Young Blood

Episode 25

[Kaifeng Courier Hostel]

She just passed out.

Jing.

Are you all right?

It hurts.

What happened?

I just remember

I brought Yunni something to eat.

Then…

She knocked you out.

But why?

She was lying.

What do you mean?

If she was telling the truth

that she was kidnapped for power,

she didn’t need to knock you out

and ran away.

Besides,

her servants would rather die

than tell us the truth.

It didn’t make sense.

If they wanted power only,

they should have told us

what really happened.

Normally, Princess Yunni should have a more complicated relation

with her dance troupe.

Where could she go?

I was scaring you.

You crashed to me.

Why did you try to kill yourself?

Life is precious.

Yunni ran away.

Where has she gone?

Let her go!

Let her go?

Don’t fight back.

I apologized to you.

Where has she gone?

No idea.

Why didn’t you take care of her?

She ran away!

What did it concern me?

We caught you,

to help her.

But now it means she lied to us.

It’s your own business.

We won’t interfere.

You can go!

Who the hell are you?

Performing troupe.

Why do you interfere with us?

Your princess

paid us at a high price.

Why did we refuse her?

Since she ran away,

the deal was canceled.

Junior Wei.

Tell Xue Ying

to let go of those guys.

We’re staying out of this!

Junior Wei?

You don’t know him?

His dad is Wei Zhuoran.

Who betrayed Song?

You knew it?

Your dad was killed because he betrayed Song.

You can’t be

an informer for Song troops.

Yeah.

I can’t make a living.

I have to work at the performing troupe.

You want money?

Or what else?

It took you such a short time

to find the princess.

So, you must be familiar with Kaifeng.

What do you mean?

I can hire you.

Be specific.

Find the princess asap.

You can name the price.

Well…

We have to think about it carefully.

Don’t we?

Yeah.

What price do we want?

That will be…

Time is running out.

The princess is in danger.

Don’t worry.

She went to

the Secret Agent Department.

She’s afraid of death,

isn’t she?

Wang Kuan, say something.

Name a price.

Guys from the Secret Agent Department

wanted to kill her!

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Open the box.

You killed people?

They assassinated us.

Agents from the Secret Agent Department.

Oh, I see.

You took over power

and kidnapped the princess.

So, the Secret Agent Department

came to catch you.

They wanted to kill the princess.

Why?

You don’t need to know.

Take the money and work.

This is the deposit.

You’ll have a big reward

after you find her.

So…

Yunni doesn’t know

they want to kill her?

Don’t worry.

I hear their strongholds

in Kaifeng

have been wiped out.

New agents

have been sent.

Their first mission

is to kill Princess Yunni.

The scratches are new.

Weren’t all the agents

wiped out?

Why is there still trace?

Could we have the wrong news?

A colleague is still alive?

He wants to meet us.

Shall we go?

It might be a trap.

Let go of him.

Don’t forget

our priority in Kaifeng.

Princess Yunni is no longer loyal.

We must kill her.

Exactly.

The Secret Agent Department was wiped out,

because her clan

has betrayed us.

We must take revenge.

We’ll see

if it is a trap.

Let’s sneak into the courier hostel

and kill Yunni.

Yes.

Where are you going?

To find Yunni.

Stay.

Stay at the hostel.

Someone must be staying.

Maybe Yunni will be back soon.

Besides,

you’re too anxious.

I don’t want you to look for her.

Don’t keep us worry.

Okay?

Will Yunni be in danger?

Don’t worry.

I’ll bring her back.

All of you come to look for her?

Leave no one here?

We must find the princess first!

Why did you tie her?

None of your business.

Did you tie her to protect her?

Take the money and work!

Stop talking nonsense.

She’s right.

Why are you talking nonsense?

Junior Wei.

Go with her.

I’ll go look for the princess with Zhao Jian.

Where are you going?

Didn’t we make a deal?

We’ll go separately.

Kaifeng is such a big city.

Go separately and there’ll be a better chance.

You mustn’t

tell anyone else about the princess.

I swear to you, by my personality.

I’ll never tell others.

Why hasn’t anyone come?

Did they not see my message?

[Kaifeng Courier Hostel]

No one is here.

They ran away?

But the luggage is here.

We shouldn’t have assassinated them before.

I think we alerted them.

Go around the courier hostel

and check carefully.

Yes.

Here is the thing.

