Young Blood

Episode 40

What’s wrong with me?

My Lord, you’re awake?

My Lord.

Why am I here?

Where’s Princess Zhao Jian?

My Lord.

Her friends

sent you back.

They said

you were asleep.

Asleep?

Wait a minute.

Is she all right?

For your information,

Prince Zhao sent a message that

the thief was caught.

Nothing went wrong.

Isn’t she wounded?

She said

the pig blood splashed on her

when the pig was killed.

Wasn’t she knocked out?

My Lord.

Don’t bother, all right?

They’re the royal family.

Maybe,

they were just kidding.

Let me think about it.

Let me think about it.

A team of soldiers didn’t come out, did they?

My Lord.

Are you all right?

For your information,

it was too dark in that room.

We somehow fell asleep.

When we woke up, we were back.

What the hell!

My Lord.

We’re all safe,

and nothing is wrong with Prince Zhao.

Just forget it.

Where’s General Yuan?

He went to his younger brother for a talk.

A long talk, he said.

He asked for

two days’ leave.

Two days for a long talk?

What do they have to talk?

He isn’t awake, is he?

We drugged a lot.

It will take a while.

Your brother didn’t expect us

to catch him,

instead of Zhou Xuan.

Get him in.

Did you make it?

We brought him back.

You’re back, too?

I’ve sent Mr. Zhou back.

I said everything I should.

But I’m afraid he still suspects.

In case of troubles,

Zhao Jian will take care.

Mr. Zhou won’t

interfere with a princess

unless she hurts the country or people.

Let him think Zhao was kidding.

Where is she?

Helping Yuan Zhongxin take his brother back.

She stopped us from helping.

Let her stay with Yuan Zhongxin.

At this moment,

Yuan Zhongxin needs

her support the most.

After all, he must feel bad

when setting a trap for his own brother.

I’m afraid your brother will be angry

after he wakes up.

I’m doing this,

to help him out.

I didn’t expect you

to tell us

that he knew Miqin Mubei

and he wanted to

assassinate Zhou Xuan.

I thought

you would have hidden it from us.

Do you remember when my brother

was caught by Liang Zhu?

Apparently, Liang Zhu tortured him illegally.

But I took him away secretly,

instead of telling the government.

It means

you knew something was wrong with him.

At that time, I didn’t think

the nation was as important as my brother.

What about now?

Instead of saving him,

you caught him.

Now, I think they both matter.

I don’t want him to assassinate Zhou Xuan

to make a big mistake.

I failed to stop him.

I had to catch him.

I just fear he might hate me

when he wakes up.

You did the right thing.

Can I have a word with him alone?

I’ll be waiting out there.

Thank you.

Whatever difficulties we have to get through,

I’ll stay with you.

Let him talk with his brother privately.

What if he fails to convince his brother?

We can’t always lock his brother up.

He took in the stupefying smoke.

If it no long works,

we can’t defeat him

even if we fight him together.

Whatever happens,

we will face it together.

I think so, too.

I just hope

Yuan Zhongxin can convince his brother.

It’s better not to fight.

You make me nervous.

You’re awake?

You pretended to kidnap Zhou Xuan.

In fact, you wanted to control me.

Not really.

On the one hand,

I don’t want you to make a big mistake.

On the other hand,

I want a serious talk with you.

Talk?

About what?

I know you have concern now.

If it were in the past,

I would have accompanied you

and helped you,

if you wanted to kill Zhou Xuan.

Truth or nation?

Screw them all!

You’re my brother.

Whatever your plan is,

I’ll follow you.

And now?

I’ve been staying with those idiots for long.

I think much

and I care for much.

To be honest,

I don’t care

if Zhou Xuan is alive or dead.

But behind him,

there could be a conspiracy

hurting the nation and its people.

Before we figure it out,

he must be alive.

You’ve grown mature.

Those idiots changed me.

Does he mean

us?

Shut up.

Compared to the past,

you’ve changed a lot.

You’ve grown better.

You can change, too.

I can’t.

I must take revenge!

