How is Yu Chang?
It's not serious.
Just some scratches.
It was you who attacked the Corps,
why aren't the soldiers after you...
but Zhang Xiao Jing instead?
This is Chang'an.
Will you help merescue Zhang Xiao Jing?
The operation is brought forward.
With an outlaw in the city,
those hounds and vultures...
will have their purpose again.
Can you give me your word on this?
If you can't, I will figuresomething out myself.
If you can't help me,don't try to stop me.
[The Longest Day in Chang'an]
[Episode 26]
Commandant Yao.
Chief Ji invites you to supervise the Grand Watchtower.
The watchtowers in the city are monitoring Zhang Xiao Jing's location at all times.
They will then report back to the Grand Watchtower.
You only need to supervise the commandants and receive news
and send out the arrest warrantordered by Chief Ji.
It won't be a hard task.
If you disobey the order of Chief Ji,
Commandant Yao,
returning to the crown prince's side right now
would not be a problem.
Yes.
Who's there?
I want to know the truth.
The assassination of the Right Counsellor,
was that your idea...
or is my teacher the mastermind?
Come.
Go and ask him.
Get the answer from him yourself.
Is he still in Paradise Height?
Where are you hiding him?
Where are you hiding him? Where are you hiding him?
- Come with us! - Where are you hiding him?
Where are you hiding him? Tell me!
Tell me!
I lost my sight.
Father.
Mother.
You needed me to be your eyes.
I waited over twenty years for this day.
But I can't see anything now.
Stop staring. No one can save you now, Chief Li.
You hate the government,
but the ones you hurt are the citizens.
An officer indeed.
You are all smooth-talkers.
If you kill Lin Jiu Lang,
your families and descendantswill never know a day of peace.
How dare you defend that vile fiend.
Everyone knows the crown princeand Lin Jiu Lang are rivals.
If you kill Lin Jiu Langand He Fu is the mastermind,
the emperor will definitely investigate His Highness as a suspect.
Don't you know? His Highnessis planning a tax reformation.
The chance of having a lesserburden is right before us.
Shut it!
Stop babbling.
Kill him.
Nothing you say can stop us now.
Kill him.
- I can let Zhang Xiao Jing live. - Hold on.
Only I can ensure his safety now.
Just let me return to the Peacekeeper Corps.

Chief Ji ordered all watchtowers in the city to follow the Grand Watchtower's command.
And to report Zhang Xiao Jing's location at all times to aid us to hunt him down.
Chief Ji ordered all watchtowers in the city to follow the Grand Watchtower's command!
And to report Zhang Xiao Jing's location at all times to aid us to hunt him down!
Send the order now!
What is going on?
After them!
Let's go.
"From afar I see the shadows of two people,
you see me by your side.'
What does that mean?
It's the Lantern Festival,
we solve riddles to celebrate it.
I agreed to send youto the ambush point.
Get going.
Let's go.
Wait.
We can't kill Li Bi.
He can save my benefactor.
No one can get intoyour way if you kill Li Bi.
Let him go.
It's too risky to keep him here.
Remember,
my operation must not be interrupted.
Don't worry about it.
He will only wake up after we leave this place.
Does the life of her benefactormatters so much to you?
Even more important than yours?
Silence.
Young lass.
Come.
Sir, let's have some fun!
I am already 52 years old. I can not take clients anymore.
Madam told me to hold this umbrella...
and spread the nameof the Blossom Parlour...
and tell everyone I meetthat Li Bai wrote the words...
on this umbrella.
If I use this chance...
Don't be afraid.
I am just passing through.
Keep going.
-But where should I go?-Just do as I say.
Take this. It is enough for you to eat a meal of lamb.
Thank you, sir.
Captain Zhang, come with us! Now!
Hurry up!
We can handle it from here!
Of the Eight Wonders of Chang'an,
I love Mount Tai Bai the most.
Li Dao Yuan wrote inhis work the 'Water Classic'...
that Mount Tai Bai is connectedto Mount Wu Gong at the south.
It is the most magnificentof all mountains.
Snow accumulates on the peaks in winter and summer,
a scenery of pure white.
Teacher.