Princess Yunni of Liao’s dance troupe is missing.

The dance troupe is looking for her.

That is the story.

Look at you.

You always run into troubles.

Not really.

It’s the internal conflict in the dance troupe.

We just look on.

Didn’t you swear by your personality?

But I have no personality.

Okay.

You made some sense.

We shouldn’t interfere with

the internal conflict of Liao.

The government

will not follow up now.

You can still approach the dance troupe

as the folk performing troupe.

Remember.

Our priority is to keep peace.

Don’t ruin the birthday banquet,

or you’ll satisfy some evil guys.

I see.

Okay. Go ahead.

If you need help,

let me know.

What else

do you want, except reporting?

Dean.

I am confused.

New agents

have been sent.

Their priority is to

kill Princess Yunni.

Why do they want to

kill their own princess?

It feels weird.

You ask me?

How do I know?

You may not know.

But you have Han Duanzhang, don’t you?

You think

he’s involved?

Princess Yunni?

Secret agents want to kill her?

Well…

Maybe I’m really involved.

Why?

Because I sold you all the intel

of the Secret Agent Department in Kaifeng.

Over the days,

we’ve been cooperating well.

I can’t

let Liao agents

suspect me.

I will go back, anyway.

So…

I made some arrangements

before I did that.

As long as Liao agents track down,

all clues will lead to Prince Yun'an.

He’s the scapegoat?

Why don’t they just

kill Prince Yun'an?

Why did they come after Princess Yunni?

I don’t know.

Maybe they want to kill both.

Like I said,

it’s none of our business.

We won’t interfere.

Seems like Yunni doesn’t know

those secret agents want to kill her.

Find her and ask.

Let’s go.

The eighth lane at Nanxie Street

from east to west.

Go and have a look.

What’s in there?

If the stronghold is gone,

secret agents will leave marks at the lane

for communication.

All are ciphertexts.

If you don’t understand,

here is the code book.

What have you got?

I’ve asked around.

The dance troupe suddenly left,

in no direction.

Are you exposed?

Don’t worry.

Many performing troupes are in the hostel.

They aren’t familiar with each other.

No one noticed me.

Go.

We can’t wait for them.

Going to find them?

It’s such a big city.

And we are newcomers.

It’s not easy to find them.

What should we do?

The message at the eighth lane says

we’ll meet in the teahouse.

Let’s go have a look.

What if there’s a trap?

That’s a clue, anyway.

If a colleague is still alive,

he may help us.

Let’s just be careful.

Yes.

It’s all that on the wall.

I want some, too!

We meet again.

Why are you here?

We should ask you.

You knocked out Jing

just to come for some tea?

Stop staring.

Go with us.

Go.

To the brothel?

Why are we going to the brothel?

Do you really know my parents?

Are they really waiting for me in the brothel?

Do you have a token?

Girl.

Don’t trust them!

If they take you away,

you can’t come back!

But they said they know my parents.

How stupid you are!

These are ruffians in Kaifeng.

They sell girls

with the same trick.

Where are you running to?

Where do you think you’re going?

Yuan Zhongxin.

Are you all right?

What an unlucky day!

Shut up!

Don’t move.

[Qingyun House]

What happened?

Who shot them?

Don’t move him!

Do you know there are grave consequences

if you’re caught in Kaifeng?

Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo.

What brings you here?

If I didn’t come,

you would have been caught.

Sorry.

Who are those guys

beside Yunni?

There you are?

What happened?

Secret agents made a sneak attack.

I didn’t notice that.

It was nearly in your heart.

I’m a humble guy.

I’ll live.

Where’s Zhao Jian?

So serious?

Chief.

Make no mistake.

You rogue!

You!

You saved me?

Not really.

What is she going to do?

Saw you in half.

Or how can she pull the arrow out?

Ignore him.

She’ll saw the arrow.

Can’t you just pull it out?

You’re connected.

I’m afraid you’ll lose too much blood.

We must saw it off

before pulling it out.

Don’t worry.

Zhao Jian is experienced in arrow wounds.

I’m not afraid.

Do it now.

What’s wrong?

You do it.

Me?

I can’t do it.

But I haven’t dealt with an arrow wound before.

Princess.

Xiaohua.

I failed to stop her!

What are you going to do with her?

Xiaohua.

Put the sword down.

They saved me.

They meant no harm.

Put the sword down.

Princess.

Xiaohua.

Put the sword down.