Even if you insist,

you can still find out the truth first.

Isn’t the truth clear yet?

Even if Zhou Xuan killed the soldiers,

we can…

we can tell the government

and punish him upon military laws.

Zhou Xuan has many friends in the imperial court.

He will be fired, at most.

He won’t be killed.

Must you kill him?

Nine thousand soldiers are waiting in hell.

I won’t let you make the mistake.

I’m not going to kill him in Binzhou.

What?

I promised to cooperate with you,

just to figure out

what you want to do.

You’re okay?

Be careful.

Walls have ears.

You knew it?

Now I know what you want.

I’ll take care of

the rest.

You don’t need to bother.

Wait.

You know.

Even if you fight me together,

you can’t stop me.

I know.

Let me go with you.

Since I can’t stop you,

I’m going to work with you.

The same trick?

I tried to lock you up.

Since I failed,

I’ll give up.

You don’t let them help?

Like you said,

we can’t stop you.

In catching you,

they did a really good job.

What we’re going to do

is a capital offence.

I don’t need them.

And I don’t need you, either.

I’ll handle that alone.

Miqin Mubei is rather crafty.

I can consider for you, at least.

I promise you.

Even if I can’t stop you from killing Zhou Xuan,

I will protect myself.

Why can’t we hear anything?

Weird.

Why is there no sound?

Where are they?

Ran away.

Didn’t he take in the stupefying smoke?

I’m afraid we’re cheated.

Why is Yuan Zhongxin gone, too?

Why didn’t he ask for help?

In case we might be involved.

Go after them!

Why did you stop?

You ride army horses.

We can’t get away.

By the way,

how did you get such horses?

Borrowed from Zhou Xuan.

With what reason?

Yuan Boqi is missing.

I have to run after who kidnapped him.

It’s in the wilderness.

How did you find us?

We’ve learnt tracking skills in the class.

And you listened carefully?

As a child of a military family,

I know the importance of scouts.

So, I listened carefully.

Yuan Zhongxin.

How disloyal you are!

I tried.

I had planned to lock him up

and control everything.

But you know.

We can’t

lock him up.

You shouldn’t have run away with him.

I have to

help my brother.

We can do something together.

No way.

I know him.

Since he can’t be locked up,

he will kill Zhou Xuan.

If you stay with us,

you’ll take the same blame.

It’s his stuff.

I don’t want you to get involved.

We’re friends.

Just do me a little favor.

And pretend you didn’t come

or see us.

Let us go.

Yuan Zhongxin.

I know what you’re going to do.

You have two options.

First,

stay with us.

What’s the other option?

Take me with you.

Sorry.

Good.

Brother.

It’s my own business.

You don’t need to bother.

Zhao!

Why are they fighting?

What if they get hurt?

Go help them!

Who?

Both of them.

Stop!

Let him go!

You want nothing else,

except your brother?

I’m doing it for your own good.

It may not be Zhou Xuan

who gave the deployment diagram.

Maybe

it is a capital offence.

Let me

check this alone, okay?

Whatever result it might be,

I can handle that.

Yuan Zhongxin.

Leave without me.

Instructor Liang?

You had a plan with Liang Zhu?

So, he had a plan?

Is he all right?

He’s no longer bleeding.

The wound is no big deal.

He’ll be better in a few days.

Why isn’t he awake yet?

It’s hot!

He’s been

worried about his brother for long.

Let him have a good rest

these days.

All right.

Let him sleep.

Where’s Zhao Jian?

Don’t you go and see him?

I stabbed him.

I know.

He won’t die.

You’re cool.

I used to wonder

why Yuan Zhongxin never told you

that he liked you.

It’s not the way he used to be.

Until he told us the reason

by the riverside.

What do you mean?

He didn’t dare to be with you,

because of Yuan Boqi.

He knew

his brother contacted Xia people after the war.

He couldn’t get away from it.

And he didn’t want you to get involved.

With you,

he has his Achilles' heel.

I can understand.

You’re angry,

because he cheated you

and didn’t tell you his plan.

