Young Blood

Episode 26

[Kaifeng Courier Hostel]

Chief Zhao!

The arrow didn’t kill me.

But you will.

What a pity you didn’t die.

I won’t die, unless you kill me.

What bad luck I have

to have something to do with your life.

Is he coming?

Junior Wei went to get him.

I think he’s coming soon.

There he is.

Come in.

Yuan. Yuan.

You’re wounded?

The dog must have bitten you.

To be honest, Tian Hu,

someone shot me.

Shot you?

Who dared to shoot you in the city?

Who did it?

Didn’t see him.

He ran away too quickly.

Why didn’t you notify the government?

Tian Hu.

Who do you think

is the one shot me?

I… I don’t know.

Do you have an enemy?

Yes, an enemy.

Think about it.

He didn’t shoot me

until the birthday banquet

was coming.

Was it because of the dog?

Because of the birthday banquet, of course!

Yes. Yes.

You make sense!

But why?

The birthday banquet is coming.

Performing troupes of all regions have arrived.

We are competitive, aren’t we?

Sure, you are.

If we’re hurt,

others will steal our thunder.

Don’t you think so?

Anyway, it’s the birthday of the empress.

A great chance to become famous!

Could it be?

Could it be?

Hos…

Hostel!

People in the hostel shot you?

Yes.

You really are clever.

And you impressed me!

I don’t have many advantages,

except being clever.

Since I’m wounded,

what do you think you should do?

Cure you.

I mean the hostel.

Hostel?

It’s so clever of you.

I can’t continue.

Your turn.

The empress’s birthday banquet

is rather important.

If assassins come back,

there’ll be troubles, huh?

Sure.

Should we keep on the alert

in case of more troubles?

Keep on the alert?

But how?

The alert.

The alert.

We should keep on.

Hostel!

Yes. Yes.

We should keep on the alert.

I’ll go tell my superior.

It’s so clever of you.

I’m going right away.

Wait. Wait.

Tell him

you come up with this idea.

Don’t mention me.

Why?

I was just wounded.

But I still want to give a performance.

Could you hide it for me?

Oh, I see.

You can’t be defeated by other troupes!

Yuan!

Fighting!

He’s a good guy.

But it’s too hard to communicate with him.

Yunni is still alive?

Yes.

She’s still alive.

She is back to the hostel.

If we assassinate her again,

can you do it?

I’m afraid not.

More guards suddenly come to the hostel.

It’s not easy

if we want to sneak in again.

Because of the guy who saved Yunni?

No.

A guard named Tian Hu

proposed to get more guards.

As far as I know,

the man who saved Yunni

is a common guy in Song.

He will give a performance at the birthday banquet.

You mean,

Yunni was saved

by accident?

I think so.

No Song soldiers have been transferred.

I’m relieved, then.

But I’m afraid

we can’t assassinate Yunni again.

If we can’t break in,

I’ll go there alone to assassinate her.

That’ll be harder.

If I’m part of a performing troupe,

I can get in.

My Lord.

You want to pretend to be a performer?

Those performers

can’t always stay in the hostel.

Stay around the hostel.

If anyone leaves,

let me know.

I see.

I’ve asked Xue Ying

to tell performing troupes

that ruffians are making troubles

in Kaifeng.

I think

they will stay in the hostel

instead of going out.

Secret agents must be waiting

to assassinate Princess Yunni.

The hostel is heavily guarded.

No one can break in.

They can pretend to be performers.

But no one goes out.

Who can they pretend to be?

Except me!

You?

I’m wounded.

I can go out for treatment

or buying medicine.

That makes sense.

If they want to assassinate Princess Yunni,

I’m the best choice they can use.

No way.

You haven’t recovered yet.

I should be the bait.

No way.

Why?

I’m wounded.

It’s easier to control me

and they’ll be relieved.

What’s wrong?

You used to

stay out of trouble.

But now you’re insisting

even if you’re wounded.

I’ve grown up.

Seems like Princess Yunni matters a lot to you!

What does it concern her?

