Pang Ling, I heard a rumour.
They say if you are on a shift,
you won't use the washroomfor one whole day.
Where did you hear that from?
I heard it from the princesat the Royal Academy.
While I was working for theBureau of Astronomy,
I can hold it for two days.
You are bluffing.
You clearly left a few times today.
-Who said that?-Xu Bin.
He loves to bluff too.
He has a bad memory.
He keeps showing off to everyone.
But he is secretly tryingto memorize everything.
He is trying to remember all of our actions inside the Corps.
He drew a straw to makea choice, and he picked you.
8 o'clock!
Dusk!
" Longest Day in Chang'an "
Episode 21
I had my time with her.
You can stop now.
We still need her for the mission.
I only work for Lord Long.
I am not your hired assistant.
If your own agenda..
ruins Lord Long's plan,
I will kill you.
Yuchang Sword is a good sword.
If your own sword was used to harm your family,
it should be disposed of.
There is no pity in it.
You should go.
Whatever tasks you have for me,
you must leave them to me.
I am always indebted to you.
Elder Pu Zhe!
Stay here and keep watch.Stay safe.
Go!
Run!
Get your money now!
As long as Pu Zhe is still alive,
I can find out all about you.
Really?
Where is the assassin?He got away?
He will come back.
Why would he do that?
No one can be so foolish.
When a person lacks confidence,
it'll be easier to make a mistake.
We found this clericcertificate in this room.
It says his Dharma name is Pu Zhe.
He came from the Western Region...
and started living in Chang'ansix months ago.
The writings on this certificateis shallow, it might be a forgery.
The crossing scar on his hand is caused by a saber.
When facing the enemies,
the Tazis will attackthe enemies' hands.
It's a strategy to break their handsto secure a victory.
The Wolven Squadmade enemy with the Tazis.
Most of them are killed by the Tazis.
The muscle at his thighsare strong.
He spent a long timeriding on horses.
Look.
The shoulder has calluses.
This is the sign of wearingArmour for a long period of time.
Wearing Armour and ridingon horse all the time.
Hurt by the Tazis.
This elder was clearly one of the Wolven Squad.
He is You Cha.
He is awake.
I will go and get the doctor.
Breath!
Return to the Corps at once! Now!
We found the mastermindinside the Persian monastery.
His name is You Cha.
He is the younger sonof Ge Luo the Alpha.
It's him.
In the first year of Tian Bao era,
the Tazi defeated the Wolven Squad.
Ge Luo died in battle.
His youngest sondefected to Great Tang.
In order to recruit andrehabilitate the outlaws,
the Emperor showed them mercy.
His Majesty spared You Cha's life.
Wang Zong Si was sentto bring him back to the city.
You Cha was more sensiblethan his father.
He led the Betas and defected.
But his men are wounded.
The Emperor settled him down.
Director He was ordered...
to take good care of them...
in the name of Ministry of Rites.
He Zhi Zheng knows this man too?
He knows the deaconfrom the Persian Monastery.
You Cha is hiding inthe monastery as we speak.
Could this be He ZhiZheng's plan all along?
But it was his idea to foundthe Peacekeeper Corps.
He is investigating his own crimes.
That doesn't make sense.
On the feast tonight,
if the Emperor doespass the power to rule onto me,
what do you think will happen?
The Corn Prince and his ilk...
will have no means tofight against you.
Your eyes can never see the big picture.
If the Emperor passes on his power to me,
the Great Tang will welcomea new system.
The Emperor works in the darkand I will face the public.
I will be his shield.
This cover will be his weapon.
He can reign with no name.
From now on, nothing is true.
Everything is permitted.
Nothing is defined.
Such system is a novelty with no precedent.
All the flattery from the officers...
will be cleared in one fell swoop.
The laws will decide everything.
As long as the laws serves right,
for generations to come,people will remember...
just how prosperous andglorious the nation is...
in the Tian Bao era!
But not everyone can see that.
