Young Sherlock
Episode 10
- White Tiger.- Vermilion Bird.
- Gou Chen. - Black Tortoise.
Greetings, Left Envoy.
Leaders, you have worked hard.
Our people are hidden all over Iris Valley. We await your orders.
Iris Valley is filled with mysteries.
The people have just arrived, but there has been a fire and a snake attack.
We don't know what else will happen in the future.
You guys must remember not to act on your own recklessly
to avoid ruining our lord's big plan.
We understand!
Black Tortoise, this is for you.
Yes.
- You may leave.- Yes!
Contestants, enter the competition field!
They're coming in. Look!
- Greetings, Your Excellencies. - Greetings, Your Excellencies.
No need for the formalities.
You three are young, talented, and are ready for marriage.
You all have arrived to Iris Valley to attend Jingqiu's husband selection.
I feel honored.
I hope that you will compete fairly today
and do your best to exhibit our Great Tang's talents.
Thank you for your praise, Grand Tutor.
We will try our best!
Good.
Young Sir Gao, how's your leg injury?
Don't worry,
This small injury is nothing to talk about.
Even if one of my legs break, I'd still want to get first place.
Now I will announce the rules of the competition.
Each of you have ten arrows.
After the competition starts, colorful balls will appear in the sky.
You guys need to shoot down those balls while riding your horses.
Whoever shoots down the most balls will win this round of the competition.
Do you have any questions?
What if more than one of us shoot down the same ball?
Whose ball will it be?
Don't worry, Young Sir Xu.
I've also considered this situation.
If two or even three people shoot down the same ball,
the person who gets to it first when it reaches the ground
wins that ball.
Do you three have any more comments regarding this rule?
Where are the colorful balls?
Over there.
Don't tell me that's...
This is a Xuanwu cannon.
During the Xuanwu Gate Incident,
Taizong used this weapon to defeat Prince of Xi and Prince of Qi.
Every round, the Xuanwu cannon will shoot out two colorful balls at the same time.
There will be five rounds and ten colorful balls total.
This means that every round, there'll be one person who won't get the colorful balls.
Therefore, you three should pay close attention.
- Yes, Your Excellency!- Miss Du has arrived.
Greeting, Grandfather.
Jingqiu, this is Minister Zhangsun Runze.
Greetings, Minister Zhangsun.
Miss Du, how have you been?
I'm very thankful that you were willing to come here.
You're too serious.
It's my honor to attend this husband selection event.
Thank you, Your Excellency.
I am flattered.
Jingqiu, you will direct this contest.
Okay, Grandfather.
Okay, you three. Please mount your horses and get ready.
Jingqiu.
First round!
I'm going to get the ball. It's going to be mine!
Gao Dacheng, two balls!
Good archery, Dacheng!
If this continues, all ten balls will be his.
How can that be? I'm telling you,
Young Sir Chu will surely catch up.
He will definitely win.
There's no way. Their skills differ by so much.
Young Sir Chu, good luck!
I'm rooting for you! Can you see?
Good luck, Young Sir Chu!
- Miss. Miss.- What!
Watch your status.
Mengyao, shh.
Are you sure? Your life could be easily in danger.
The second round of the competition is starting.
Fly away. Fly away.
Fly away.
This is my ball.
Young Sir Gao, one ball.
Young Sir Chu, one ball.
Good. Good.
Minister Gao, Young Sir Gao is playing them like monkeys.
Minister Xu, a competition is like a battle.
There's no slacking off allowed.
How can it be like this?
Very good. Very good. Everybody look.
Sir Chu scored. I said that he'll definitely win.
If Gao Dacheng gets another ball next round,
I think this competition can end early.
Big Rooster, I'm warning you.
Close your unlucky mouth!
If you carry on calling me Big Rooster in front of everyone,
you'd better watch out.
You're threatening me?
Try it, then!
I will call you Big Rooster. Big Rooster! Big Rooster!
You can call me that,
but don't call me that in front of my father.
Okay. No problem.
Then we'll see how you behave from now on.
Big Rooster.
You...
Looks like there's no suspense in today's competition.
I'm not feeling the suspense right now.
I've seen many people good at horseback archery,
but it's my first time seeing someone like Gao Dacheng, with high accuracy even in motion.
Why? Why is Gao Dacheng so great?
Haven't you ever heard of the phrase "hit the target at every shot"?
What's so great about that?
Those who know a little martial arts can do it too, okay?
Then, are you brave enough to bet with me, Tong Mengyao?
Why would I be scared?
What will we bet on?
If Gao Dacheng wins today,
from now on, you cannot call me... Big Rooster anymore.
Then if someone else wins this competition,
what do you do?
As you wish.
Okay. So if someone else wins the competition,
then you will crawl one time around this stud farm.
How about it?
What kind of bet is that?
