Stop!
Arrest him!
Move aside!
I am under order to arrest the suspect for the assassination of His Majesty.
The person inside, come out!
If you do this, the Right Counsellor will make you take the blame for it.
No matter who's the future emperor,
those who murder a royalty...
will forever be an outcast!
-Arrest him. -Roger that.
Who is it?
Thank you for willing to take the risk, Ning Wang Sun.
I didn't do it for the crown prince.
I don't care if he's innocent or not.
I just trust you, my teacher.
I'm just following orders.
Are you under order to arrest him...
or to hurt him?
Me, Ning Wang Sun and the other officials have seen you,
General Gan of Right Cavalries, trying to hurt the crown prince.
Is that part of the order as well?
If you are interrogate in the future, do you dare speak...
the name of the one who gave you the order?
I am a soldier.
I'm just someone's pawn.
Now, do you think that you are a pawn...
or a reject?
If you don't come here today,
nobody will know about it.
Leave now.
We'll forget that we've ever seen you here today.
Get lost!
What about you, crown prince?
Retreat now, General Gan.
I already forgot about...
what had happened just now.
From now on, I will serve you with all loyalty.
Retreat.
Thank you, teacher.
With His Majesty gone,
there will be many more...
who want to hurt you.
In order to prevent further attack,
we need to send the crown prince to a safe place at once.
We'll wait until daybreak.
" The Longest Day in Chang'an "
Episode 45
You've resisted just now, right?
Take him out and kill him.
It'll save us some troubles.
Fool.
If I was as smart as you,
I wouldn't have the luck to enjoy living.
You want to compete for the credits with Right Counsellor?
When you caught an accomplice of the crown prince,
you should send him to Right Counsellor for interrogation...
if you want to help him convince the people.
Lock him up first.
How many Royal Escort and Right Cavalries are here now?
Eight groups of 24 Royal Escort and one group of 50 Right Cavalries.
All of them are led by Advisor Zhao from Right Cavalries.
You came.
The feng shui in this place is real good.
It wouldn't be strange even if His Majesty...
comes here today.
Are you trying to solve the case?
Solving a case?
I'm just bored.
I'm just writing them out for fun.
Zhang Xiao Jing said that...
you are the one who translated...
the meaning of Jahannum-dhool.
I have quite a little bit of talent since young.
And I know a lot of things.
So,
everybody addresses me as the genius.
Words mean nothing. You have to show your worth.
You want me to...
find out the real culprit...
so that I can clear the crown prince's name?
I'm not interested with it.
Help me locate His Majesty.
What if His Majesty is unable to come back?
Don't you want to...
support the crown prince so that he can ascend to the throne?
We still don't have any proof to show the crown's prince innocence.
But no matter whom the culprit is,
I will get to the bottom of it and announce it to the world.
If the crown prince is really behind it,
you will be dragged down with him for sure.
And in this lifetime,
you'll have no chance to spread your wings and serve the people anymore.
You can't even hold your head high.
Those are not important.
My duty as the chief of Peacekeeper Corps...
is to solve this case.
Only by finding the real culprit can I be loyal to my duty.
And only then can I protect Chang'an.
The way you speak...
is exactly like Zhang Xiao Jing.
Advisor Zhao, you are still up?
We've caught Li Bi.
After Chief Ji send the message to Right Counsellor,
he has gone back to sleep.
Even if we get no merits from it, we have to help others guard theirs.
We can't let the prey that falls into their lap...
escape from their grasps.
Kang Shen Si, what are you doing?
-Are you going to the gold hill? -Advisor.
How big that gold hill is until you dare leave your post?
-Advisor. -I don't care how many manors...
your father bought for you by loaning money to others.
If you join the Right Cavalries, you are the guard of the royal city.
How can you slack off like that?
The Royal Guards will be laughing at us.
Tell me, where are you going?
Cheng Shen has asked me to send a message to Chief Ji.
Am I allowing you to leave?
Go back to your post.
He told me that...
I can't tell it to others.
Chief Ji is sleeping so soundly.
You can go and disturb him after I go in...
and listen to what Cheng Shen has to say.
-Understand? -Yes.
Sir Cheng.
We are no strangers.
Why did you keep something good from me?
After the Lantern Festival,
when the government rewards me for my contributions,
no matter how much I get,
I'll give you 30%.
What is it?