But…

He’s going to saw the arrow off.

Ridiculous!

They should have brought a doctor.

We can’t let others know.

I don’t care.

I trust them.

Xiaohua.

Leave us.

Princess.

He’ll cure me of the wound.

Let me…

Let me stay and wait for you.

When you care, you panic.

You’ll influence him.

If she’s getting more,

you can never pay that even though you die.

I’ll do it!

Hang in there.

Don’t worry.

I won’t cry.

You pretended to be Princess Yunni,

so that you could get shot for her?

Unfortunately,

she was still assassinated.

Have you thought about it?

If they really took you as Princess Yunni,

you would have been shot.

Maybe you would have died.

If I can protect Princess Yunni with my own life,

I’d love to.

Are you all right?

Why don’t you stay with Yuan Zhongxin?

He stopped bleeding.

I think he’ll be all right.

Why did you ask me to do it?

I just panicked.

You would not panic in the past.

You panicked,

because he was hurt.

What do you mean?

Princess Yunni is right.

When you care, you panic.

No.

If you were hurt,

I would panic, too.

I mean…

Whoever in our section is hurt…

I…

Do you have a cart?

Cart?

Princess Yunni is going back to the hostel.

Drive the cart slowly.

Besides,

tell people in the hostel.

I don’t think

she can dance for the birthday banquet.

Fine, then.

Don’t tell them.

I’ll still dance.

Princess.

There’s no turning back.

Why does dancing matter so much?

If I succeed,

my family will get many benefits

in Liao Dynasty.

I can’t explain too much.

Anyway,

please hide it from me.

I must dance

for the birthday banquet.

Whatever.

Are you all right?

Does it hurt?

If it does, cry out.

I wasn’t born yesterday.

She feels wired.

Who?

Yunni.

Does she?

I don’t think so.

Junior Wei.

Yuan Zhongxin saved her,

regardless of his own life.

We can understand

he’s sensitive.

What do you mean?

I’m not familiar with her.

You’re not?

You called her Yunni sweetly.

Isn’t that her name?

Why are you so anxious?

I…

Are you all right?

Does the wound break?

She’s hurt but still wants to dance.

It feels wired.

Seriously,

I thought they came to dance

so that they could get rid of troubles.

But it seems that

dancing is their final purpose.

Why must she dance?

What?

Doesn’t want to stay in Liao Dynasty

and seeks refuge with us?

If they want,

why don’t they just tell the Court of State Ceremonials?

Why must they dance at the birthday banquet?

Want to assassinate?

Assassinate at the birthday banquet?

They must be seeking for their doom.

Secret agents are running after them.

If they offend Song,

they’ll have no way of escape.

All right.

Stop thinking about it.

Just get recovered.

What are you staring at?

You’re like my parents.

Who?

When I was little, my mom was ill.

My dad covered her with the quilt

and talked with her.

You did exactly the same thing

as I watched

my parents doing.

What are you talking about?

I’m telling the truth.

I had to take care of him,

because he was wounded.

No.

You stared at each other

with caring eyes.

Just like my parents.

What… what eyes?

Something in your eyes.

It’s hard to explain.

Stop talking nonsense.

Why don’t you get married?

Get out.

What are you laughing at?

Why is your face flushed?

It isn’t.

Shy, aren’t you?

You get it wrong.

What?

He said there was something in your eyes.

What is it?

How do I know?

Show me.

No.

Show me.

[Kaifeng Courier Hostel]

Were the assassins

from the Secret Agent Department?

Why did they want to kill me?

I’m not sure.

After we left Liao,

we found secret agents

trying to kill you.

You tied me up

and pretended to be me,

so that you could die for me?

You should have told me.

Sorry.

If I told you earlier,

you wouldn’t have been shot.

I don’t mean that.

I just find it unreasonable.

Why do secret agents want to kill me?

To threaten your brother?

My brother has been caught.

If they want to kill me,

they would have done that before we left.

Why did they try to kill me

in Kaifeng?

Should we tell Song that

Prince Yun'an was caught?

They always expect civil strife in Liao.

Shall we…

Shall we ask Yuan Zhongxin and Zhao Jian

for help?

They’re a mere folk performing troupe.

How can they help?

It’s better than fighting alone.

Princess.

She needs some rest.

Jing asked to see you.

Shall I tell her you fell asleep?

Let her in.

Yunni, are you all right?