So, you’re annoyed,

sad

and unconvinced.

Because you think you’re still an outsider

in his eyes.

But the truth is…

He’s protecting you

in his own way.

A stupid way.

But he really cares for you.

If we were him,

would we get

the one we love involved

in case of such troubles?

Only one wrong point.

I’m unconvinced,

because I see the impasse

in front of Yuan Zhongxin.

I want to stop him.

Brother.

Sorry.

You have predicted everything,

haven’t you?

Took away your brother,

or let me stab you.

You considered for everyone,

except yourself.

Yuan Zhongxin.

I won’t listen to you this time.

Whatever we have to face,

I must stay with you.

Thank you.

I bought the house from a villager.

It’s secluded.

With whose name?

A false name.

No one knew me.

What about the boat?

As you planned,

I bought it

and picked you up where we agreed.

No one saw it.

They saw you.

And they must know

you’ve been working with me.

But it’s too late.

Let’s get in.

How is he?

No longer bleeding.

But he isn’t awake yet.

Where’s Junior Wei?

Changing clothes for Yuan Zhongxin.

What about Xue Ying?

He wants to keep busy

and has gone out for patrol.

That makes sense.

It was abrupt that

Yuan Boqi ran away.

Instructor Liang was the most confusing part.

He used to be incompatible with Yuan Boqi.

Why did he pick him up

at the exact moment?

Yeah.

Instructor Liang used to hate Yuan Boqi.

Why did he suddenly turn up?

When I think about it again,

I find something weird.

Think about it.

Why did Instructor Liang come to Binzhou?

To kill Yuan Boqi, didn’t he?

When did he do that?

After we arrived.

Something was wrong.

If Instructor Liang really wanted to kill Yuan Boqi,

he should have done that.

Why

did he wait

until we arrived in Binzhou?

You mean?

He did that on purpose?

To show us.

For what?

For letting us know they don’t get on well.

While in fact,

they have joined hands earlier.

The secret letter.

Instructor Liang must have given it to Yuan Boqi.

Then no one sent the message to Dean Lu.

I sent a servant for that.

If a servant could do that,

why did we ask Instructor Liang for help?

We worried

Yuan Boqi would spy on us

and make a snatch for the letter.

Now we don’t need to worry.

Will they join hands to assassinate Zhou Xuan?

God of War in frontier

joins hands with the best instructor of imperial guards.

I don’t think we can stop them.

Yuan Zhongxin!

Why are you out?

Why are you out?

I’m patrolling around against enemies.

But I didn’t expect to stop you.

You get me wrong.

I told Wang Kuan and Zhao Jian

about it.

I should take care of this.

So now,

I’m going to track my brother down.

I wasn’t born yesterday.

You’re wounded.

They would never let you out alone.

It’s my own business,

and I’ll handle that alone.

Go back.

Xue Ying.

If it were about your parents,

would you handle that alone?

It’s different.

Why?

My brother has great martial arts.

If you go,

you must be hurt.

But I’m different.

Whatever happens,

he won’t hurt me.

I’m the best person to stop him.

We’re not scared.

I am!

You’re my only friends.

If you’re hurt,

what could I do?

Just because we’re your friends,

we must stay with you.

Just because we’re friends,

shouldn’t we trust each other?

Sure!

Since we trust each other,

shouldn’t you agree with

whatever I say?

But you’re wounded.

Just because I’m wounded,

shouldn’t you stop annoying me?

Shouldn’t you lend me some money?

Yuan Zhongxin did it?

Damn Yuan Zhongxin!

He knocked me while I helped him!

What happened?

He’s wounded.

And his clothes are bathed in blood.

I wanted to change the clothes for him.

So, I took off his robe

to get a new one for him.

Then I realize

his pants were dirty, too.

I thought

I should change his pants, too.

When I was taking off his pants…

Cut the crap!

Just get to the point.

When I was taking off his pants,

he suddenly woke up

and tied me like this.

He said he would take care of his brother’s problem.

Yuan Zhongxin tricked us again!

Xue Ying.