Then why are you sparing no efforts?

Aren’t you curious?

Think about the secret agents!

They deliberately

assassinated Princess Yunni

when she was in Kaifeng.

Normally speaking, shouldn’t they have

assassinated her in Liao?

And Princess Yunni.

She’s so badly hurt.

But she still wants to dance.

How important is the dance?

I think

everyone is lying.

They treat me like an idiot.

I must find out the truth.

You know.

I hate it most when someone lies to me.

Everyone is lying.

Who do you mean?

Princess Yunni, Xiaohua, Han Duanzhang.

And Lu Guannian.

You don’t even believe Dean Lu?

I feel

Lu Guannian and Han Duanzhang

have a strange tacit understanding.

Think about what happened to us.

Will Lu Guannian really let go of this?

But he used to be alert.

What brings you here?

You sent Jing to Liao,

because you wanted to use her

to contact survivors of Bohai in Liao?

You told him?

Dean Lu.

Wang is always honest to us.

If I still lie to him,

I’ll feel guilty.

When she was sent to Liao,

Secret Repository wasn’t established, huh?

Does that matter?

Did you warn her that

if Liao people found that

she contacted survivors of Bohai,

she would have died?

But she was back,

safe and sound.

Wang.

Say no more!

She came back,

because she was lucky.

Isn’t that enough?

What if

she really lost her life?

If she managed to contact survivors of Bohai,

it would have brought benefits

to our nation.

So, her own life

didn’t matter?

You’re been in Section 7 for months.

Don’t you know

which matters more?

Individual or the nation?

If everyone loses his life,

what will consist of the nation?

You’re complaining for her?

Yes.

As one of members in Secret Repository,

she’s obligated to

sacrifice everything for Song.

But there was no Secret Repository then.

And you didn’t explain to her.

At that time,

you sent her to hell.

What does it matter to argue about this now?

You made a mistake.

And I should defend her.

For a survivor of Bohai?

She was born in Song

and grew up here.

She’s a Song resident.

Even if she isn’t,

she’s still one of Section 7.

A partner that goes through thick and thin with me.

What do you want?

Ask me to compensate for her?

What do I want?

You just said it.

I’m just complaining for her.

I don’t want compensations.

I’m just telling you what I want to say.

You made a mistake

in the past.

Even for the nation,

you shouldn’t have used unscrupulous ways.

Do you want me to kneel down and apologize?

If you really thought you were wrong,

you wouldn’t have asked.

With me around,

you won’t risk your life again.

I was freaked out.

I thought he saw us through.

What’s his name again?

Wang Kuan, huh?

Over all these months,

I thought

only Zhao Jian and Yuan Zhongxin

worth my attention.

Seems like

I was wrong.

He rushed in and complained about you.

Why are you still laughing?

With such a young man,

there’s hope for our nation.

Yeah.

With such young men,

there’s hope.

What about you?

What about me?

What are we?

We should be buried by this age.

We’re alive,

but we’d rather die.

We’re just surviving,

to linger on with our last breath of life.

You’re right.

Even if we have to die,

we won’t die in peace

until we succeed in our plan.

What’s wrong?

Thank you.

I was just venting my anger.

I complained a lot,

but nothing helped.

No.

No one ever got so angry for me.

I’ll protect you.

Wang.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

I bought them

when I was buying gifts for Yunni.

You’re back.

What’s wrong with Jing?

Her face is flushed!

What are you laughing at?

You look mysterious.

Where are Yuan Zhongxin and Zhao Jian?

They left.

The plan began?

Yes.

They asked us to wait here.

Candies?

Where did you buy them?

Let me try.

What’s wrong?

You don’t eat candies, do you?

Don’t waste them!

Junior Wei.

Dean Lu asked us to write a tracing essay.

You paid Zhuifeng of Section 2 to write it for you, huh?

How do you know?

Don’t tell Zhao Jian!

Wang Kuan!

You haven’t promised me!

I just ate a candy! Seriously?

I’ll buy you one!

The man who was shot left the hostel?

Seems like he’s going to the pharmacy.