I heard that you were shot.

I was freaked out.

Stop pretending.

I knocked you out.

I know.

Actually,

you could have told me if you were in trouble.

What should I tell you?

Who do you think you are?

And who do you think I am?

When I was in trouble,

why should I tell you?

I thought we were friends.

Friends?

If you were a friend,

I wouldn’t have knocked you out and left.

I’m a princess.

How would I

make friends with you?

I was nice to you.

And I pretended that.

Now I’m wounded.

I’m not strong enough to keep pretending.

Jing.

We’re never friends.

I never like you.

From now on,

stop coming to me.

Understand?

If you do, you may leave.

But your wound…

Is it all right?

Kick her out.

I’ll walk out.

Yunni.

Take care of yourself.

Don’t let Yuan Zhongxin or Zhao Jian

come in.

Princess!

They saved me.

Don’t get them involved.

And you guys.

Leave Kaifeng as soon as possible.

For the dancing,

I’ll do it alone.

Please allow me to dance for you.

What?

Going to tie me again?

Yuan Zhongxin and his friends saw me.

You can no longer pretend to be me.

Listen to me.

Leave Kaifeng as soon as you can.

We’ll dance with you.

At the birthday banquet,

our final purpose

is to assassinate the empress.

If you dance with me,

you’ll die with me.

We’d love to!

Idiots!

Or…

Or you can stay, saying you’re wounded.

We’ll go assassinate the empress.

Pretend you know nothing about that.

Maybe you can survive.

Xiaohua.

This is my family business.

If I watch you

going die for me

and do nothing,

I’m not qualified to be your princess.

Princess.

I had planned to ask secret agents

to send you away.

I don’t think it works now.

Don’t think too much.

Let’s die together.

Even if we’re going to hell,

we’ll go with you.

What did Princess Yunni say?

You don’t want to tell me?

No.

She said I wasn’t her friend.

How did you meet her?

I met her,

when I was sent to Liao

for exchanging paintings.

What did you do at that time?

A common female official.

What could Yunni get

when she made friends with you?

Nothing.

In contrast,

I attracted more attention

when making friends with a princess.

Since she could get nothing,

why would she make friends with you?

You mean?

She didn’t say that

from her heart?

I don’t know, either.

But we can’t judge someone

just from his language.

Why is it so complicated

to get on with others?

That’s why I insist on telling the truth.

Seems like people are close.

In fact, they’re far away.

One’s heart is as deep as the ocean.

No one can truly know

what others think of.

Only by telling the truth

can we try to understand each other.

If there’s no secret in the world,

will everyone live an easier life?

Who knows?

I guess there’s a reason

why Yunni hurt your feelings.

Don’t be sad.

See what she’s going to do

before you make a decision.

Wang.

I hide something from you, too.

I just want myself to be true.

Never mind.

Everyone has his secrets.

Dean Lu asked me not to tell anyone else.

But I don’t think

I should cheat my friends.

It’s okay.

It’s up to you.

My father

is a survivor of Bohai.

Bohai clan was annihilated over a hundred years ago.

No.

My family stayed in the north

after the clan was annihilated.

Later, we helped with the establishment of Ding’an clan.

I know Ding’an clan.

It was set up by survivors of Bohai.

It was annihilated by Liao

twenty years ago.

That was when

my parents came to Song and settled down.

What is it concerned with

your visit to Liao?

My family is kind of

a royal family of survivors of Bohai.

Ding’an clan was annihilated.

But many survivors

stayed in Liao Dynasty.

Thirty years ago,

Da Yanlin, one of survivors of Bohai,

rebelled in Liaoyang, Shangjing.

That was a big rebellion.

I knew it.

He rebelled in a vast way,

but he was finally pacified.

When you visited Liao Dynasty,

you told them you were a survivor of Bohai?

Dean Lu sent you?

He said,

considering who I was,

I might manage to contact some survivors

who didn’t like Liao.

If they could help,

it’ll be beneficial to Song.

Have you found them?

No.

I only met Yunni.

That’s your secret?

In fact, I’m jealous of you.

You,

Yuan

and Zhao

all have talents.

Maybe Dean Lu

had me in Secret Repository

only because of my identity.

Besides that,

I can do nothing.

So, I don’t dare to

tell anyone about it.

Now I’ll telling you.

And I feel much better.

I’ll try harder,

to be good enough for Section 7

and for your care.

Come with me.
