Not enough.
Do you want it?
Come in and take it.
The Wolven Squad is done for?
Without the Wolven Squad, it'll be much more time consuming
for us to move around in the city.
Fill up the carriage!
Fill it up with as many as you have!
- Do it now! - Yes!
How did they locate the Wanquan Manor so easily?
I don't know where Wanquan Manor is.
I did bring along a woman to stay there once.
No need to tell me about that.
I brought that lady there to see if the commandants on that street were oblivious or not.
Only useful people... are considered human in your eyes.
After today, the useful people will be bestowed with glory.
I don't want any glory.
You left that lady's token for those officers, right?
I didn't.
I just forgot about it because I left in haste.
I am useful.
I'm a useful person to you.
Prove it to me.
[The Longest Day in Chang'an]
[Episode 10]
Quickly.
Master Feng.
Is Zhang Xiaojing dead?
He's going to die soon. We brought Wen Ran back for you.
Many soldiers of the Royal Escort are here.
- Get in. - Yes.
Captain.
Send a report to the Peacekeeper Corps now.
How are we going to report it?
Great!
- Great victory! - Great victory!
Great victory! Great victory!
Great victory from Captain Cui.
His troops surrounded the empty manor in Xiuzheng Street
and wiped out the Wolven Squad from the city.
- A total wipe-out? - A total wipe-out.
All right.
What about Commander Zhang? Is he safe?
When Captain Cui was capturing the Wolven Squad,
Zhang Xiaojing was battling with a gang from the city and we lost sight of him.
Who sent this report?
Captain Cui did.
Tan Qi, go and come back as soon as possible.
Yes.
Hold it.
Captain.
Have you caught them?
No.
Two men without their headdress with a young woman.
They are so conspicuous. How can you not find them?
We had searched all the left streets closest to us.
We had gone through four streets... and we asked the residents around them. No one had seen them.
Two escaped members of Wolven Squad, do we need to truthfully report this?
You can report it then!
It's not the Royal Escort's first failure anyway.
If we are to be punished, we'll be punished together.
If we are going to die, we might as well die together.
Don't ever think about staying in Chang'an anymore.
Your mask.
Take off your mask and identify yourself.
Didn't you hear me? Take off your mask!
I came here to see the lanterns,
but I was caught up in a street fight.
I saw dead bodies, and there is blood everywhere.
Please let us go home as soon as possible.
I opened an incense shop on Anye Street. My family name is Wen.
What about them?
They are my friends who came with me to pray for a blessing for my father.
My father wanted to watch the lanterns this year.
But we never thought that...
he would have such a short life and not be able to see it.
You may pass.
Why did you help us?
Is Zhang Xiaojing dead or still alive?
You helped us just for that?
Are you sent by You Cha or not?
No. We are your You Cha's master.
You are lying.
You are the one who brought Zhang Xiaojing to us.
But he's a spy for Tang's army.
I'm going to kill you as a tribute for my brothers' deaths.
Captain.
- How many Wolven Squad bodies are here? - Captain.
- You can't keep this a secret— - Nobody...
Nobody knows how many of the Wolven Squad were here.
If we say that it's wiped out, then it's wiped out.
Are we doing nothing even if the two who escaped bring harm to Chang'an?
We will. I am here.
I'll arrest them.
If Zhang Xiaojing can arrest the Wolven Squad on his own,
I can do it, too.
- If somebody— - If anything goes wrong, I'll bear it.
This is the best way to protect the reputation of the Royal Escort.
Go in and help me do something.
Find two bodies of the Wolven Squad to destroy their faces.
Yes.
Move aside!
- Pervert! - Young lass.
Hide behind me.
Who are you calling young lass?
If you like it, then I'm calling you.
- Painful. - You can only wake up if there's pain.
It's really painful.
It's painful everywhere.
Let me sleep.
Commander Zhang, please pay attention to your words and actions.
Let me sleep for a while.
I never expected you to return today.
This is quite rushed for me.
But here, eat some noodles first to fill up your stomach.
When I come back later after work, I'll roast a lamb for you.
Wen Ran has chosen a good lamb for you.
The lamb is being marinated now.
Later, let Wen Ran polish your sword for you.
Now, she can polish it better than I did in the past.
Was anyone bullying you while I was away from Chang'an for a month?
We are fine. We eat well and sleep well.
I have two bowls of lamb soup every morning.
Why do you look so exhausted then?
What is wrong with you today?
You talk so much even though my bowl of noodles is here.