I have a question.
I hope you can answer me honestly.
Even in summer,
the peak of Mount Tai Baiis so cold that it snows.
Chang Yuan, tell me something.
Does one become coldfor being above everyone,
or is it that one can climb high because one is inclined towards being cold?
Are you talking aboutthe mountain or a person?
Mankind follows the way of earth,and earth the way of heaven;
Heaven follows the way of Tao,and Tao the way of nature.
We may enjoy the scenery,
but in the end we wishto meet someone.
I appreciate the lesson.
Teacher, may I ask, the fact that He Fu was planningto assassinate Lin Jiu Lang,
do you know about this?
He Fu was no fool.
He spent over twenty years with you,
he was always by your side.
Do you know about his plan?
I spent more time withthe crown prince than with him.
He hired the Wolven Squadand Long Bo.
He rented several houses.
It could cost a fortune.
Where did he get the money from?
If you knew only that He Fu was a fool,
why did you let him sell those housesin the city for you?
Where did the money from selling the houses go?
Teacher, why aren't you saying anything?
He Fu entered my manor when he was six years old.
He was raised with my teachings.
He is my son.
He is my son!
Is he the mastermind or is it you?
Or perhaps...
the crown prince?
If the Right Counsellor is killed,
the crown prince will gain the most...
from his death.
If I orchestrated all of these,are you going to stop me...
or not?
I will stop you.
He Fu is planning treasonand that is a crime.
I can no longer wash escape from being suspected.
Neither can the crown prince.
Only by wiping Lin Jiu Langfrom the face of the earth...
can we be freed from the charges.
There's still a chance...
for His Highnessto turn everything around.
Remember, your ambition isto realize His Highness' ambition.
Truth doesn't matter as much.
You never really wanted to stop He Fu.
Is that right?
Great!
Make way!
We will wait for the targetat junction of Shengye Street.
Great!
Is He Fu settled down?
Yes. He's in great comfort.
- Yi Li.- Great!
Young lass, go with her.
Go!
Great!
General Guo sent meto urge for your departure.
The Holy Lanternwill be lit at midnight,
the emperor hasnew policies to announce.
Right Counsellor,you need to be there.
Gan Shou Cheng deployed 300 men of the Right Cavalries as escorts for the entire trip.
Did you calculate it clearly yet?
Do you know where the Crouching Fire may be planted?
To travel from Pingkang Streetto Xingqing Palace,
we need to pass the junctionat Shengye Street.
The road there is wide.
Merchants and common folkscommute via this road.
Thousands of people...
are heading to Xingqing Palaceto watch the Holy Lantern.
The security is heavyat Xingqing Palace.
But there are less guards on the road.
There is a cross junction,
which is suitable for the escape of the culprit.
The junction at Shengye Streetof Eastern District...
poses the greatest danger.
People look at one's clothes to determines one's status.
This is for the best.
I am glad to see this,what do you think, Si Fang?
The purple robe is beneath only the Emperor.
It is the most venerable color.
It suits you the best,Right Counsellor.
Sir, pleasetake good care of my family.
Come with me.
Father.
No one can stop us now.
My lord, the double is on his way.
Are the name list and chargesfrom Censorate...
prepared?
If the double is killed on his way,
it will be our evidence.
The crown prince and his ilk,
Li Shi Zhi the Left Counsellor,
Han Chao Zong the City Governor,
Wang Zong Sithe Commissioner of the North,
Huangfu Wei Mingthe Commissioner of Longyou,
Wei Jian the Vice Censor-in-chief,
they will all be persecutedby the emperor.
This will be the end of the crown prince and his party.
My lord,
perhaps I can giveyour shoulder a massage?
Pretending to be cowardcan be rather tiresome.
Come on.
Hurry up, get the saltand dried meat.
Get the sesame biscuitsand all coins you can spare.
Yes.
Captain Zhang, put this on.
Chunming Gate is the nearest exit from here.
You know the way. It will be quick.
Pass it to me.
I've prepared the documentfor you to leave the city.
I know the man who guards the gate.
Paint some mud on your face. Tell him it's soot from the fire.
If they won't let you through,
take this and tell them Big Luosent you out on a mission.
