Xu He Zi!
-Quick, Xu He Zi is here already. -Come on, be quick!
Move aside!
Move aside! Move aside now!
Xu He Zi!
-Move aside now! -Xu He Zi!
-Who are you? -How dare you disturb Xu He Zi here.
-You want to die? -Will we allow him to do that?
No!
Come down!
-Come down! -You want to kill people?
-Come down! -Move aside!
-We won't allow you to pass! -Come down!
Why do you draw your sword? You want to kill us?
" The Longest Day in Chang'an "
Episode 16
Report!
The Wolven Squad has reached the intersection of Yanfu and Huaizhen.
They slaughtered the people there and it has erupted into a chaos.
Still no traces of Commander Zhang.
The Royal Escort led by Captain Cui has only about 20 people left.
They are rushing to the spot from Changming Street. But,
I'm afraid that they won't make it on time.
Send out the Royal Escort that is guarding the Peacekeeper Corps.
I'll repeat it again.
Follow Commander Zhang's instruction there.
Yes, Chief Li.
Murder!
The guy from Tang is here. He's a fierce fighter.
Stay or leave? I'll follow whatever decisions both of you make.
-Rui Ge, are you afraid of death? -I'll do as you say.
Then, let's return what we have learnt in Chang'an to them.
I'm going to burn you to death!
Go now!
Sister, go down now.
Come here! It's too dangerous!
Xu Ge!
-Sister! -Officer!
Officer, I beg you! Please save my brother!
If any of the Tang soldiers pursue us, get ready to receive a corpse!
Report it to Peacekeeper Corps! Quick!
Report!
Wolven Squad has splashed the street with stone grease,
causing the intersection of Yongan and Xuanyi to blaze with fire.
The officers on the street can't put it out...
and it has disturbed the Ministry of Capital.
-We can do nothing about it today. -Chief Li!
Please think about our families and lives.
What do you want?
I just hope that...
you can stop trusting that death row convict, Zhang Xiao Jing.
He is acting very strange.
And his intention is unclear.
You dare trust him.
But we don't dare to risk our families and lives...
on a person like him.
Please stop trusting the death row convict, Zhang Xiao Jing!
Chief Li.
Evening!
End of the day!
Move aside!
Listen! No arrows are allowed...
to prevent the carriages from toppling over...
and igniting the Crouching Fire!
If you accidentally got the stone grease on you,
stay away from fire source!
-Yes, Captain! -Go after them!
Let me go! We have nothing against each other.
From now on, we have!
Report!
Huaizhen and Chongde intersection.
Are they going east to get to Zhuque Main Street?
Chief Li!
Commander Zhang's position.
Too many people trampling around. We lost sight of him.
He has already run away, Chief Li!
Do you know why I like Han Fei?
Han Fei said that humans are evil by nature.
No matter whom it is,
you can't trust him completely.
You risk your future by trusting a death row convict with vital task.
You are too naive.
Your name will not be on the list of prime ministers...
of Great Tang in the future for sure.
Please think about our families and lives!
Chief Li. If Zhang Xiao Jing wanted to run,
he wouldn't get into that death cell from the start.
Captain Cui is idling at the same spot, waiting for new orders.
Majority of Royal Escort is waiting for orders in Guangde and Yanshou.
Without guidance, they don't know how to stop the carriages.
Chief Li! The people have lives!
His Majesty and the crown prince have lives!
And we have our lives too!
Please think carefully, Chief Li!
Please think carefully, Chief Li.
Order the watchtower along the street not to shoot the Wolven Squad...
to prevent carriages from going out of hand and igniting Crouching Fire.
Mark the position of Wolven Squad with smoke to guide Commander Zhang.
Isn't that Xu He Zi?
Xu He Zi!
Go!
Go and meet Jahannum-dhool together with us.
Rui Ge!
Beta, he has awaken the Jahannum-dhool!
Let's leave this place at once!