He’ll get the dressing changed.

How many of them?

He and a woman.

No one follows up?

Definitely no.

It’s not a trap then.

We won’t let such an opportunity slip.

Get ready to go!

Yes, My Lord.

Remember.

Don’t kill them!

They will

help me to get into the hostel.

I see.

Here we are.

[Song’an Clinic]

Wait here.

I’ll ask someone to carry you in.

Don’t move!

Dude!

If you want money,

I’ll give you everything

I have.

Get in the cart.

To be honest,

we give performances for a living.

We’re not rich.

What is your relationship?

We…

We’re a couple.

A couple?

Yes.

You truly look like a couple.

Everyone says that.

You are still young.

I don’t think you want to die.

Dude.

Spare us!

How much do you want?

We’ll try to get it for you.

Money?

Take this.

Do me a little favor.

You’ll get more after you succeed.

Dude.

My husband was shot.

He must get his dressing changed

in the pharmacy.

This is the best healing elixir.

Dude.

What do you want?

Take me into the hostel.

If someone asks,

tell him I’m your partner

and I come to meet you.

But…

But…

Dude…

But…

You don’t want to help?

No.

But there are a few of us in the troupe.

Guards know us.

If we bring another partner,

I don’t think they’ll believe me.

Then you’ll be useless to me.

Dude.

I have an idea.

What is it?

In fact, I’m an animal tamer.

I raised a dog.

I told others that

the dog could turn into a man.

But the dog was lost days ago.

What do you mean?

I mean

why don’t you pretend to be the dog?

I’ll kill you! Don’t you believe it?

Dude.

I have another idea.

What is it?

Here is the thing.

I have a remote nephew

who is interested in performances.

He always wants me to take him out.

If you don’t mind,

you can pretend to be him.

Nephew?

Yes.

I mentioned him to the guards.

I think it will work.

Think of my age.

How can I be your nephew?

A remote nephew, I said.

You’re not young enough.

But you’re senior.

No other relatives?

All the other relatives died.

All right, then.

Okay.

I’m your uncle

and this is your aunt.

What’s your nephew’s name?

What personalities does he have?

Tell me.

And I can pretend well.

He has no personality.

He’s an idiot.

You!

Dude!

It’s easy to pretend to be an idiot!

You don’t need to talk.

Just laugh foolishly.

Fine, then.

Let’s do it.

But I’ll make it clear to you.

If you try to expose me,

I’ll easily

kill you both!

Yes.

You call the shots.

Dude.

Dude.

What do you want again?

Shouldn’t we practice

our relationship?

Call us smoothly and people won’t see you through.

Uncle.

Aunt.

[Kaifeng Courier Hostel]

Yuan.

Had your dressing changed?

What a coincidence!

And this is?

My remote nephew.

He looks old!

He’s older than us.

But he’s poor.

He’s brain-damaged

and doesn’t even know the way.

We have to take care of him for days.

What a poor man!

Call him.

Uncle Tian.

Come on.

Uncle Tian.

You know what?

When I look at him carefully,

he really looks foolish.

All right.

Get in.

Be careful.

Don’t run about.

What were you doing?

Uncle Tian is the guard of the hostel.

Get on well with him

and you can easily come or go.

What Uncle Tian?

Many people are around us.

Don’t rush.

Or people will see you through.

What’s your relationship with Princess Yunni?

We just knew her.

Then you got shot for her?

I didn’t know.

I happened to be there.

Who knew someone would shoot her?

Take me to Liao’s mission.

They don’t receive guests.

Nonsense!

You just saved her!

She refused me, too.

But we can try.

According to Princess Yunni,

she sees no one.

Dude.

I’m Yuan.

I got shot for Princess Yunni.

She gave the order.

She didn’t even see you.

Why is her place so heavily guarded?

Dude.

We’re only performers.

We don’t know why.

Why didn’t she even see you?

I’m a humble guy.

But she’s a princess.

Why must she see me?

Then what do I need you for?

Dude.

Think carefully about it.