Sir, I know you are the stubborn kind.
You will never be a deserter.
But when selling your life to do a task,
At least make sure it's worth itbefore you take the job.
At least that is what I would do.
They tortured me, humiliated meand mocked me,
and they want me to riskmy life for them? Fat chance.
Nonsense!
Captain, take this.
Escape through the window.
According to the watchtower,
the Sleuth-hound never actwithout orders.
Something is at miss.
Something is indeed at miss.
Brothers.
They say we are not doing our jobs.
So today,
let's show themwhat we are capable of.
Open the door!
I need to fix the house.
Fix the house...
Appraiser Yuan.
Worthless imbecile.After him!
Target spotted in first alley,Third Quarter of Pingkang Street.
He is moving towardsthe second alley to escape!
All Sleuth-hounds in the city,assist the troop...
in the first and second alley...
of Third Quarter in Pingkang Street.
Block his exit.Send the words now!
Commander Zhang,you can't go that way!
Mercenaries are everywhere,I've been following them.
They want you dead, let's hide. Now!
Come on, stop standing there.
It's normal for heroes to run away.
Let's hide and solve the case later.Come on!
Come on!
There is no hero here.
There is only a convict on death row.
I can't help Chang'an anymore.
I can leave now.
[Right Counsellor]
Make way!
Excuse me.
Get down!
Help!
As you ordered, the explosive we gave him are nonfunctional.
I tempered with the crates.
The wick is attached to the barrel.
It won't explode.
Explosives that do not ignite might make a louder noise.
Back off!
Stand down!Back off!
Back off!
Come with us!
Isn't this the dumb son His Highness granted Director He?
- A dumb one?- With some investigation,
I bet there will be others involved.
This man tried to assassinatethe Right Counsellor. Take him down!
Find out who orderedthe assassination.
You arrested the wrong man! The real culprit wasn't him.
- Who is he?- Save me!
Save me!
I am with the Peacekeeper Corps.
The mastermind is someone else.
Save me!
The Peacekeeper Corps was just attacked.
This man must be working with the enemy!
Arrest him for interrogation!
- Save me!- Make way!
Save me!
Stand aside! Make way!
Get up!
Please, excuse me.Make way!
I am sorry for this,allow me to stay here for a while.
If someone asks of me,tell them I've never been here.
Do you have money?
My client stood me up.
Madam will scold meif I don't earn enough money.
I will give you 5000 qian.
Take my cheque to get it later on.
I want money right now.
I came from six generations of nobles,I don't go back on my word.
We are in Chang'an.
Who knows if the nobles...
will become nobodies the next day?
Cash.
I don't carry money with me.
Well, I can't be of service for you.
But this looks like itcan be sold for a fortune.
You can't have that.
Open the door!
Open the door!We are the Right Cavalries!
You...
- Open the door!- Send them away first.
You can have this later.
Open the door!
Hurry up!
-Just hide in there.-Open the door!
I am holding you to this.
I am coming!
Open the door! The Right Cavalries are performing an operation!
Open the door!Hurry up!
Officers, how may I help you?
Did a man in green Taoist robecome in here?
Sure. Officer, get that thief for me!
Where is he now?
He ran away after the job is done.
He was heading east just now. He just left.
Officer, will you arrest him for me?
He owes me 120 qian!
Are you sure he is wearinga green Taoist robe?
Yes, he is about 30 years old.
His skin is dark like rust.
Curse it! You are wasting my time!
-Let's go.-But...
But...
People are horrible nowadays!
May I pass through here?
I have an investigation going on.
An officer?
Great!
If you leave, what about the case?
What about Li Bi?
This isn't a case that I can break.
I can't find the answer.
My brothers died in vain for this.
What about Miss Tan Qi?
Great!
She will have better life without me.
What about the friars?
- You can't let them die in vain!- I don't care!
What about the people of Chang'an?
Great!
There are ten thousand officers in Chang'an!
I am just a convict. I can't do their jobs.
Great!
Stop following me around.
Zhang Xiao Jing,you can't back out now!
Target is moving towardsChunming Gate to escape!
He is trying to leave Chang'an!