Report! Commander Zhang has taken down a carriage.
I am foolish and stubborn.
If I trust a person,
I'll trust him until the end.
And I trust Commander Zhang.
Just like how I trust all of you.
If it wasn't because of Commander Zhang today,
we would have been blame for dereliction of duty.
And many people's lives in Chang'an will be taken by the Wolven Squad.
My fellow officers.
Please continue to check the amount of stone grease that came into the city.
Yes, Chief Li!
Get out of the away!
Father!
Get out of the away!
Help!
Are you hurt?
May I ask what's your name?
I want to spread your heroic action today across Chang'an.
Is your child alright?
-He's fine. -Go home now, the sooner the better!
Do you need help from us, hero? Just order away.
Go towards the city in the south! It's safe there!
-Come, let's go. -Xu Ge.
-Listen to me, the people of Chang'an! -Is it painful?
Some criminals has caused disturbances in Chang'an!
Please get out from this street immediately in good order!
Tell your families and friends not to get into this street for the moment!
Let's go home.
Excuse me, may I know the name of the man...
who had saved everyone just now?
Xu He Zi.
What is his name?
Why do you want to ask about him?
I'm in debt with him.
From now on, I should pray for him every day...
for his good fortune and bless him with long life.
His name is Zhang Xiao Jing.
Sir.
Speak.
Peacekeeper Corps has lost control on that death row convict.
If he hurts nothing but one life,
Peacekeeper Corps will not get out from...
the dereliction of duty offence today.
Ask the Right Cavalries to hold the defence line of the royal city.
Nothing else matters.
Let's see what is he going to do.
I understand. We just need to sit back and watch.
Li Bi is too young.
Young people always thought that...
the old rules are too doltish.
They always wanted to...
do things according to their own ways.
But they don't actually understand that...
old rules...
are rules that can hardly go wrong.
Report!
Two Wolven Squad's carriages have turned into Chongde and Anye Street.
They are going north towards Xinghua and Fengle Street.
They are just two streets away from the royal city's Hanguang Gate.
-Point the way with smoke signal. -Yes!
Move aside! Get ready, archers!
Mr. Advisor.
There are still people on the street. Too many of them.
We won't be able to evacuate them on time.
If you can't, then don't do it. If you have to barricade the road, do it.
Right Cavalries' task is to hold the line in Taiping Street...
so that the Wolven Squad won't be a threat to the royal city.
From now on, nobody shall pass.
Yes, sir.
Beta!
There's a split in front! I'll continue to the right...
-and complete You Cha's mission! -Alright!
Go now!
Report! Commander Zhang has taken down another carriage.
What's Crouching Fire's weakness?
As long as the barrel has a slight opening,
it won't explode even if it's ignited.
It'll just burn.
-Messenger. -Yes, Chief Li.
Has Cui Qi reached the place? Is Commander Zhang alright?
Is there any other Crouching Fire?
Where is the last carriage going?
-Find them out for me at once. -Slow down, Chief Li.
I'll convey the messages to the watchtower one by one.
Slow.
This is too slow.
Order the watchtower...
to ask all of the Royal Escort to meet me at Tongyi and Zhiye intersection.
Yes, Chief Li.
Messer sword.
Clear the street of Peacekeeper Corps. If I see a citizen there,
-kill yourself to atone for it. -Yes, Chief Li!
-Get all the people off the street. -Go home now.
Get a team to set up the anti-cavalry obstacles to slow down the carriage...
so that it won't topple over and hurt the people.
Yes!
Brother Ma, do you want to be the best horse...
and charge forward together with me? They won't be able to stop me.
Let me through.
Quiet.
Let me through.
Sir.
The Peacekeeper Corps' anti-cavalry obstacle...
is unable to stop the Wolven Squad.
The carriage is coming towards here.
Sir.
A life is a life.
The task I received is to...
hold the defence line of the royal city...
so that no Wolven Squad can get into it.