What? Are you scared?
Betting or not?
Fine. I'm not afraid.
Okay. Here.
Fourth round.
Grand plans.
My lord, Left Envoy has a message.
The Emperor secretly summoned Di Zhixun.
Young Sir Xu, two balls.
Good, Zimu, very good!
What's with Dacheng?
Look. Look. I knew that Gao Dacheng isn't good enough.
Someone needs to learn how to crawl like a turtle.
Strange. Why did he mess up at such a critical moment?
The problem should be with the horse.
The horse has a problem?
The horse is suddenly frightened.
It's not just Gao Dacheng. Chu Shangyuan's arrow was really off, too.
Unless it's...
Final round.
This time, I'm not giving you lot any more chances.
That can't be.
This ball is mine.
- This...- You...
Why did you suddenly butt in and force me off my horse?
I didn't know, either.
Didn't your horse also stop obeying orders?
Stop pretending!
Do you believe that I will beat you to death?
Gao Dacheng, watch your words.
If you're going to be a sore loser, then you shouldn't play.
All stop. All stop.
Stop. Stop. Young Sirs, talk it out.
Don't fight and break the peace.
Shangyuan, are you alright?
Dacheng. Tell me, what's going on?
Father, they're both working together to mess with me.
- I... - Outrageous!
Your Excellencies, you decide what we should do.
What a joke! Do you think Young Sir Chu is a fool?
Who doesn't want to win this competition?
Shangyuan, what exactly happened?
Father, I tried my best.
I can only say that Brother Zimu's luck was better.
We'll just have to do the next round of competition.
Chu Shangyuan, don't think I don't know what you two discussed.
Do you believe that I'll cripple you right now?
Stop! Don't mess around.
What kind of absurd behavior is this in front of the Ministers?
Minister Wang, they played a trick on me.
Please give me justice.
I played a trick?
If I played a trick, why would I let Zimu win?
Gao Dacheng, is there something wrong with your brain?
Who knows what you two discussed?
Gao Dacheng, if you dare to keep falsely accusing people,
then don't blame me if I report this to the Emperor when I return to Chang'an!
I say, Minister Chu, stop using the Emperor to scare me.
I don't believe that your Chu Family has that much power!
Everyone, please calm down, calm down.
Listen to me.
There were a lot of twists and turns in today's competition.
We all saw Gao Dacheng's superior archery skills.
However, Xu Zimu truly has five colorful balls in his hands.
I didn't expect that to happen.
Ministers, what insights do you have?
Why don't we vote to see who's the winner?
Vote?
I agree with Minister Wang.
What do you think, Minister Zhangsun?
Let's vote then.
Good, vote!
How about this? Black equals Young Sir Gao
and white equals Young Sir Xu.
Each judge may choose freely.
Contestants, please turn around.
Okay, you three may turn around now.
Ministers, please show your decisions.
How... how is this possible?
It's... it's a tie.
I guess you two tied.
What should we do now?
I think Miss Du should make the last vote.
Me?
Jingqiu, I think you should just do as Minister Wang suggests.
You should submit the last vote.
Okay, Grandfather.
Jingqiu, your vote is very important.
You must consider carefully.
I know.
Right now, I announce that the winner for this round of the competition is Xu Zimu.
Good.
Er Bao.
Okay.
Horse Sir, I'm sorry.
What are you doing? Crawl. Crawl.
No slacking off. Hurry and crawl. Hurry, go!
I'm telling you. Don't be such a bully.
I'm not being a big bully.
I'm teaching you what it means to accept your loss.
You also saw that Gao Dacheng was obviously better.
Who knew Du Jingqiu would choose Xu Zimu in the end?
I don't think that.
I think her actions show that she has good taste.
After we return to the Capital, I can gift you several good bolts of fabric.
No need. I have a lot at home.
Your family's is your family's.
Mine is from Persia. Ordinary people don't have it.
Persian? Isn't that very rare?
Get down! I'm telling you,
I don't want those things at all.
- Er Bao.- Okay.
Horse Sir, keep it up!
My family also has silver bracelets from Tibet. Do you like those?
I'll decide after you finish crawling.
We also have Korean ginseng. It's delicious in soup.
I'm telling you that I don't like drinking soup.
Hurry up with your crawling.
Giddy up!
Don't tell me to "giddy up," okay?
I'm a human, not a horse.
That's not important. What's important is, I'm so happy today.
Er Bao, let's go!
Okay! Horse Sir, giddy up!
I'm telling you, you'd better not fall into my hands, Tong Mengyao.
Don't worry, big rooster.
You'll never have that day.
Giddy up!
What's there to look at?
Hurry. Hurry up.
They're always fighting like this.
You're so slow. When will you finish one lap?
Have you not noticed anything?
What do I need to notice?
Don't you think those two care about each other's words and actions too much?
