[Mao Shun: State Builder]
Leave.
Let us go instead.
- Master Mao, your grandchild...- Go! Leave now!
Leave! All of you. Get out from here!
Master Mao, Happy Lantern Festival.
Yi Li.
Happy Lantern Festival.
Mr. Long.
I've already done as you ordered.
Everything is ready in your home?
It's ready.
From now on, I'll have to depend on you fully.
Move aside.
[The Longest Day In Chang'an]
[Episode 31]
Guards!
Arrest Li Bi
and lock him up until the Censorate reports on him tomorrow!
- Yes.- Wait.
Right Counsellor, you want to impeach the crown prince.
But you lack evidence as of now.
I'm willing to find them for you.
You are indeed a smart man.
You only have verbal evidence. And they are all from people in your Right Chancellor Manor.
It will be difficult to escape criticizing voices that you are framing the Crown Prince.
As long as you support it with physical evidence,
you can prove without a doubtthe wrong-doings of the crown prince.
What is the physical evidence? And where is it?
When I find it, you'll know once you see it.
If I reveal it now,
complications will be hard to prevent.
Are you trying to lie a child?
You are just trying to get away and alert the Crown Prince, right?
Commandant Yao is right.
We have to attach ourselves to those who can win.
I'm just going with the flow.
This is what a smart person should do.
Besides, going into a ministryto serve the country...
has always been my ambition.
Now, I have theopportunity in front of me.
Why don't I take advantage of it?
How do I trust you?
You can send someone to come with and Tan Qi and I.
We won't be able to escape.
You want to bring your servant along too?
Yes.
She is useful.
Sign first, and then you can go.
Is there a sure-fire plan...
in this world that cansolve every problem?
You have to search the bookfor this question too?
I have no personal opinion on anything.
I rely on the database for the correct answer.
Only a useless person...
has no opinion.
It's not that I don't have any opinions.
But my opinion is always inaccurate.
I don't know if it's right or wrong.
One person's standpoint
is often limited by theirexperience and field of vision.
Only the database...
which has collected stories from millions of people
can give me an answerclosest to the truth.
Do not speak excessively.
Have you found it?
The ultimate solutionto every problem.
Stay alive.
-What did you say?-The best way to...
solve all problems is to stay alive.
At critical times, keep yourself alive first.
As long as you are still alive,
you can do the thingsyou want as you want it.
They said that a scholar dies for the sake of honor.
"A scholar dies for the sake of the honor"?
Actually, in the end,
they just did it for theirown reputations, right?
If a person is confidentthat he's useful...
and can be of help to others,
why will he choose to die?
Obviously, it's betterfor him to be alive.
It'll be better forothers and himself.
Of course, this is justmy humble opinion.
You'll have to makethe choice yourself.
Are you satisfied?
The Right Cavalries will go with you.
Go and return swiftly.
As for your female servant,
she can rest here for the meanwhile.
You are going to do an important task.
It's improper to bring alonga female slave.
You are the pillar of the country.
You shouldn't be so narrow-minded.
Are you alright, Young Master?
You are going to work forthe Right Counsellor.
Young Master.
Are you set on finding the real culprit?
Talk to me some more.
You can tell me anything.
The great bird of Peng has a wingspan of nine thousand li [2796 miles].
Right Counsellor, this is a trick!
Come in.
Right Counsellor. Li Bi must beplaying a trick with you.
If he escapes without care for that slave's life,
all of your hard workwill be in vain today.
If you let him leave,
I request that General Gan Shou Cheng personally lead troops to supervise him.
You are a very cautious man,Appraiser Yuan.
You are right to remind me of that.
I never thought that you'llremember my name and post.
I'm extremely flattered.
General Gan has anotherimportant task to attend to.
So, I'll have to...
trouble you this time, Appraiser Yuan.
Please go along with Li Bi.
Make sure that he doesn't run away.
Urge him to bring back theevidence as soon as possible.
Are you willing to do that?
If Li Bi really has the intention to run away,
kill him on the spot.
As for the crime to charge him with, you will determine it.
