybe they are stressful recently

You know nothing.

I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.

Let them do whatever they want to do.

I won’t ask them.

I see nothing.

Dad,

I plant some fruits for you,

no, send.

I’ll put them here.

Dad,

are you tired?

Let me pound your back.

It’s the map of Kaifeng.

It’s detailed.

What do you want?

Nothing.

I just care about you.

Care about what?

If there is nothing, leave here.

Dad,

what are you busy with?

Imperial guards are searching the city.

Search someone?

Any clues?

It’s still in progress.

Find nothing for the time being.

Whom are you searching?

So serious.

The technician of Crossbow Workshop.

It’s the one whom your section lost.

Our section…

What are you saying?

Don’t speak with a stammer.

If I disagree,

does Lu Guannian dare to accept you?

You know it?

So, you allow me to join in Secret Repository

and save Song?

If you are expected to save Song,

I’m afraid that Song has perished early.

I will deal with Secret Repository

personally.

After a few years,

it’s easier to transfer you to Privy Council.

His Majesty knows me?!

You seek information from me.

Because you help your classmates find Chen, right?

It’s me who want to find Chen Gong.

You?

I was a jerk in the past,

but I make much progress right now.

Progress?

If Yuan didn’t leave a room for manoeuvre,

you have been driven away last time in prison camp.

You know this?

I

don’t expect you to be promising.

Just stay in Secret Repository

and accumulate experience.

And then, I’ll transfer you to Privy Council.

I have to find you a job

that can feed you.

You always look down upon me.

I don’t look down upon you.

No one understands you better than me.

Wait and see.

Maybe

I can find Chen Gong.

What do you say?

[Wanfeng Noodles Soup]

-You’re back.-Uncle.

Is Xue Ying back?

He’s back.

[Wanfeng Noodles Soup]

Please.

Glad to see you, Junior Wei.

Don’t call me that.

I am of the same generation with Xue Ying.

In this way, I’m your adopted son.

I don’t deserve it.

Xue Ying said

that you are noble.

We are contented

that you make friends with him.

That’s right.

I’m not noble.

I’m the worst among us.

Where is Xue Ying?

He enters his room immediately after he goes back.

He doesn’t allow us to follow him.

Don’t worry.

That guy inside is also one of my friends.

Xue Ying is having a chat with him.

Really?

But your friend

sets up wild shrieks and howls.

That’s true.

What?

I go and check it.

It’s me.

Come inside.

You guy,

how do I offend you?

Chen,

what are you playing?

You’re finally back.

What’s wrong?

Here.

Come out.

I can come out.

Can you let him keep away from me?

What’s wrong?

Did he beat you?

If he beat me, that’s better.

Look at him!

His expression.

He does that all day long.

Come out.

What are you doing?

Didn’t you let me treat him kindly?

You must mistake

being kind.

Enough! Stop smiling.

I freak out.

Be normal.

Chen,

see.

He’s normal.

It’s fine.

Come out.

How do you feel?

Are you hungry?

A little.

Fine, that’s all right.

Wait a moment.

I go get some food for you.

Junior Wei.

Uncle, aunt.

My friend is hungry.

I want to trouble you to make a bowl of noodles soup.

No, no, no.

Family members don’t talk about money.

Noodles soup will be ready very soon.

Hey!

Hurry!

It will be ready very soon.

Why do we often eat noodles soup?

Doesn’t it delicious?

It tastes good.

That’s ok.

What information do you get from your dad?

My dad…

What dad?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Where will you go?

Nothing.

You go ahead.

Why hit him again?

He can’t hear something.

We can talk outside.

You’re right.

Forget it.

I have hit him anyway.

Let’s not take the trouble to go outside.

I’m telling you

my dad knows about Secret Repository and out section.

How does he know?

Maybe he is in contact with Lu Guannian.

But he doesn’t know we two hide Chen.

I saw his map.

He searches mainly the region

where Chen Gong disappeared.

They won’t focus on this region

for the moment.

Yuan Zhongxin and other people have their own regions.

They may not search here.

We can’t make sure that it’s safe.

Even though imperial guards don’t search,

Kaifeng government will search this region from door to door.

Or, we hand him over.

No.

Didn’t I tell you?

We should let him trust us.

Otherwise, after he goes back,

he would say we kidnapped him.

We will be over.

How should we do?

Make him happy.

Except leaving here,

he can get everything that he wants.

Then what?

Let him finish the drawing.

With the drawing in our hands,

we can take the initiative.

Hope that Yuan Zhongxin and other people

don’t find anything wrong.

It’s impossible.

We hide it very well.

They can never find it.

I think there’s something wrong with Xue Ying and Junior Wei.

Really?

When does Junior Wei behave normally?

Jing saw that he was touching Xue Ying’s face.

Is it true?

It’s true.