If you kill us in this place,

the hostel will be more heavily guarded.

You can’t ever come in again.

Yeah.

Now you know the way.

Why don’t you

come back again with your men?

You’re considering for me?

As long as you pay us,

we’re okay with everything.

Besides,

he has a crush on Princess Yunni.

So…

I don’t care if you want to catch her

or kill her,

I will support you.

You’re wrong.

What crush do I have on her?

You got shot for her!

What did you do for me?

I said that was an accident!

You!

Stop!

I can keep you alive.

And money isn’t a problem.

The point is…

how you can take me to Liao’s mission.

Princess Yunni was shot, too.

Even if she sees no guest,

she has to see a doctor, huh?

Go on.

Let’s keep an eye on her.

We can pretend to be a doctor

or threaten a doctor.

As long as you can go into her yard

as a doctor,

you can do whatever you want, right?

You really hate Princess Yunni.

That’s a good idea.

Well…

Why don’t you have a rest

in our room?

Dude.

We’re mere performers.

You can terrorize us with only a dagger.

You’re right.

Okay.

Let’s go back to your place.

Lead the way.

Don’t be nervous.

If they succeed,

I guess the assassin is coming soon.

When he comes, catch him together.

A sudden attack

stands a better chance.

Go with us.

Our lord wants to see you.

Lord?

We have to make it clear.

We’re in the hostel, anyway.

Envoys of all regions are here.

Don’t make a mistake.

We don’t get the wrong guys.

My lord asked to see you.

[Order from the Ministry of War]

Dude.

This is where we live.

Let’s get in then.

After you.

Finally, you’re back.

Who is he?

You don’t know him, do you?

No.

Why would I know him?

Oh, that’s right.

He’s our silly nephew.

Where are our partners?

I didn’t see them.

When I came, no one was in.

What do you come for?

Princess Yunni is missing again.

Ran away?

She said she was going to see someone.

But she didn’t allow us to follow her.

Why do you tell us about it?

You found her last time.

You’re familiar with the city.

You should go and find her.

She doesn’t allow you to follow up.

Why do you want to find her?

Well,

she has no friend in Kaifeng.

I’m really worried.

I want you to look for her.

This is your pay.

Tian Hu!

Yuan.

Taking your silly nephew out?

Yes.

Do something for Liao’s mission.

Could you do me a little favor?

We’re friends.

I’d love to help!

Look!

We’re leaving!

No one stays.

Could you take him back

for us?

He’s a fool, anyway.

I’m afraid he’ll get lost.

My pleasure.

Silly nephew, let’s go.

Be a good boy!

I’m afraid he’ll get lost.

Keep a close eye on him!

Don’t worry, Yuan.

Go. Go. Go.

-Go. -He might get lost.

Don’t let him run away.

Don’t worry.

Seems like he sticks to you.

Let’s go!

We’re in a hurry to find Princess Yunni.

Why is he chatting with beggars?

Or how can we find her?

He’s asking for information?

But why do beggars help us?

Not help you.

But help me.

I asked.

They saw a princess

going that way.

What a coincidence!

Those are your friends?

All ruffians in Kaifeng

are my friends.

I suggest you not to look at me.

She’ll be jealous!

I don’t mean that.

Are you going to find Princess Yunni or not?

Oh, yes.

That way, huh?

I’ll go have a look.

That’s how we can send her away.

Where do you think Wang Kuan went?

No idea.

No trace of fighting in the room.

They should have stayed to catch the assassin.

But they disappeared.

I asked them.

They said a cart was parked

at the back door of the hostel.

Many guards stood by

and stopped others from coming close.

Maybe it had something to do with Wang Kuan.

It feels weird.

Let’s go find Princess Yunni first.

Could you use another excuse

to send her away?

It works, anyway.

But you can’t use me every time.

I think you like that.

Let’s go.

Where are they taking us?

Shall we fight a way out?

They have the transfer order of the Ministry of War.

We can’t fight.

But they’re not wearing armors.

The transfer order can’t be fake.

The one who wants to see us must be powerful.