All I can see...
is that you hold all the powerin this land after tonight.
You are right.
Which is why someone is trying hard...
to make me...
stay inside this house even until now.
So,
should we send out mento the monastery...
and bring You Cha hereto interrogation?
Let Li Bi do it.
After they got the answer,
we will take over.
Yes.
Elder Pu Zhe is assassinated.
He is on his way to the clinic.
Go to the clinic now.
-Yes.-Close the door.
Let's go.
This plan...
was a sound plan.
Smart.
I am just an expert in lying.
It's just some lowly tricks.
I like it.
You claim to have good eyes.Take a look at them.
Are they the assassinsyou encountered?
-He and I...-Just say 'Yes' or 'No'.
He is the killer thatattacked You Cha.
He is the man for extraction.
-Are you sure?-Yes.
We can't let them escape.
Otherwise our monastery will face...
the charges of conspiringwith outlaws.
I want this monasteryto stay in Chang'an.
After you solved this case,I can get the boon from His Majesty.
Take him with you.
Back to the monastery.
You can stop staring at me now.
You were staring at me all day.
Pervert.
You...
will certainly be a mean old ladywhen you get old.
You are always grouchyand obnoxious.
What made you think so?
Because the personyou like the most...
could only spend one day with you.
Pervert.
Let me sing you a song.
Go ahead.
What's wrong?
No, I don't know any song.
How about a poem?I do know one.
Just one?
I am a grunt that joinedthe army at age of 19.
Warrior of Zhao, undecorated belt.
Cutlass of Wu, blade with shines;
Silver saddle on horseback,
starlights blurred into meteor lights;
A kill with every ten steps,
never stops with enemies in sight.
As the smoke clears...
I lay down the Armour and leave.
Living in hiding,away from the glory days.
I won't leave you.
The two of you, come with me.
Send all the pilgrimsand guests out of here.
-Shut this place down.-Yes.
Hurry up!
All friars, gather around me.
Something big is going down.
We must protect the monastery.
Six of you will keep watch here,
another six will guardthe gate outside.
Six of you will guard the corridor.
Hurry up!Get working, now!
No, we are no fighters.
-Can keep watch?-Yes.
But we don't have any weapons in here.
Just pick up anything you can get.
What are you waiting for?Get moving!
Hurry up!
The whole city is waiting for us.
It was so easy to trickyou into coming back here.
Don't you have confidence?
Are you sure you are oldenough to take this job?
They are useless.
They can't hold me for long.
It was her idea.
A single woman tricked you so badly.
Yet, you are still acting tough.
That is because your peopleare cunning!
Despicable!
It's just a dead man,why did you come back here?
What got you so nervous about this?
You know nothing!
This is the favouriteson of the alpha.
He once had a hundredbodyguards to escort him.
Three hundred servantsused to serve him.
He used the bone with goldeninlay as utensils.
Listen closely!
I am the best among my people!
I am the best!
If that is true,
it means your hideoutis not far from here.
You haven't spent much timein this city.
You are working for...
an organization thatassassinate targets.
You even have contacts toget a carriage from the clinic.
-You are a mercenary.-You are evil!
They call me the King of Hell.
Tell me.
Who hired you to kill You Cha?
There were many whotried to kill themselves...
by biting their tongues.None of them died.
Do you want to getmore punches? Speak!
Hold on.
My grandfather is a Persian Prince.
After our nation collapsed,
he even drank other's pissjust to survive.
But he always said that...
it's best to stay alive.
I am sure you have parents.
You are born and raiseby your parents.
They raised you into a strong man.
They raised you into the man you are.
If you are sent home...
covered in wounds and scars,
how are they supposedto accept your death?
If your parents see youdie in such a sorry state,
they will be hauntedfor the rest of their lives.
I took this job,
but I never expect to go home.
I will be buried wherever I died!
The Imperial Court will surelyfind your parents.
That man standing there...
will gladly send yourdead corpse to your parents.
No!
Little monk, back off.