Eat it while it's hot.
You are the Sleuth-Hound captain now.
You have so many brothers under you.
Don't bear it all by yourself.
Recall that time in June.
You were spying on a thieves' den.
You took them out yourself without waiting for backup.
Look at the wounds on your body.
When Wen Ran saw them, she cried a lot behind your back.
Why are you working so hard?
This doesn't sound like something that you'd say.
Don't tell me that it's because of Chang'an.
Family doesn't do pleasantries.
I do it so that I can keep you safe.
It's the brothers' dream to come to Chang'an, right?
We are... living this dream for them.
So, I have to make sure that this dream stays a good dream every day.
But the fishy thing is
that Tan Tongshou suddenly sent me to Yanzhou to investigate a case of a run-away prostitute.
He kept me there for more than a month.
I think there are some shady cases in Chang'an that he wants to keep from me.
This man is not trustworthy.
Why are you so slow in peeling the garlic?
What is it?
The Chang'an now...
is different from what I imagined it to be.
- Somebody bullied you? - No.
This incense shop is doing well. What can possibly happen?
Eat well.
Ever since you said that you like chewy noodles,
Wen Ran has been experimenting with
how much salt in the dough will make the chewiest noodles.
She used me as a lab rat for half a month.
A father is no longer useful when the daughter has grown up.
Help me take good care of her.
I can't. I'm not her father.
What a scoundrel.
Fine. I'm going now.
Where are you going?
I'm going out on business.
What has happened to your father lately?
It's the base components of our family's Holy Rue Incense. I made this.
Have a sniff. Does it have the same smell as my father's mixture?
This is Wen family's secret recipe. It's smell is sharp–
I'm asking you a question.
You are usually so talkative. Hundreds of words for one question.
Why are you so quiet now?
If my father and I leave Chang'an,
will you come and find us?
Wherever your father goes, I'll follow.
Who wants you out of Chang'an?
- My father won't let me tell you. - Hurry and tell me, young lass.
I'm not a young lass anymore! I'm 19 already.
Then don't listen to everything your father says. Have your own mind.
- And I do that by listening to you? - Yes.
Who are you to me then?
Your father, you and I... are a family.
What happened to him? Tell me now!
My father went to deal with the Blaze Gang.
Since the beginning of the month,
the Blaze Gang has increased the monthly rent for all the shops on this street.
It's more than five times higher.
If we can't pay, we have to move out of this street.
But this is not the Western District.
We just have a small business.
How can we afford that?
But the Blaze Gang is insidious.
They picked out orphans, single mothers, and honest people
and sent those scum to stay in their houses to scare customers off.
They peed on the stoves and killed livestock to spray blood on the beds.
They disturb them all day and all night.
Keep going.
I don't know where they got the idea to build an inn on this street
for diplomatic envoys.
They did it to welcome the envoy from the Lesser Patola Sahi.
And they did it in order to purchase the land at a cheaper price.
The Blaze Gang forced shops to go out of business so that the whole street would have to move.
My father received news about it.
So, today, he's going to meet with Qin Jue, the second-in-charge of the Blaze Gang.
Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
This is Chang'an County. Not your Wannian County.
Besides, the Blaze Gang is backed up by the Ministry of Works.
My father will get to the bottom of this,
and he'll work something out for everyone.
You are back.
Xiaojing.
I need to trouble you with another thing.
Take good care of Wen Ran for me.
Where are the people from the Blaze Gang?
Young lass.
In the future, if you are unhappy,
ask Xiaojing to accompany you to the top of Chang'an...
- Captain Wen. - to watch the sun.
I... won't be able to accompany you anymore.
Captain Wen! Captain Wen!
Captain Wen, stand up! Captain Wen!
Stand up, Captain Wen!
Captain Wen.
Young lass, go out first.
Captain Wen.
I don't want to watch the sun of Chang'an.
I just want to see the heart of my enemy.
How long have I been sleeping?
Not more than two minutes.
The physician is not here yet.
You've changed my clothes for me.
A gentleman has a good heart and a neat appearance.
You are the commander of the Peacekeeper Corps now.
You can't be seen looking weak.
You are very attentive.
Get me my arm guards.
Am I your servant?
Are you bullying me for being a servant, too?
You have a skill, do you know that?
Yes, I can serve people.
You are different from others.
I keep on feeling that there couldn't be another lady
like you among the millions of people in Chang'an.
What is it?
You want me to help you with something?
Li Bi didn't take good care of you.
