Young Blood

Episode 14

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.

It’s okay.

Take it easy.

Come here.

Uh…

It’s okay.

Didn’t I tell you?

We must make him trust us.

How can I explain to my father?

We haven’t decided it yet.

Let’s think it over.

[Wanfeng Noodles Soup]

Open the door.

Open the door.

It might be imperial guards.

I can’t show up.

Or they’ll tell my dad.

Open the door.

Stay with him!

I’ll go.

Be careful.

Don't act on impulse!

I see.

Where shall we go next?

No other clues in the room.

We have nowhere to go.

What do you think?

Let’s go to the music hall.

Let me finish.

This is a bellyband.

I got it from Chen Gong’s room.

It’s a clue.

Clue!

Still talking nonsense, huh?

This is a real clue!

It’s from Xiuxiang House.

Xiuxiang House?

A music hall.

All bellybands in Chen Gong’s room

are from Xiuxiang House.

He must be a regular customer.

How can you be sure?

Look.

Look at the lines.

Only bellybands in Xiuxiang House have such lines.

And you know that?

Old Thief taught me details about

music halls and gangs.

Eagle eyes help to make money, he said.

Ask him if you don’t believe me.

It’s true.

See?

How do you know?

In the Imperial College,

you used to study

bellybands and girdles.

I saw that!

Ridiculous!

Unfortunately,

the teacher confiscated them.

You told on me?

Yes.

You were going too far!

Didn’t you understand I was learning?

I didn’t understand.

All right.

Stop arguing.

Since it’s a clue.

let’s go and check

Xiuxiang House.

I think you two should go there.

I have some other business.

You have other clues?

None of your business.

Wait.

Why should I

go to the music hall with him?

That’s where you worked together

for the first time, isn’t it?

You had a tacit understanding.

We were pretending!

Don’t care too much for that.

For what?

Aren’t you engaged?

What does that concern?

We may talk about it

after we find Chen Gong.

No need.

We’re no longer engaged.

We’re still engaged

unless I visit your father and cancel it.

That’s the etiquette.

Visit my father?

That’s the tradition, isn’t it?

No way.

You can’t see my father.

Why?

He urges me to get married!

You can’t give him the chance.

He thinks no one wants to marry you?

What does it concern you?

We’re just chatting.

I will visit your father.

We can discuss

when and how I’ll go.

See you.

Where are you going?

He didn’t answer.

There must be something fishy.

Wang Kuan knows how far to go.

I don’t worry about that.

Let’s hurry, then.

Go.

Your father…

He can marry you to anyone?

I’m trying to help!

Why don’t you lie to him that

you’ve married?

With whom?

I…

I think…

Wang Kuan, Xue Ying or Junior Wei

all can help.

What took you so long?

I’m too old

to hear clearly.

Sir.

What do you want?

It’s the daytime.

But you’re closed.

Want no more business?

Oh.

My wife is sick.

One day off.

Have you seen

anyone suspicious?

No.

We don’t go out often.

Honey.

We have visitors?

Sir.

Didn’t you say your wife was sick?

Get in and search!

All rooms!

Yes.

A cat in the yard.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

He’s my son!

Why is he smashing things then?

They don’t give me any money.

What money?

Sir, reason us out.

I’m the single son.

Shouldn’t I inherit the properties?

I just asked for some pocket money.

But they refused to give me any.

They’re merciless.

So am I!

If he doesn’t give me money,

I’ll smash the shop.

Bastard!

Son!

Son!

What a bad son!

Why do you still care for him?

Sir.

Sir.

Don’t get angry.

A kind mother always spoils a son!

It’s your fault

to have spoilt him.

Yes. Yes.

Sir.

You’re right.

But you have no idea.

He’s just losing his mind today!

He’s a good son!

If you keep spoiling him,

you’ll have to suffer.

Don’t get angry.

If he fights you someday,

come to me.

Yes. Yes.

No.

No. Thank you, sir.