What do you know until you need to inform Chief Ji in private?
How about you tell me about it?
I'll inform it to him.
If...
I want you to sacrifice for Great Tang,
will you be willing to do it?
Great Tang?
Do you mean...
His Majesty, the crown prince...
or the Right Counsellor?
Actually, I'm quite troubled by it too.
If I chose the wrong side,
the more effort I put in, the faster I'm going to end.
Then let me tell you a solution that can never go wrong.
What ingenious solution that you have?
Come. Give me your ear.
You are really a smart guy.
If you are not greedy,
it'll never go wrong for you.
He was rescued?
Yes.
If that's the case,
it'll be even harder...
for crown prince to defend himself.
Seal off all of our city gates.
Increase the number of guards...
to check the people that pass through the gate carefully.
We have to...
rescue His Majesty and get him back to the palace as soon as possible.
Yes, Counsellor.
When His Majesty comes back,
he won't be able to forgive crown prince's sin.
And he'll make things easy for you.
Have you seen this man before?
The gate to Huaiyuan Street is right ahead.
They have set up a barricade.
There are around 12 Right Cavalries.
They might check the carriage.
If they check the carriage, it'll be your death anniversary today.
Release me.
I'll let you live.
I'll confer you the title general.
And you'll be able to protect Tang and it's people forever.
How about that?
You'll have to see if we are willing to accept it or not.
Stop the carriage!
Anybody in the carriage?
Yes.
-You want to be an official? -Move aside.
No use to let him die just like that.
You want to get him out from Chang'an, right?
What are you doing here?
Soldiers from Longyou. We are back to celebrate new year.
What about him?
My brother.
You are both soldiers?
What's so strange about it?
You can earn so well in Fanzhen. Who doesn't want to go?
We are both leaders, but the wage is way different.
Is the pay better than Chang'an?
It's three times higher.
How much? Three times the pay here?
Your job is way better than ours.
You have holiday break during this festival.
Unlike us. We don't know what happened,
but suddenly, the Right Counsellor ordered us to guard the city gate.
We were pulled out from our warm beds.
-Who is this old man? -He's out father.
Did you mug your own father?
This is so embarrassing.
My father is ill-tempered.
We were having dinner, but we fought over some family matters.
Shut up.
Old man, who are they?
What do you think?
In my opinion,
I can't be sure. You look like...
someone who has been mugged.
Good judgement.
Guards!
I'm still alive! And they have already divided the family property!
Isn't this considered as being mugged?
Arrest them! Arrest both of them!
Don't just stand there!
I don't care if it's a festival today!
Arrest all of them!
What's the use of having sons?
They never thought about what the old man wants.
They just know how to take!
And they complain that you are old,
saying new is better than old.
Dividing the family property?
What family property?
Do you know how I worked for our family property?
Will you be able to guard it if I give it to you?
This family property...
should be given to the world.
I should share it with the world!
-Share it with the world! -Enough.
Quickly get your father some warm water, sober him up...
and get him home to sleep!
I've checked the carriage! Let them through!
Is it true?
Are you going to share it with the people...
or did you just say it...
to make us happy?
The sooner you send me back,
the better it is for...
the people of Chang'an.
Let's walk. It's safer to walk.
When Right Cavalries realises the truth,
they will check this carriage.
Me and my master have memorised the map of Chang'an.
I know the road. I'll take you through the shortcuts.
Sorry for bringing you into this mess that will get you killed.
For me, everything that you want to do must be right.
Go.
Climb up.
You like to be slave so much?
Guards!
Where are you?
Advisor Zhao.
I found the real culprit.
He's in this Peacekeeper Corps.
It's Ji Wen.
Impossible!
Do as I say.
And I promise that the merits will be yours.
If...
anything untoward happens in the future,
you can blame me on it.
Just say that it's my order.
I'll make sure that you are alright.
Yes, Advisor.
Today,
follow the order of this command token.
This command token will represent the general.
Go.
Yes, Advisor.
We are just following orders. Let's do it now.
Who is the one that revolted?
6 o'clock!
Sunrise!
Get up, my fellow officials. Chief Li is back.
Tying Ji Wen up is just a temporary solution.
If Right Counsellor didn't get any news from Peacekeeper Corps,
he will be suspicious.
We have only 20 to 30 soldiers.
We won't be able to hold them off.
Then we need to speed up with our investigation.