He made you look down on yourself.
After today's task, I'll hit him for you.
You dare do it?
You've seen me naked. I have to be responsible for you.
Pervert.
How did you hurt your hand?
You came from afar to ask a pervert how he hurt his hand?
I'm here under young master's order to see if Cao Poyan is dead or not.
Have you caught him?
I haven't seen his body yet.
What's the time now?
Fifteen minutes to three.
All right. Flaming Demon will arrive on time.
Mint, on my waist.
Quickly!
Don't be shy.
You are a bounty hunter.
The most expensive bounty hunter.
Feed me.
I work for you, but I have to pay you instead.
You are not willing to do it?
You saved me. I'm just repaying you for that.
It's ten coins as promised.
I'll give you one coin for every task that I help you with.
One coin for the ten lives and more of Su Transport.
Not cheap.
You should be happy that the Wolven Squad is all wiped out.
I'm still waiting for Tan Qi's confirmation.
We don't have the latest news yet.
The watchtower has reported that it's a great victory for the whole city.
The people already think that...
it's final news.
I just came back from visiting the crown prince. He has an order for you.
He said to terminate the Peacekeeper Corps and stop the investigation.
Then, get ready and go to the Grand Auditorium with me.
I have something to discuss with you before the royal feast tonight.
I can't close it yet.
We still don't know if any of the Wolven Squad remain alive.
You can't investigate anymore.
Why?
After the crown prince heard the news, he wrote a report
to General Guo Lishi so that he can give it to His Majesty.
We don't have the confirmed news yet.
If there are any mistakes, it will be considered as treason.
If you stop investigating, then it won't be like that.
If you continue to check,
it will be like that.
If some of the Wolven Squad escaped... and they continue to harm Chang'an?
The majority of the Wolven Squad have been terminated.
There is nothing to be worried about.
The crown prince wants to conclude this at once for the future of Chang'an.
You need to be clear about what is more important
and what is not.
Order everybody to break up and go back.
Li Bi, the crown prince is waiting for you.
We'll wait a bit longer for Tan Qi.
Seven feet and one inch tall.
Seven feet and two inches tall.
That's not right.
According to customs records,
the squad leader, Cao Poyan, is seven feet nine inches tall.
- Continue to check. - Yes.
He even asks you to come here and check.
Chief Li doesn't trust me?
You think too much.
The demise of the Wolven Squad has been reported as a victory. We need to double-check.
If the news is incorrect, others might accuse us of treason.
Bring out all of the bodies. Quickly!
- Yes! - Yes!
The Blaze Gang has failed. Zhang Xiaojing is still alive.
Word is, the Royal Escort of the Peacekeeper Corps has wiped out the Wolven Squad as well.
The crown prince has already asked Guo Lishi to report this victory to His Majesty.
If the crown prince lists out information that will harm your reputation to His Majesty tonight,
while the Peacekeeper Corps has achieved merits,
it will be bad.
The young people never understand this theory.
It's useless to speak up.
You need to see if the listener is willing to listen or not.
Now, the only one His Majesty will listen to
who is on the crown prince's side
is Director He.
He has returned home to rest, right?
The crown prince already had a secret meeting with Guo Lishi this morning.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Guo Lishi's men are everywhere in the palace,
so the word cannot be sent out!
His Majesty is going to have tea with Yan Taizhen in 15 minutes.
He has specifically asked Guo Lishi to serve them.
If Guo Lishi takes advantage of the crown prince's merits
and provides information to His Majesty that is unfavorable to you,
what should we do then?
There's only 15 minutes left.
San Nu sent me a message just now reporting
that two hours ago, Zhang Xiaojing
killed a spy while he was investigating a case in Pingkang Street.
Tell me something useful!
This spy had secretly investigated a case before.
It involved the trading of gold instruments in the palace in exchange for fake ones by Guo Lishi.
Do you have proof?
The spy is dead.
We don't have proof whether or not Guo Lishi was involved.
And nobody knows the location of the buried gold instruments.
You still lack finesse when you do things! How dare you report to me
if you don't have any solutions! You...
Go to the palace immediately
and send someone to exchange Yan Tai Zhen's tea set
with a chipped, old tea set.
Tell him that because of the grand feast tonight,
the good tea sets are all in use,
and there are no other tea sets left in the store room.
Something small will be able to bring a big difference.
Go now.
Yes.
Chief Li.
We haven't been home for three days. [An Zhuguo, Peacekeepers Corps officer]
If the Wolven Squad is wiped out, can you let us return home earlier?