Yuan Zhongxin ran away.

We’re looking for him separately.

He went that way.

You didn’t stop him?

I think he’s right.

That’s his family stuff.

He should take care of it.

If Yuan Boqi kills Zhou Xuan,

that’s not family stuff,

but a national affair.

What else did he say?

He borrowed money from me.

I gave him all I had.

Why do you come again?

Why can’t we kill Zhou Xuan?

It’s clearly written in the letter.

He was the traitor.

I didn’t say we can’t kill him.

But not in Binzhou.

What do you mean?

In that battle,

thousands of soldiers died.

How could

such a disaster be easily forgotten?

I didn’t forget it.

What about others?

Who else could still remember the dead soldiers?

What do you mean?

In Tso Chuan,

Si and Rong

matter the most for a country.

Si

refers to sacrifices.

Rong

refers to battles.

Qichuan village is where the battle happened.

Think about the time.

The death anniversary is coming.

Only by killing Zhou Xuan

in Qichuan village

can you placate the dead soldiers

and calm them down

in peace.

Only such a sacrifice

is grand enough for them.

However,

Zhou Xuan has a strong background.

You may not succeed in

killing him in Binzhou.

Only with a sudden attack in Qichuan village

can you make sure you kill him.

General Yuan.

What do you think?

Kill him in Qichuan?

What can you get from that?

When the battle in Qichuan village is brought up again,

it can also remind Xia people.

They will remember that

it was the crown prince

who won the battle.

With people’s support,

Yuan Hao will think twice.

He may slow down his evil plan against the crown prince.

You want me to win the support for Ninglingge?

You want to take revenge.

And I want to win the support for him.

We just take what we want.

He’s right.

Qichuan village is the best place.

Kill him, too.

Anyway,

he’s a Xia general.

He takes the blame for the battle in Qichuan village.

We can’t kill Miqin Mubei.

Why?

For a simple reason.

He’s a Xia general

and the envoy for this peace negotiation.

If he dies in Song,

the war will be started again.

We want to take revenge,

instead of breaking the peace.

No more people should be sacrificed.

I hope you can understand.

What if Zhou Xuan doesn’t go to Qichuan village with you?

I’ve convinced him

to go with me.

Sure.

I didn’t tell him he was the sacrificial offering.

I’m afraid there’ll still be troubles.

Everything is ready.

The only trouble

is Yuan Zhongxin.

If they remind Zhou Xuan,

we’ll lose.

I’ve got it prepared.

They won’t meet Zhou Xuan.

But they’re smart.

They can always surprise us.

After going back to the camp,

I’ll send troops to catch them.

They’re doing the right thing.

Don’t hurt them.

Don’t worry.

I’ll just take them under control.

You know.

They’re hard to deal with.

And then?

After killing Zhou Xuan,

I will certainly be executed.

By then,

they’ll see

Yuan Zhongxin and his friends were locked up.

They would be vindicated.

You really care for your brother.

In the name of catching him,

you’re protecting him.

The past

has nothing to do with them.

You’re right.

Seems like you’ve got everything ready.

Why did you ask me to bring you here,

instead of sending you to the camp?

There’s something

I have to handle.

What is it?

You asked me

to keep an eye on Liang Zhu, didn’t you?

He bought the cabin here.

I’m sure.

I can confirm from the horse.

What?

Nothing.

Thank you.

Walking away?

Where’s Liang Zhu?

General.

We’ve tracked down to Section 7.

Two missions

for you.

Have you found him?

Not yet.

I shouldn’t have let him go.

Not your fault.

He can talk your ears off.

Zhao Jian hasn’t been back yet.

Maybe she’s got a clue.

She looks

rather angry.

Maybe she’ll just slap Yuan Zhongxin to death

after she finds him.

Don’t be kidding.

I’m serious.

Yuan Zhongxin cheated her twice.

Could she still bear it?

Someone is coming.

Zhao Jian is back?

No.

More than one!

Get down!

Who are they?

Why is it you?

Yuan Zhongxin!

Don’t get angry.

Let me make it clear.