You have the courageto do that, right?
Of course.
I'll do as you say.
Right Counsellor,I don't think it's wise to do that.
After all, Li Bi'sfather and brother...
It's just a nominal post.It's just for show.
It's not worth worrying about.
Are you reluctant to let Li Bi die?
I've been with him for more than 10 years after all.
I do still have this small bit of friendship with him.
But if you've already made your mind,
I won't comment about it anymore.
I'll leave that female servant to you.
When she's no longer of use to us,
you can get rid of her.
Where is Xu Bin?
Dead or alive?
Mister.
You came here before?Why do you look so familiar?
It's so late already.Why are you here?
Xu Bin asked me to come here.
Xu Bin!
Are you dead or alive?
Come out and meet me!
Zhang Xiao Jing.
You came pretty quickly.
You are quite something.
Little Li Bi thought you burned to death.
Even your mustache isn't singed.
Little Li Bi can rest assured now.
-I'll go and do my work then.-Wait.
Here. Continue with your work. Go now.
-Father.-It's fine. Continue with your work.
You are not worried about me?
I just need to know thatyou are alive.
Live your life well.
I have news about the real culprit.Follow me.
Bingliu Warehouse,the manor in Xiuzheng Street...
where the Wolven Squad hid...
and the old pit in Changming Street...
are all registered under Lin Jiu Lang's name.
Lin Jiu Lang?
Are you saying that...
Lin Jiu Lang hired someone to assassinate himself?
I didn't say that.
It's recorded in black in white.
He faked his own assassination...
to use that chance toframe his political enemy.
Looks like he's killing himself, buthe's actually killing off his enemy.
This is an old trick in the court.
Lin Jiu Lang is the initiator of all this chaos.
He's going to take overthe government soon.
So, his biggest enemyis the crown prince.
If he can create an assassination today
that involves him and framethe crown prince for it,
the Great Tang of tomorrow
will belong to him fully.
How can we prove thatwith just this as evidence?
Did Long Bo succeedin assassinating him?
Did he succeed with it?
I saw Li Bi one hour ago.
He said that...
the assassin...
is He Jian's dumb son.
He didn't succeed with it...
and was brought intoRight Counsellor's manor.
This incident has caused much trouble.
Now, everybody inChang'an knows about it.
Looks like...
he's going to ruin both the Crown Prince and He Jian.
Even if He Jian...
contacts all the pillars of Great Tang to defend the Crown Prince,
it is impossible now.
You are our only chance...
to turn this around.
You have to investigate on that Lin.You can't let him get away with it.
I won't be able...
-to help with it.-Zhang Xiao Jing! Commander Zhang!
Officials fighting for power!What has it got to do with me?
Are you going to let those whosacrificed for you to die in vain?
Long Bo has disappeared with the Crouching Fire!
Can we make him stopusing these useless papers?
Long Bo is still challenging us.
I don't know what this is.How are you going to investigate it?
Little Li Bi has set up a good rule.
All evidence will be sent to the Peacekeeper Corps.
This must be a connector froma big machine of some sort.
I think I can find the answerin Peacekeeper Corps.
What has this got to do withthe Jahannum-dhool case?
It has the smell of grease on it.
It might be a part ofthe Jahannum-dhool.
If we know what the big machine is,
we might be able to pinpointLong Bo's real target.
But the Peacekeeper Corps is taken overby others now. You can't get in.
-I have to try. We are out of time!-Wait!
In order to locate Long Bo, Li Bi hasgone into Right Counsellor's manor...
to get close to He Fu! No news of himand I don't know if he's still alive!
-You care about him?-Don't you?
I do!
After He Fu's failed assassination,
I already sent someone to gatherinfo from Right Counsellor's manor!
They'll report back to me soon!
Wait for a while.
When Li Bi brings back the evidence,
everything will be perfectly fine.
Everything will be perfectly fine.
This is already more than enough.
Why did you...
release Li Bi from your manor then?
This man...
will achieve great successin the future.
I want to use him.
It's best if I can subdue him today.