Let’s go.

Are you all right?

Awesome!

Uncle. Aunt.

Looks like you really were quarreling.

They used to do that

to get rid of military service.

I’ll pay for the jars.

Ying.

It’s not a problem.

Don’t mention it.

Excuse me. Did you see one guy?

He’s like this tall.

Very fat.

Like this.

That’s how he walks.

Did you see him?

Wang?

Did you find Chen Gong?

Yuan Zhongxin and Zhao Jian have a clue.

They’re tracking it down.

May I help?

I thought about it.

Chen Gong was kidnapped.

The point is

the route was leaked.

Jing.

You left that day.

You suspected me?

No.

I trust you.

But I’m worried if someone asked you

when you bought vegetables.

Do you have time?

Let’s follow the way you went

that day.

What’s wrong with you?

What’s wrong with you?

He’s your father.

I know.

Then why did you do that to him?

His cowardly face always annoys me!

If we don’t risk, how can we have a future?

We’ll always be losers.

So what?

He’s nice to you!

What do you mean being nice?

I’m okay when he didn’t join the army.

I wanted to learn marital arts since little,

trying to save our family.

But he always stood in my way.

He fired many teachers.

If I hadn’t threated him with my life,

he wouldn’t have let me learn marital arts.

He’s a coward.

But he also wants to ruin my life.

You…

Look at Chen.

He was cooperating.

He said nothing.

You said something wrong with imperial guards.

I can’t talk!

You’re right.

Chen.

Shall we start drawing?

Didn’t we agree to

get dancing girls first?

Why do you still remember?

You know.

I’m not in good health.

Without girls, I’ll be too depressed

to draw.

It means you’re strong.

You know me.

Please.

When girls come,

you can draw?

I promise!

Okay.

I’ll try.

I want girls from Xiuxiang House.

And you even order?

No.

Those girls are good.

Especially those I’m familiar with.

No way.

You can’t have your familiars.

You can’t be recognized.

Oh, I see.

How about this?

I’ll give you a list of girls

whom I’m familiar with.

Okay, then.

Get me the rest of them.

Are you kidding?

How many girls will come?

There aren’t too many in Xiuxiang House.

Exclude those I knew,

there are only a few left.

[Xiuxiang House]

Sir, come and have a rest.

Come and have some tea.

Yes.

There we are.

What are you doing?

Get in and check.

How can you get in

when dressed up like that?

Besides, girls don’t get in such places.

What shall I do then?

Easy.

Who are regular customers in a music hall?

Childe. There you are.

-We have new songs. –Here. Come over.

-Come and say hi. –Welcome and have fun.

Greetings.

Come.

Take care of him.

Chen Gong hasn’t turned up.

I’ve learned a new song. I’ll play it for you.

Keep an eye!

Come on, Childe.

Go.

-This way. -Watch your step.

Did you see Chen Gong?

No.

Come.

Childe.

Let’s drink.

Come on.

Let’s drink.

Okay. Come on.

Chide Wang has come! Go take care of him.

-Go. Go! -Okay, Madam.

Childe.

You’ve never been here before, huh?

This way, please.

Let me take care of you.

How can we find him among so many guys?

Be patient.

Childe.

What are you looking at?

Call me if you need anything.

It’s been a while.

But we haven’t seen him.

Keep waiting.

You look good in a man’s suit.

How did you get in?

Shut up.

Is she all right?

Yes.

She’s knocked out.

She’ll wake up.

Those guys downstairs look weird.

I think they are looking around.

They didn’t come to have fun,

but to look for someone.

For Chen Gong?

Are they imperial guards?

I don’t think so.

If they are,

they should have searched thoroughly,

instead of keeping a low profile.

Liao or Xia?

Not sure.

Let’s wait and see.

Shall I go and sound them out?

Don’t.

If they’re secret agents,

they must be more sensitive than others.

You’ll alert them.

Just stay.

Okay.

Take turns.

Two hours each.