We have to find His Majesty...
and clear the crown prince's name.
-Messenger. -Yes, Chief Li.
-Seal off the front door. -Yes, Chief Li.
We are not far from Daji Tavern.
Turn right in the front. We can reach there faster if we use the shortcut.
Peacekeeper Corps Command Token is here.
Get me Ji Wen.
He Jian. Chief Li is back.
He's the one leading Peacekeeper Corps now.
What do you want to say?
Please take a rest in the secret room of Jinglong Temple.
The Royal Escort from Peacekeeper Corps will protect you.
And please don't...
be in contact with any of the officials for the moment...
to prevent any turmoil of war.
Are you afraid that I'll gang up with other officials to take the throne?
Please give me some time.
Please wait for the return of His Majesty...
while I look for the real culprit.
Chang Yuan.
Here.
You've worked very hard today.
Zhang Xiao Jing is a death row convict.
But he is so persistent to reveal the truth.
I can't lose to him.
As the role models for the people,
you have to be...
true to your words.
Chang Yuan.
Chang Yuan!
Chang...
Teacher.
He is a very loyal and honest man.
He will be useful to you in the future.
And he'll be of use to Chang'an.
We can't involve him in this case any further.
In order to protect him, I have no choice...
but to use such underhanded trick.
Please forgive me, crown prince.
Chang Yuan is right just now.
In order to prevent turmoil of war in Chang'an, please stay...
in the secret room of Jinglong Temple and lie low for the moment.
Please wait until His Majesty comes back.
I see nothing, I know nothing and I won't say anything.
I don't even know who you are.
You can leave now.
Wait! My mother said that according to the fortune teller,
it's up to her son to make her rich! She's still not rich now!
Let me stay! I'll become the watchdog for whoever that wins.
I am...
Bring along all the Right Cavalries in this place...
to go and meet Right Counsellor.
Tell him that...
I will stay in Peacekeeper Corps...
until...
His Majesty is back.
If he dares stop me from doing so,
Generations after generations of literati in the future...
will curse him with their writings.
And he will go down in history as a byword for infamy.
Yes, He Jian.
Old Man He. You've been taking that medicine often tonight. What is it?
If it's to replenish your energy, I want to bring some for my mother too.
It's a medicine to cure insanity.
Aren't you going to bring some for your mother?
We'll reach home soon.
Please go to other place.
Every street is guarded with soldiers who are checking around.
It'll take time for us to go home.
My child can't stay the cold. Please let us stay until morning.
How can you be so unhelpful?
Happy Lantern Festival.
" Owner of the tavern: Wan Da Ji "
Let us go.
If you are worried, you can just let my daughter go.
She is just a child.
She won't say anything.
Just now, you said that...
all the gates along the way here...
are filled with soldiers that are checking around?
There are a lot of soldiers. They said that...
they are looking for an old man wearing white.
They won't stop until they find him.
Let my daughter go.
Here, child.
Don't be afraid.
Let me dance for you.
I promise that you will like it.
Do you know how to clap?
Formation dance.
It's almost daybreak.
It's the darkest before dawn.
Criminals love this period of a day the most.
Many of our brothers...
have died at this period of the day.
This is for the brothers of The Eight Squad.
These passports...
are used by the owner to transport wines.
They are all under his workers' names.
Choose one to be used as your passport.
And let these commoners go.
They are frightened. They won't say anything.
Are we still going to leave the city?
What do you want to do?
When the day breaks,
I'll find...
a busy street...
and slaughter him there.
You can't do it in Chang'an.
Why?
Chang'an is my home.
-Has Chang'an cared about you? -I care about it?
Tell me, leader.
Who should be held responsible for Old Man Wen's death?
-Where were you when he died? -The state of Yan.
When did you come to Chang'an?
September, last year.
You came to Chang'an after just a month of his death.
Who sent you the message?
I've looked for you for many years.
I did everything I can to look for you to no avail. Who is it?
Who is the one that managed to send you a message so quickly?
Is it important?
I am already here, right?
I need a name.
What is happening here?
You've been going at it for one whole night. You are still not done?
Father! Go away!
Go. Make a report.
Jahannum-dhool.
What do you mean?
Fortune is upon us.
Be a good girl and stay at home today with your father.
Don't go anywhere, alright?
Is something going to happen?
Fortune is upon us.