I’m unwilling to believe this at the beginning.

We act as nothing happens

and we know nothing.

Then observe them carefully later.

Do you call me out for telling me this?

It’s not your responsibility to search this region.

The Crossbow Workshop is ahead, right?

Humph!

We think the same way!

To find a person,

we’d better know him well.

At his residence,

we may get some clues.

Go together.

By the way,

we happen to think the same way today.

It’s unnecessary to tell them about it.

I think so, too.

Otherwise, they will gossip about us.

[Crossbow Workshop]

I remember you.

You’re Chen Gong’s nephew and niece.

That’s right.

We come to visit our uncle today.

Your uncle is gone.

Since you visited him last time,

not long after,

we found that he isn’t in his room.

All people are looking for him right now.

How does that happen?

Sir,

it has nothing to do with us.

I know.

I sent you out last time.

His disappearance must be none of your business.

What about this?

You leave an address.

Go back and wait for news.

If I get any news, I will notify you.

Can’t we check our uncle’s room?

He is our uncle, after all.

Maybe we can find his whereabouts.

If so, you will make contributions.

Wait!

You go inside after he leaves.

Someone comes to visit our uncle?

An imperial guard. He said that he came here to find clues.

You wait a moment.

If you go there right now, he must interrogate you.

For the sake of our uncle,

we accept their interrogation.

You go inside by yourselves.

The workshop is under strict control.

Don’t run about.

Thanks a lot.

Let’s go.

You go inside.

Wang Kuan!

Why do you come together?

That’s right. Why do we come together?

We happen to meet at the gate.

Right.

Why are you here?

Why did you say

that you are an imperial guard?

Isn’t the fake token

that I made incidentally when I made the false pass?

It seems authentic.

You said you never lie.

I didn’t lie. I didn’t make it.

Why did you tell the gatekeeper that you are an imperial guard?

I said nothing.

I just showed him this.

And they got out of the way.

You still cheated them.

You cheated them. You made the fake token.

Do you put the blame on me?

Enough! You even quarrel because of such a trivial matter.

Any findings?

I’ve asked the guide.

Chen Gong is greedy for money and leads a dissolute life.

But he has no friends.

It is said that he spends money lavishly.

Does he have family members?

Yes.

Who?

His nephew and niece visited him days ago.

It’s Zhao Jian and me.

I know.

Zhao Jian, you like kicking people at ordinary times.

He is so annoying. Why not beat him to death?

Stop squabbling!

Chen Gong has been here for about five years.

Except you, no one had visited him.

Is there anything strange?

Two.

Here.

You said two.

What’s the other one?

It is hidden under the pillow.

It’s not strange for a crossbow technician

to hide an arrow under his pillow.

Observe it.

No iron rusts.

From its fracture,

it’s been a long time.

But it is smooth.

Just like playing with jade. The more often it is fondled, the smoother it becomes.

It means that he has been fondling it all the time.

I guess so.

Look at the edge.

Blood.

In layers.

He kills people with this?

Or hurt people?

Who?

Wang Kuan,

you does do a great job.

Find the victim

and then we may find his secrets.

Look at his arms.

He was tortured.

With a dagger?

No,

a dagger is not so short.

It’s an arrow.

Arrow?!

It’s impossible.

A dagger may cause puncture wound.

But he has scratches.

It’s inconvenient to hurt people with an arrow.

It must be an arrow. I know weapons well.

Who did that?

Why not a dagger?

I don’t know.

It’s fine. I ask him.

What happened to me?

You felt sleepy and then fell asleep.

Fell asleep?

No, there must be something wrong with your noodles soup.

I fall asleep every time when I eat them.

And I also have a headache.

You just fell asleep. It’s a dream.

It’s nothing to do with the noodles soup.

Really?

Chen.

What happened

to your arms?

I gambled with other people.

Who dare scratch himself

can get money.

So, I did it…

Well,

we can’t stay here forever.

Let’s go to imperial guards, okay?

No.

Xia and Liao’s secret agents are scattering everywhere.

They are looking for you.

Really?

Are they so rampant in Kaifeng?

Not only that.

You think

why there is an ambush

on the escort route.

Why?

It shows that imperial guards may have leaked out the news.

No one is reliable.

You hide here these days.

Finish the design drawing.

After this thing is over

and you finish the drawing, we will send you back.

I have one question.

Who the hell are you?

Why did you save me?

We are from Secret Repository.

What is Secret Repository?

It is specially set up

to help people like you.

In a word,

you stay here happily.

If you need anything, just tell us.

When you are idle, finish your design drawing.

It is great.

Can I tell you if I need anything?

Anything.

I want to watch dancing.

No.

It’s very dangerous outside.

You can’t go out.

We can invite dancing girls here.

Good idea.

Who?

Dancing girls.

Where?

Here.

Absolutely not.