It’s the last one.

Those are

all stalls that I visited that day.

Have you got anything?

They’re normal stalls.

Not your problem.

Wang.

Did you really not suspect me?

Why would I?

I’m a survivor of Bohai.

I’m different.

I don’t trust someone

for his origin,

but for what he has done.

If I can’t trust you,

I can trust no one else in Section 7.

Thank you, Wang.

Let’s go.

You didn’t tell them

that I left the mansion?

They’re suspicious.

They can’t help asking.

We’ll just solve it ourselves.

It has proved that it was not your problem.

Hope they can get something.

Why do you trust me so well?

Eyes.

Eyes?

Your eyes are clear

and you must be innocent.

You have the purest eyes I’ve ever seen.

All right.

Let’s go on looking for him.

We’ll go separately.

Be careful.

Someone is coming.

No way?

What’s wrong?

Chen Gong has come?

No.

Let me introduce you some girls.

Here is the thing.

A friend of mine can’t come out.

So…

I need some girls to go with me.

Go with you?

But there’s no such a rule.

No such a rule?

Is there?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Childe.

Wait a second.

Okay.

Just wait a second.

Wait.

Junior Wei?

What brings him here?

He gives so much money.

He comes to have fun, I guess.

Have fun

at this moment?

I don’t think so.

Normally,

I feel it reasonable

whatever Junior Wei does.

But I still feel

he’s doing something absurd.

Something must be wrong.

Well.

Go track him down.

I’ll stay and spy on the secret agents.

Childe.

There they are!

Look!

This is Honghong.

Huahua.

And this is Cuicui.

Are you satisfied with them?

Yes.

Go. Go.

Go.

Chide.

See you.

Welcome back.

Mr. Zhang.

My Lord.

Is everything going all right?

Yes, it is.

We keep an eye on all girls

familiar with Chen Gong.

He hasn’t come yet.

Keep watching.

Yes.

My Lord.

I’m confused.

Chen Gong has been missing for days.

Will he still come here?

We haven’t found him yet.

Neither have Liao agents.

And he hasn’t back to Crossbow Workshop.

What does it mean?

It means…

It means he is hiding himself!

Since we fail to find him,

we have to wait here.

He’s a randy man.

And he’s a regular customer here.

We will find him.

I see.

Don’t worry.

We’ll keep a close eye on him.

We won’t let him escape.

[Wanfeng Noodles Soup]

Wait.

Aren’t we going to a party?

Yeah.

[Wanfeng Noodles Soup]

Can’t we have it in a soup restaurant?

As long as you have enough money,

you can have it anywhere.

You’re right.

Let’s go.

Everybody.

Come in, please.

Uncle.

These are good girls.

They come to study.

Yeah.

We come to study.

They’re intellectuals.

And they’re lively.

Uncle.

I’m going to study.

Don’t run!

Where are you?

We’re here.

Come to us!

Where are you?

I got you!

Keep your voice down, okay?

What’s wrong?

Yeah.

My friend wants to keep a low profile.

Happiness matters most!

Yeah. Yeah.

Girls!

Let’s get in and drink.

Go. Go.

Come. Hurry. Hurry.

Sit down.

Fill the cups.

Be considerate.

Come and join us.

-Fill the cups. -Come on.

Fill his cup.

Come on.

Tastes great!

Fill the cup. Fill the cup.

Come. Cheers.

Come on.

Drink mine.

Honey.

My right eye twitches.

I feel something bad is happening.

The boys…

They just don’t stop!

Do something!

We can’t tell imperial guards.

We’ll hurt them then.

Let’s persuade them

to send the man away.

Could you keep your voice down?

Too noisy!

I’ll ask them to be quiet!

Sorry. Sorry.

There are you, Mr. Chen.

Somebody!

Coming.

Mr. Chen, there you are.

This way, please.

This way, please.

My Lord.

One of Chen Gong’s girls is seeing a guest.

I’ve asked.

He’s not Chen Gong.