Dean Lu?

It’s not necessary for him to be so mysterious.

Stop guessing around.

When the cart stops,

we’ll know.

Is everything ready?

Yes.

I’ll do it at the birthday banquet.

Have you made up your mind?

If you assassinate the empress at the banquet,

I’m afraid you can hardly survive,

no matter you succeed or not.

Is my brother all right?

Yes, he’s fine.

He eats well

and sleeps well.

As long as you kill the empress,

I’ll let him go.

But I’ll be dead then.

How do I know if you keep the promise?

Because I won’t kill him.

I just want your clan

to be blamed for killing the empress of Song.

Then Song will ask Liao for the murderer.

If I kill your brother,

Liao will only give them

his dead body.

Why do I

take so much trouble then?

As long as you listen to me,

your brother will live.

What the hell do you want?

As the Supervisor of Surveillance Division,

I’m doing it for Liao, of course.

Liao and Song have been negotiating for peace.

If there’s no war,

when can Liao come south

and expand national boundaries?

So, you want to start a war?

Yeah.

That’s why I need an important princess

like you.

Don’t you think I’ll refuse you?

You won’t.

I’ve checked.

Your parents died when you were little.

So…

you’re close to your brother.

Let me put it this way.

For your brother,

you’ll do anything.

Am I right?

By the way,

I asked to see you

for something else.

I’ve got everything ready for the dance.

No one will check you.

Rest assured to assassinate the empress.

You have a partner in Song?

This…

doesn’t concern you.

Could you…

Could you

keep other members of my dance troupe alive?

I’ll try.

This is a letter from your brother.

You can read it.

It proves that he’s still alive.

I asked all the way.

They said she entered that yard.

I’m afraid we’ll also know why Princess Yunni came to Kaifeng

in that yard.

Are we really going in?

My intuition tells me that

that’s big trouble.

Stay out if you’re scared.

I just want you to stay behind me.

Don’t think too much.

The one behind can be easily attacked.

Go look for her separately.

[From Yun’an]

Seems like Yuan Zhongxin

tracked you down.

How come?

No one is here.

The yard seems to

have been deserted for long.

Why isn’t she here?

Didn’t someone say she came here?

It shouldn’t be wrong.

Don’t worry.

Someone tricked him to somewhere else.

They have nothing to do with me.

Don’t get them involved.

Finish reading?

In the letter, my brother asked me

not to listen to you.

Yes.

He said

he would rather die.

He asked you not to risk yourself.

How dare you show this to me?

The more he stops you,

the more you want to save him.

Doomed.

We lost her.

Could you ask someone else?

Did we get something wrong?

Is that her?

Princess!

Are you all right?

I asked you not to follow me.

I’m worried about you.

Who did you meet, princess?

No one.

I’ve heard that Kaifeng is a prosperous city.

I just took a walk.

With no guard?

I like to be alone.

You.

You saved me.

And helped me.

I’ll give you more money as a reward.

But…

I’m a princess, anyway.

We have different social statuses.

We’d better not meet again.

I asked them to look for you,

because I was worried.

Let’s go back to the hostel.

Something is weird.

I shouldn’t have lost her.

People saw her all the way.

She’s a princess from Liao.

How could she get

ruffians in Kaifeng to help her?

You frowned.

What?

She said different social statuses.

And that hurt you?

It’s okay.

I thought carefully about that.

I’ll have you only.

Could you be serious?

You started it!

I feel weird about it, too.

In Kaifeng,

we even lost a princess

from Liao?

Did someone help her?

But we asked ruffians all the way.

Who could control them?

You make sense.

That’s impossible.

I asked someone to lie to Yuan Zhongxin

and lure him away.

Your student…

It’s too hard to cheat him.

Or how could he be my student?

If one day,

they know the truth,

how will they do to you?

None of your business.

Why do you bother?

Yes.

You’re right.

If you’re in danger,

I’ll be happy.

[Kaifeng Courier Hostel]

Seems like we can only get the truth

from the silly nephew.

He ran away.

Don’t you worry?