It’s not a trap for you.

Anyway, I didn’t know

you would come.

Tell me.

How did you get here?

I went to where beggars lived

and paid them

to look for you.

How did they know I was here?

Beggars

aren’t secret agents.

You paid them to keep an eye on Liang Zhu.

Immediately they were paid,

they told others.

Zhao Jian!

I didn’t expect you have known me so much!

Put me down!

No. No. No.

Let me explain.

Or after I put you down,

you might even kill me.

You’re scared, huh?

I didn’t set the trap for you.

I had meant to

trap my brother.

What do you mean?

I saw him going out alone.

I came in to have a look.

Then I saw Instructor Liang on the ground.

Your brother knocked him out?

Why?

No idea.

I just saw him leaving,

without a horse.

I thought he would be back.

And I prepared the big net for him.

Unexpectedly, you were trapped.

Do I make myself clear?

Have you calmed down?

I have.

Put me down.

Promise you won’t punch me.

Okay.

I promise I won’t punch you for this.

Not for others, either.

We’ve been friends.

Don’t be so mean.

You know we’re friends.

But you don’t even

trust or understand me.

It’s hard to explain.

I just don’t want to get you in trouble.

Do you think I care for that?

It’s a family trouble.

Why must I get you involved?

I’m not afraid to be involved.

But I am!

If you die because of me,

I’d rather die alone.

Put me down.

Your brother is coming.

Yuan Zhongxin.

Hurry!

You can’t handle him alone.

Hurry!

I think

it’s better to leave you here.

Yuan Zhongxin.

Yuan Zhongxin!

How is your wound?

It’s okay.

I’m relieved, then.

Forget it!

Explain to me.

What happened in the room?

You knocked Liang Zhu out?

Yes.

Why?

What’s wrong?

Yuan Zhongxin!

Why did they stop?

Shall we go out to have a look?

They might be waiting.

Don’t worry.

I’ll go check from the roof.

Someone on the roof!

Hurry! Go!

What do you want to ask?

Go ahead.

You cooperated with Liang Zhu from the beginning?

Yes.

I assumed office in Binzhou

and was ordered to protect Xia merchants.

You know.

I’ve been looking for

the traitor in that battle.

So, you kidnapped Mozang Baoli?

It should be Miqin Mubei,

AKA, Ding Er.

I know.

But he has too many guards.

And we’re negotiating on peace.

If I kidnap him,

the war will be started.

So…

I need a helper.

Liang Zhu?

I sneaked back to Kaifeng

and told him everything.

You told me your lingering experience

so that I could kill you?

I hope you can work with me

to find out the truth.

Instructor Liang.

The truth matters a lot to you, too.

You’re my only choice.

I have another choice.

I can kill you first

to get rid of the evil guy for our nation.

You shall

make the choice.

Tell me.

What do you want me to do?

After Liang Zhu came to Binzhou,

he found you came, too.

He told me

you were smart guys

and you might interfere.

We thought carefully about it

and he acted as if he wanted to assassinate me

to prove we were enemies,

so that you no longer suspected.

So, Liang Zhu didn’t mean to

assassinate Miqin Mubei,

but to kidnap him.

He failed.

Then you kidnapped Mozang Baoli instead.

Yes.

Mozang Baoli doesn’t get on well with Miqin Mubei.

So, he told us the truth.

Then why did you knock Liang Zhu out?

The job is finished.

He’s no longer needed.

No longer needed?

I know why.

You’ll be executed after you kill Zhou Xuan.

You knocked him out,

so that he wouldn’t help

and wouldn’t be executed.

You want to protect him.

I’ll take care of everything

by myself.

Why don’t you leave Zhou Xuan to the government

and bring him to trial?

I told you.

Zhou Xuan has a strong background.

It’s not easy

to convict him.

Have you tried that?

If you kill him,

you’ll be breaking the law.

You don’t need to sacrifice yourself

just to take revenge.

Don’t you want

your future or reputation?

Do you know

what matters the most to a man?

It can’t be money, huh?

Self-respect.