Don’t get the wrong guy.

We won’t.

Someone took away three girls.

The rest girls are familiar with Chen Gong.

We won’t get it wrong.

The rest of them know Chen Gong?

Yes!

You mean

those left don’t know Chen Gong?

I’ve asked.

They don’t know him.

Go and ask

where the girls have gone.

Yes.

Go.

[Wanfeng Noodles Soup]

I’m drunk.

But I still want more.

Enough.

It’s getting late.

Let’s call it a day.

Okay.

Shall I walk them home?

Don’t.

Take some rest.

Let me do it.

Girls.

Come and get your pay.

I…

Remember what you’ll say after you go back?

The shop owner called us.

Yes.

My father?

I don’t have a choice.

Sorry for him.

It’s a safer answer.

Come.

Get your pay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Look!

Boys.

Are you waiting for someone?

If you’re interested,

why don’t you come to Xiuxiang House?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Where have you just been?

Why do you ask?

Just now,

we had dinner with a customer,

sang songs

and had a good time.

Customer?

Who is he?

An old man.

Where is he?

You want to go?

You’ll be disappointed then.

That isn’t an entertainment place.

The soup restaurant over there.

Let’s go.

The soup restaurant over there.

Rush in and check.

What if he isn’t Chen Gong?

Why bother to ask?

Keep no one alive.

You two, go guard the back door.

Yes.

Go!

Be right there.

We’re hungry.

Get us some soup.

Sorry, but we’re closed.

Why don’t you find another restaurant?

We’re really starving.

Please.

I followed these guys.

Two old people in the yard.

Junior Wei is in.

So is Xue Ying.

They’re hiding something from us.

Guys.

But the stove has been closed.

You’ll have to wait.

I’ll go get you some water.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Let’s remain still.

Wait and see.

When is the next party?

Finish the drawing first.

I…

What’s wrong?

Someone is out there.

Can they be…

Here is your water.

Here is your water.

What should we do?

Excuse me.

What is happening in the yard?

Shall we go and have a look?

Take Chen Gong away!

Why are you coming out?

Go!

If I leave,

how will your parents survive?

Hold them up.

I’ll go save your parents.

You don’t care for Chen Gong?

My friend’s parents matter more.

Loyal!

Awesome!

Give Chen Gong to us

and I’ll let them go.

What do you think?

Serious?

Just kidding.

It has nothing to do with his parents.

That was great.

Put your sword down!

Son!

Cut his arm!

Wait.

You asked for that!

Uncle…

We’re not in Hebei.

We can hardly hide the bodies.

Put them with the flour

and bury them after we leave the city.

Fine, then.

You must be hungry.

After I clean it up,

I’ll make you some food.

Amazing!

They’re my friends!

You’re not scared, are you?

Look.

When he was in Hebei,

he had no friend at all.

But in Kaifeng,

he has made so many friends.

How sweet!

Honey.

Didn’t you see guests coming?

Go cook something for them.

Okay. Okay.

I’m going right away.

Everybody,

please come in.

Look what a mess it is!

No time to clean it up.

Get in.

Great skills.

Not really.

You lied to me!

I didn’t.

I just didn’t tell you.

You think I can be easily fooled

and I’m stupid?

No.

To learn martial arts,

I tried every means to get a teacher.

But you didn’t teach me!

Your father worried you might make troubles

if you learnt marital arts.

You want me to pretend I know nothing,

get rid of military service

and live a cowardly life

just like him?

Martial arts don’t bring a good result.

Your mother

had four elder brothers.

When exploring the way as scouts,

they met the cavalry of enemies.

None of them survived.

It scared you?

I was a personal guard for a general,

and I was good at assassinating.

Upon hearing the news,

I sneaked out of the military camp.

I found the cavalry,

and had been stalking them for five days and night.

I poisoned their horses

and then set on fire.

I assassinated them in the darkness

and they were scared away.