If I can't,
I certainly won't leave him for others.
At the same time, I can use this chance to see
if that Yuan Zai is useful to me or not.
You danced quite wellon the hot plate.
Tell me.
How much money can I buy you for?
Come here and I'll tell you about it.
If you look at me again,I'll dig out your eyes.
-Damned slave.-General Gan.
Commandant Yao?
You still haven't searchedher body yet, right?
-Let me do it.-What is it?
You want to release her?
I wouldn't dare.
What kind of a place this is?
Right Counsellor asked meto come and guard her.
Right Counsellor told me thatas long as Li Bi comes back,
we'll have to give him back his servant.
Keep a close eye on her.
If Li Bi doesn't come back,
-kill her off.-Yes, General.
Do you hope that Li Bicomes back or not?
Li Bi is not that different from me.
He knows how to be realistic.
He will come back.
-Don't worry.-My master is different from you.
He's trying to free himself...
so that he can continueto investigate on Long Bo.
In the face of an important matter,
my life is nothing.
The thinking of a slave.
In the end, I'm still just a slave to all of you?
Do you think that by helping Li Biwith some major tasks,
he'll forget about your identity?
Though he treated you kindly all this while,
it's because of his own noble character.
A slave... will always be a slave.
As soon as you fall into slavery, your future generations will be slaves as well.
You won't be able to escape it... until the end of the day.
You are a person whodoesn't even have a surname.
Yet you speak of sacrificing yourself for the country.
Others will merely think that a slave was killed for her wrongdoings.
You put too much value on yourself.
No.
I know clearly who I am.
I'm useful and that's enough.
You are nothing without Li Bi.
How are you useful?
You are belittling mebecause you scared that you'll feel guilty...
when you have to kill me later, right?
No.
If you were purely a vile and moralless person,
you might live a little bit happier.
Too bad.
You still have akind heart within you.
You are the one who spreadthe 'never retreat' message from the Grand Watchtower, right?
I did it in the spur of the moment.
Your 'never retreat'...has helped a lot of people.
When you kill me off later, please give me a swift ending.
I still haven't thanked you for putting me into prison for half a day.
You are welcome.Just treat it as a gift.
We don't have much time. The evidenceis not too far from us, right?
It's just in front of us.
Li Bi is willing to work forRight Counsellor and is getting us...
the evidence about the Crown Prince's traitorous act. This is getting difficult.
How could he betray the crown prince so easily? He surely wants to escape.
If he runs away and ruins Right Counsellor's plan,
how am I going to protect youin the future?
Don't worry. He won'tget away with me here.
I am quite capable of leadingthese soldiers of Chang'an.
If he's trying to escape, kill him.
My father admires Li Bi a lot. He saidthat he will be a minister one day...
and bring fortune to thepeople of Great Tang.
If I kill him, my father will skin me.
I can't do that.
I won't force you if you are not willing to do so.
I have confidence that I canlead these soldiers as well.
I've already decided to be with you for the rest of my life.
What about you?
Can't we just arrest him and letthe Right Counsellor deal with him?
Do I really have to kill him?
I'm really worried aboutyou and your father.
Your father is crown prince's brotherand he holds great military power.
The crown prince's factionwill be cleared out after today.
Your father will be the firstto be dragged down with it.
If you kill Li Bi, you'll represent your family...
to draw a clean line withcrown prince, understand?
I am trying my best to help you.
The evidence of crown prince'straitorous act is in this book store.
This is the secret trading placeof the privates.
If you ask them,
you will know who's the one thathired the Wolven Squad to come in...
and get the written evidenceof that trading.
But the privates won't disclosetheir clients' information to others.
I need to go in and interrogate them.
If I can't get an answer out of them,
you can send in your troops then.
If I let you go in alone and something bad happens,
I won't be able to justify myself.
Don't worry, I won't escape.
Of course.
Your beautiful servant is still in the Counsellor's manor.
You have always been benevolent.
No matter how serious it is, you won't run away to save yourself...
and sacrifice thatslave's life for nothing.