Our families want to see the Great Holy Lantern at Xingqing Palace today.
The street will be blocked if we don't leave early.
How can you be sure that Xiuzheng Street's manor is the Wolven Squad's only hiding place?
What if there are others in the city?
Please don't do anything for the moment.
We'll wait for Tan Qi's news.
- Yes. - Yes.
This is the 47th body of the Wolven Squad.
Are there any female bodies?
We haven't found any yet.
They had a woman in here. Where is she?
When the rest of the Blaze Gang left, they had a woman with them.
The Blaze Gang is not our target. So, we didn't pursue them.
- The Blaze Gang left from the front? - Yes.
Who is the one who checked the backyard?
This body is seven feet five inches tall.
I said that he's seven feet nine inches tall. Any other bodies?
I think these are all of the bodies of the Wolven Squad.
There are still some bodies in the yard that belong to the Blaze Gang.
Most of the scoundrels have a vague registry.
If we want to check one by one, it will take several days.
We don't have Cao Poyan's body here, but Captain Cui has already reported a great victory!
Is it an oversight, or is it a false report?
It's not up to you to criticize me.
I asked him to make that report.
How many escaped?
I filed a false report to gain merits, so I've neglected my duties.
I need to know how many escaped.
You just need to blame it on me.
We have no relation whatsoever.
I won't take up your offer.
We are different. After today, you are still useful to the Great Tang.
How many escaped?
- Two. - Including Cao Poyan?
- Yes. - Is there's a woman?
Wang Yunxiu, daughter of Wang Zongsi, was taken away by Cao Poyan.
How do you know that she's Wang Yunxiu?
Cao Poyan said that it's her, and she didn't deny it.
Your subordinate said that the Blaze Gang had a woman with them, too.
Who was that woman?
A nameless woman. I couldn't afford to help her.
As long as she's a living soul, you have to help her no matter her status or rank.
You are Great Tang's soldier.
I was greedy.
I wanted to avenge my brother with my own hands.
But the Wolven Squad had kidnapped Wang Zongsi's daughter.
If they threaten him with his daughter and make him go to war for them,
I'll...
be the sinner of Great Tang.
Is there anything special about that woman's look or clothing?
Hairpin.
What's so special about it?
The hairpin she wore was modified from the head of an arrow.
This is a war arrow used in the Western Region, so I remember it clearly.
- Is there any way to save Wang Yunxiu? - Yes.
We have to keep this a secret.
If the court knows about it, they'll take back General Wang's military power at once.
Stupid lass.
Come here.
- What is it? - Come.
- Ready a horse for me. - Yes.
Why did you cover-up for Cui Qi?
We still have to complete the case, and Li Bi needs him.
Besides, I have my own personal reasons.
You confess so freely.
- Do you know Prince Yong? - Yes.
I knew that you'd know him.
Prince Yong lost his mother when he was young.
He was brought up by the crown prince.
He has known my young master since they were young. They have been in contact secretly.
That's how I know him.
No need to explain. I didn't ask.
Send a message to Prince Yong for me.
Tell him
to let go of Zhang Xiaojing's man.
Say it just like that. Not a word less.
- That's it? - That's it.
What do you mean by your man?
He knows.
As usual, there will be a spring race today.
Prince Yong will be at the racing track in Jinggong Street.
It's the opposite from the Peacekeeper Corps.
I have to report back to my young master. I don't have time for it.
There's time. You can make it. I know you can.
The person you meant is Wen Ran, right?
Li Bi is such a fox. He has researched me.
Wen Ran is a 20-year-old young lady.
She has an incense shop called Wen's Incense Shop, right?
Are you jealous?
Do you actually like me for real?
The leader of Wolven Squad, Cao Poyan is still on the run.
But you are just thinking about your private matters.
Why didn't you call me a pervert again?
What I asked you to do is related to work.
Don't get it wet. I should have asked the physician to clean it up for you.
If there's an inflammation, you'll have to...
You'll have to lose your whole hand.
Tell Li Bi that he has to trust me if he wants to use me.
You must get the message to Prince Yong. It's useful to Great Tang.
If you really care about Wen Ran, you should come clean to my young master.
Wen Ran was acting suspiciously today.
She's involved in big court cases and might know some secrets.
Some people will not let her live.
If you see Wen Ran, you have to tell her that
the Peacekeeper Corps is the safest place for her today.
- What case? - I've already told you too much.