Then I tracked down

the leading general

and killed him

to revenge for your mother’s brothers.

I found a letter from the general’s body.

His son was just born.

It was a congratulation letter.

So what?

That was in a battle.

I knew.

But his son was born at the same hour,

the same day

and the same year as you.

Holding the letter,

my hands trembled.

It reminded me of you.

I was scared then.

That’s the whole story.

You’re brave, huh?

We wanted to make contributions.

We might make some mistakes.

But we’re still positive.

So many guys are dead.

Some mistakes?

Aren’t they spies?

What’s wrong with Xue Ying’s parents?

They run the restaurant.

I’ve told you.

Why are they so great at martial arts?

No idea.

Xue Ying has no idea, too.

Call support.

Don’t.

Or Xue Ying and I will be doomed.

It doesn’t matter.

Where’s Chen Gong?

Let’s take a look at him.

Since then,

I became a coward.

Son.

I just wanted to keep you company when you grew up.

I hope you could stay with us

and you won’t be a soldier.

Or you might die in the battle, too.

I used to be merciless.

But since I had you,

I’ve changed.

Son.

Leave the city with your friends.

If anyone finds the dead guys,

your father and I will take the blame.

Son.

Your mother is right.

You can’t show up.

You know nothing about what happened today.

We’ve saved some money.

I’ll give it to you later.

By the way,

if we are caught,

don’t come to us.

Pretend we’re not your parents.

Son.

You stay in Kaifeng after all the trouble.

You can’t

ruin your future.

You…

All solved?

Hey, girl.

We meet again.

You look prettier.

Why do you want dancing girls?

Hard to explain.

Why Xiuxiang House?

I’m familiar with that place.

But you didn’t get

any girls you knew.

They didn’t allow me.

To keep a secret.

Even though,

you could have chosen whatever music hall.

Why do you still want Xiuxiang House?

You know someone is after you, huh?

I do.

We met assassins on our way.

Then you must know

someone is spying on your regular routes.

But you still picked Xiuxiang House.

What?

What does she mean?

Yeah.

What does it help?

Maybe you did that on purpose?

But why?

So that they’ll come and catch you!

Wait.

Am I seeking for doom?

When we took you away from Crossbow Workshop,

how did the assassins know the route?

What?

You’re suspecting me?

I told the assassins the route

so that they could kill me?

Am I crazy?

Yeah.

It makes no sense.

They came to catch you,

instead of killing you!

Before you finish the drawing,

no one will kill you.

What’s the difference?

I’ll suffer if they catch me.

Uh…

You’re suspecting me?

All right.

If you are,

why don’t you kill me?

Don’t get angry!

She’s just kidding.

Take it easy.

Don’t get angry!

Pack your things.

You’ll move out.

What?

Move?

Why…

Why do you lock the door?

Let me out!

Pack your things.

We’ll have a discussion.

What?

What is the discussion

that I can’t know?

Go.

Go find Xue Ying.

What are you doing?

I took so much trouble to make him trust us.

Shut up!

She’s angry!

But why?

Don’t go!

Come back!

There’ll be no problem.

How about this?

We’ll leave you alone

and we’ll go clean up

the blood in the yard.

Since we’re in Kaifeng,

we’re no longer soldiers.

I won’t die in the battle, either.

Your restaurant…

Keep running it.

Made up with them?

I don’t know how to explain.

My father is still a coward.

But he did so for me.

I’m still angry.

But I couldn’t help thinking.

If he died in a battle,

would I regret

when I was proud?

You would.

They’re staying around you.

That’s the best.

Perhaps.

Perhaps I’m a coward, too.

You’re not.

But you have families to care for.

I’m fine.

What’s going on now?

I suspect Chen Gong.

Aren’t you kidding?

Normally speaking,

we should hand him out.

But…

He hasn’t finished the drawing yet.

But I also suspect

imperial guards.

Why are there problems with everything?

But we’re fine!

You two are the biggest problem!

Don’t you know you were messing around?