The blaze of the Fire Master will overpower the divine flame.
We seize the God of Fire and serve Guan Yu instead.
You speak our secret language.
Are you here for business?
Yes.
Did Zhang Xiao Jingcome here before this?
Yes.
Is he here to ask the instigator ofthe assassination in the church?
Yes.
Who is the culprit? Is he working for the government?
I don't know.
Did you answer Zhang Xiao Jing?
You ask too many questions. I forgot about it.
You have to tell me the truth today!
I'm here to tell you that the government has found outabout your activities.
The Right Cavalries is just outside.
They are going to arrest youfor interrogation...
and search this placefrom the inside out.
-You brought them here.-I'm here to notify you about it.
Zhang Xiao Jing has betrayed you.
Or else, why would I come hereto get myself killed?
Besides them, how many people do you have?
You are a spy.
There are 11 soldiers outside.
Either you destroy them or you kill yourselves out of loyalty.
If the government manages to capture either one of you,
all of your branches in Tang...
including your families in MercenaryGarrison of the Western Region will be annihilated.
All the privates in Great Tangwill turn to dust and will be forever gone.
Listen to me, we don't move unless they do so.
Are we going to act?
The criminal, Li Bi, tried to escapebecause the fear of being punished.
Whoever kills him on the spot will be rewarded handsomely.
Attack.
Arrest Li Bi first! Li Bi!
Such a fast arrow.
Kill them all!
Where is Li Bi?
Search the place!
What are you looking at?
I'll still be like this after we are married.
What do you think?
Report.
He ran away, Li Bi has escaped.
Go after him!
How dare he use the privates against us.
If we can't find him...
If we fail this task,
I'm afraid that the Right Counsellorwill punish you for it.
Let me think. Let me think.
Move aside.
The Right Cavalries accused the Dragon Army of not doing their job.
Who are you?
Li Bi, chief of Peacekeeper Corps.
General of Dragon Army,Chen Xuan Li, is my father's friend.
The Right Counsellor blamedthe Dragon Army for his assassination.
He's going to report it to His Majesty
and replace the Dragon Army with the Right Cavalries.
They are chasing after me now.
Please send me to General Guo Li Shi's manor to try to turn the tide.
-Move aside!-Move aside!
Chamberlain Xu.
How is it?
Your men are quite loyal.
Is Li Bi still alive?
He escaped.
But Tan Qi is locked up in theRight Counsellor's manor.
I think she won't be ableto get out alive.
Counsellor.
I, Appraiser of the Ministry of Jurisdiction, I'm here to congratulate you.
What to congratulate about?
Li Bi colluded with the privates to attack the Right Cavalries.
Peacekeeper Corps under crownprince has committed another crime.
I already ordered the people in myministry to write a report on it.
Where is the evidence he wants to get?
Li Bi is lying. There is no evidence.
Where is Li Bi?
The privates fought in the Western Region war, making them formidable opponents for the Right Cavalries.
Where is Li Bi?
We should have brought him downat all cost.
But we were stopped by subordinatesof General Chen from Dragon Army.
Right Counsellor, I have the capabilities to do great things.
Leave.
Yes, Counsellor.
Present the testaments of He Fu and Li Bi to His Majesty now.
Hurry with it. Hurry!
- Delay creates trouble. - Yes, Counsellor.
You are being too risky.
Luckily, I met the Dragon Army
and was brought here to meet you, Uncle Guo.
Luckily, you are able to stay alive with your wit.
Or else, how am I going to explain it to your father?
I'll leave it to you then.
I already recorded what you said.
Right Counsellor alone holdsthe seals of three ministries.
His crave for poweris too terrorising.
I'll supervise the report that will besent to His Majesty at once.
Don't worry.
Whenever Wang Sun send in a report,
His Majesty will ask about it.
Ask Gao Quan to go togetherwith Ning Wang Sun.
We have to make sure that ourreport won't be sent there late.
We have to send it to His Majestyas fast as possible.
Chang Yuan, your slave is a smart woman.She's very rare.
Are you really going to leave herto fend for herself?