Really?
Yeah.
I think they care about and like each other.
But they both don't know.
Or they know, but don't know how to confess.
Is this explanation plausible?
Really? How come I've not noticed anything?
If it's not true, why would Sir Wang crawl on the floor just from losing a bet?
Yuanfang doesn't like to admit defeat.
Also...
Hey, don't you like reasoning?
Why did you suddenly become so stupid?
That's right, but that sounds pretty good.
Like how I'm with you.
I care a lot.
You care a lot?
What are you laughing at?
Poor Young Master.
Horse Sir, giddy up!
Today, you've all worked hard for the competition.
I'll toast you.
Young Sir Xu, congratulations for winning today.
I'll toast you.
Thank you, Your Excellency. I am flattered.
The other two contestants, don't be discouraged.
The competition has just started.
There'll be many chances in the future to express your talents.
Brother Zimu, it was impressive how you caught up today. I'll toast you.
Brother Shangyuan, you've overpraised me.
If it wasn't because of Brother Dacheng's existing leg injury,
how would I have won against him?
Here. Dacheng. I'll toast you.
Brother Dacheng, I'll toast you.
Hypocrite.
Gao Dacheng, what do you mean?
Gao Dacheng, are you trying to rebel?
Gao Dacheng, let Xu Zimu go!
Do you all think I'm stupid?
Gao Dacheng, you really shouldn't do that.
Dacheng. Quickly let go.
Xu Zimu, don't you feel guilty?
Gao Dacheng, no one is saying that your skills are bad,
but don't forget, that was Miss Du's decision to vote for me!
You think it's a good thing that Miss Du chose you?
What?
I'm telling you.
Your troubles are coming.
What are you saying?
Stop pretending.
Didn't you guys receive that letter too?
I don't understand what you're on about.
Gao Dacheng, are you drunk?
Xu Zimu, that ghost will come for you today.
Gao Dacheng, stop trying to scare us with your ghost talk.
If you're going to be a sore loser, then you shouldn't have come here.
Who cares about winning or losing?
I'm worried about your life right now.
Brother Zimu.
Brother Dacheng, stop with the acting.
I think the person who's trying to take my life is you.
Have you all forgotten?
Ever since we all came here, there hasn't been a single peaceful event.
I think those were accidents.
Accident?
Chu Shangyuan. You were the first to receive this letter.
You should know better than anyone else.
This definitely is not an accident.
Don't lie. I've never received this letter.
Gao Dacheng, stop with the suspense.
If you have something to say, then say it.
I received this letter while I was in Chang'an.
The letter says that a husbandless female ghost lives in Iris Valley,
and whoever catches her eye will die.
Gao Dacheng, take back what you just said immediately!
This letter also said the female ghost has a daughter.
Whoever marries her will meet bad fortune.
He might even lose his life!
Gao Dacheng, if you keep talking nonsense, you'll be disqualified from the competition.
I don't even want to compete anymore.
At least I can still protect my small life.
Chu Shangyuan, Xu Zimu, be careful.
You...
That guy is way too presumptuous.
- Let him go.- Dacheng!
This type of person isn't even good enough for our Jingqiu.
Grandfather, Foster Father, I don't feel too well. I'm going back to my room to rest.
Jingqiu, take don't what Gao Dacheng said to heart.
I know, there's no need to worry, Grandfather.
I'm only just tired.
Mother Qin, go with Jingqiu back to her room.
Yes, Your Excellency.
Who do you think wrote this letter?
Heaven knows.
Maybe an idle person wanted to scare us.
As long as we don't scare ourselves, then it'll be fine.
Why do I get the feeling that this place is really weird?
Just thinking about it makes me afraid.
Now that today has come, we can only take it one step at a time.
Now that Gao Dacheng has left the competition, it's down to me against you.
Brother Zimu, let's make a deal.
Deal?
I can let you win the future rounds of the competition.
Chu Shangyuan, what exactly are you up to?
You think I came here because of that Du Jingqiu?
If not, why are you here?
Do you know what is hidden at Iris Valley?
What item?
A thousand year treasure.
A thousand...
Thousand year treasure?!
Whoever finds it will become so rich that he can overthrow the nation.
There's really such thing?
I'm very sure.
I've heard people say Iris Valley has hidden treasures,
but people said that's just a rumor.
Nowadays, only rumors are true.
How about it? Why don't we two make a deal?
It's blood!
It's that female ghost!
Servants!
Hurry servants!
Look!
Shangyuan, Zimu! What happened?
What did you guys do?
Minister Wang, that female ghost has appeared!
Are you both hurt?
Where did the blood on your bodies come from?
Over there.
Is this the mask that the female ghost wears?
Yes, it is.
The eye area is full of blood.
You're certain that you saw her?
I'm certain. I also saw her.
Who?
It appeared.