A friar! I am a friar!
Back off!
During the Reign of Empress Wu,
there was a man called Lai Jun Chen.
Have you heard of him?
He invented the Eight Tortures of Lai.
I know all about it.
Each of the torture...
is more than enough tomake you die with grace.
Wait!
Let me see this guy out.
Please, go on.
Priest Jing De!
We got the killer and a bonus.
Not bad.
Don't let him get away.
Go, make surethe assassin is safe.
Sure.
Did you see that?You serve them with devotion,
but they want you dead!
They never saw youas a great assassin.
They see you as a lapdog!
I am sure you have loved ones.
Don't you want to see them again?
-I can't go home.-Yes, you must.
If you tell me who is the mastermind,
I can let you go.
It's the code of mercenary.
I took their moneyso I must kill the target!
I have others to take careof my family.
It sounds like protection.
But they are actually hostages.
If there is any sign of betrayal,
my family will be killed.
If Chang'an falls,
the Mercenary Garrisonat the border will be purged.
All of you will be killed.
Thousands of your peoplewill become slaves.
What kind of peoplewould take such a risk?
Don't have any suspicion?
Flame Master.It's the Flame Master
He took this job.
Has he met the employer?
Tell me the whereaboutsof the Flame Master,
I can work around andprove your innocence.
The Imperial Court will onlypersecute the mastermind.
Tell me, now!
-Pingkang Street.-Where in Pingkang Street?
Liu's Bookshop.
Once you are there,
tell the Flame Masterwhat you just told me.
He will listen.
I never expect to catch you here.
You are much morevaluable than that mercenary.
Do you care about that girl Wen Ran?
I know where she is.
If I get away,I will be sure to kill her!
I know all your tricks for torture.
I know all sorts of torture...
to let someone die in painafter a whole day of torture!
When she reunites withher father in the afterlife,
not even he can recognize her!
Commander Zhang, spare her!
Zhang Xiao Jing,I am staring at you again!
Zhang Xiao Jing!
The Zhi Xuan An Lescripture says,
'Watch over the world,
love your loved ones,
but people will leave eventually.'
'There is no guarantee for a reunion.'
'If one could let goof the attachments,
one shall be at peace.'
How do I be at peace with this?
Mercenary, never disobey the Imperial Court.
How do they even getcaught up in this mess?
When I was a child,
I envied those childrenin the Mercenary Garrison.
They live a free life.
They never need to learn aboutrules and manners.
As long as they possess a skill set,
they can live the life they please.
They did it to survive.It's not as decent as you thought.
The Garrisons are stations at the border.
The path is roughand the stronghold is small.
They can't farm or do any business.
When the Imperial Court needs troops,
they will get the suicide squadfrom the Garrison.
Only the desperate will choose this path.
They are either, banished convicts,homeless soldiers,
or families of exile,
they can do anything to surviveif you pay them.
For the past ten years,
the local authorities, commissioners,
and rich businessmen...
hire them to kill off targets.
Their jobs are to take lives.
There is nothing to be envied.
But they live by their own rules.
After they learned a skill set,
they can survive, they can be free.
Is Li Bi treating you well?
Sure.
If you get used to taking orders,
my master might be the besta servant can ask for in this city.
I should be grateful.
The Garrison is far away and hard to reach.
If anyone wants to start overand get a new life,
that could be a nice hideout.
You want me to run away?
As a servant,
I shouldn't be telling you this.
But as the citizen of this city,
I want the good guyto have a good end.
You looked pretty just now.
I hope you are not offended.
I followed my masteraround the officials.
All those officers always back outat the most crucial moments.
My master may be born a noble,
but they pick on himas he has no power.
They look down on him likehe is nothing.
Nothing is ever easy for him.
I felt like the life is gettingmeaningless at one point.
But today, I met you.
I felt like this city...
does have its charm.
Which is why I wantto give it my all...
to be useful.
Did you send the pigeonto General Guo?
Where is the killer?