Hey, why are you two guys so cowardly?
You didn't see it in person.
That female ghost had unruly hair and could fly.
You really saw it with your own eyes?
We definitely saw it correctly.
At first, she flew past the window.
Then, did you get a good look at her face?
Two brothers, what just happened?
I don't know.
I saw darkness and I don't know what happened next.
I saw a shadow.
Is it a man or woman?
Very like a woman.
She was wearing white clothing.
Then, did you get a good look at her face?
- No. - The female ghost really appeared.
This is the same female ghost that was mentioned in the letter!
Didn't you two say you never received a letter?
I...
Young Sir Di, to be honest,
Xu Zimu and I actually received the same letter as Gao Dacheng.
Then why didn't you mention it earlier?
We didn't want to create a scene to ruin the mood.
Right.
When did you receive the letter?
The sixth of last month.
Yes, around that time.
The sixth of last month?
The final competitors hadn't even been decided yet.
Even Grand Tutor and President didn't know.
How did that person know that you three would be selected?
That... I...
That's the odd part about this case.
What's wrong?
Did something else happen?
Minister Jiang, look for yourself.
The good shows are all happening today.
You two...
Your Excellency, the female ghost really appeared.
Female ghost?
Youe Excellency, these two received the same letter as Gao Dacheng.
I took a look. The handwriting is similar.
I believe the same person wrote it.
Nonsense!
The Iris Valley was my brother Du Mingyi's place of self-cultivation.
It is a very tranquil place. How could an avenging ghost appear?
Your Excellency, forgive my rudeness.
I have a question. I'm not sure if I should ask it.
Please speak, Young Sir Di.
Who's the lady that the letter mentions?
She's Jingqiu's mother.
Du Mingyi's wife, Fang Muran.
Eighteen years ago, Mingyi gave up his career and came to Iris Valley with Fang Muran.
They then built the Muran Villa.
Since then, the two lived happily together.
Later, Du Mingyi mysteriously died.
People say that Fang Muran brought misfortune to her husband.
They suspected that she killed her own husband.
Not long after, in guilty and despair, Fang Muran committed suicide.
At that time, Jingqiu was still a young child.
Sister Jingqiu mentioned this to me before.
It's just weird that such an old event is being brought up now.
Your Excellency, after Fang Muran died, did anything weird happen here?
There are rumors that Iris Valley becomes a dead-end at night.
Dead-end?
No one is able to leave this place after the sun goes down.
In the past, hunters would come here to find exotic beasts.
Sometimes, in order to chase after an elk,
the hunter wouldn't leave the valley until nightfall.
Later, he would go missing.
People said they were hurt by the wild animals here.
In the end, however, their bodies were never found.
I can't believe such a thing happened.
Minister, the female ghost must've really appeared.
Nonsense! I don't believe that ghosts live in Iris Valley!
These are just rumors to stir up trouble.
This is disrespectful toward Mingyi and Muran!
Your Excellency, please calm down.
I doubt a ghost really lives here.
I think someone is behind this.
Everyone, don't panic and give the culprit a chance to attack.
Young Sir Wang is right.
This person must have a goal in mind.
We definitely shouldn't let his plan succeed.
That's right, Your Excellency. Don't worry.
We'll try our best to investigate and reveal the truth.
Isn't that right, Sister Wanqing?
That's right. With Young Sir Wang and Di working together,
Your Excellencies don't have to worry.
Thank you.
I am truly thankful.
Minister Jiang, look at Young Sir Xu and my appearances.
Do you have any clean clothes for us to change into?
- Servants. - We're here.
Pass down instructions.
Help Young Sir Xu and Chu prepare baths and clean clothes.
Yes.
You two had a scare.
Rest early.
There will be a bigger test tomorrow waiting for you two.
Yes.
Where's Gao Dacheng?
Why isn't he with you two?
He currently has no burdens.
Why would he care about whether we live or die?
Furthermore, his martial arts are so good.
Why would we need to worry about him?
I, Gao Dacheng, am the first ranked scholar in the military examination. How could you two nerds outshine me?
Just wait and see.
I'll come and collect your dead bodies.
And you! Very well, you chose that Xu Zimu!
What a great embarrassment to me.
Du Jingqiu.
Miss Du, are you interested in having a drink with me?
Miss Du, you are quite something different.
In order to regain my dignity,
I will taste you tonight.
It's you!
Everyone, after you cross this small path, Iris Valley will be in front of you.
Twenty years ago, my son Mingyi brought a group guards and planted this area.
After Mingyi's death, I closed down the forest.
This place has retained its lush beauty.
The second round of competition will take place in Iris Valley.
It will act as a memorial for Mingyi.
Young Sirs, I wish you good luck in the beautiful Iris Valley.
Thank you, Your Excellencies. Xu Zimu and I will do our best.