If you dare to open this barricade,
go ahead.
I don't dare to do it anyway.
We can't let him break the defence line of Right Cavalries!
More people will get hurt for sure!
I'll lure him to an empty place!
You want to kill yourself?
I am Chief of Peacekeeper Corps, Li Bi.
Today, all members of Wolven Squad have died in my hands.
Seek revenge from me if you dare.
The Wolven Squad in Bingliu Inn has died in my hands.
I will cut off top part of their hair...
and hang it in Chang'an...
so that they will become the joke of the world.
Get back!
Come with me! I'll give you my life!
I'm going to kill you now!
Li Bi, get away from here!
If you hurt nothing but one man, you'll fail your task.
Let me through!
Sir, good news.
A man from Peacekeeper Corps has lured the Wolven Squad away.
-Where? -Guangde Street.
The street in front of Peacekeeper Corps.
What is he thinking?
-About the people... -Do I need you to teach me?
I don't care about the people's lives.
Let them through!
There are really people who will risk their lives for others.
Help!
In order to prevent Crouching Fire from hurting the people, Chief Li...
has become the bait to lure the Wolven Squad away!
What measure should we take?
I can send out the message!
What measure should we take?
I can send out the message!
Lu San!
What do you think?
Are you afraid that you'll say something wrong...
and be castigated by the people in the future?
Kindness for kindness, debt for debt.
Li Bi has always treated all of you with kindness.
Although he's very strict today,
he's just asking you to do your best in your job.
You are paid by the people. But you run away from issues when it matters.
How disheartened the people will be.
Don't you feel guilty?
Let's meet Jahannum-dhool together!
The God of War is already in Chang'an!
Master!
Do you know where he's going?
Gather up!
The Crouching Fire is already ignited!
Commander Zhang is riding it towards Guangde Street!
He is very close to Peacekeeper Corps now!
Stop your work! Run for your lives!
Don't move! Stop!
Don't run! Listen to me!
Commander Zhang will not come to Peacekeeper Corps for sure!
How can you guarantee that?
The Dragon Threshold.
Yes, the Dragon Threshold.
The Dragon Threshold of Guangde Street...
is just four feet and eight inches wide.
But according to the remnants of the carriage...
taken back by Royal Escort,
the carriage is five feet and three inches wide.
Think about it.
Even if Zhang Xiao Jing wants to come here,
can he do that? Can he come in? How could you say that?
The watchtower said that...
Commander Zhang is riding straight to the north.
If he isn't coming to Guangde Street,
tell me, where can he take the Crouching Fire to?
To the Western District. Big carriages can pass through there.
Quick! Take away the Dragon Threshold!
Let Commander Zhang pass.
Chamberlain Xu has been lying all day today.
He just wants to protect his best friend.
He doesn't care for our lives.
I wonder what his intention is.
I'm not lying!
Commander Zhang is a good man.
You can suspect me.
But you have to trust Commander Zhang.
Zhang Xiao Jing has worked for Peacekeeper Corps so loyally...
as he works for the people of Great Tang.
You have to trust him. You can't suspect him.
If you suspect him,
it means that you suspect Peacekeeper Corps and crown prince, understand?
-His database is fake! -Fake?
It's just a tool for fraud!
My database is true!
-Stop it! Guards, keep them apart! -Is this for real?
Separate them!
Fifteen minutes to seven!
Sunset!
Chang'an is going to be lit up soon.
What is that sound?
What is it?
It's from the Western District. Messenger!
-Messenger! -Yes!
Go and check the number of casualties right now!
-Quick! -Wait!
Find out about Zhang Xiao Jing's conditions! Go now!
Is this your storeroom?
This is a house.
There's a toilet outside. Appraiser Yuan built it himself.
Aren't you afraid that it'll be dangerous to bring me to your home?
Wolven Squad has caused troubles on Huaiyuan Street this afternoon.
There's no reason for them to come back again.
Although it's simple and unadorned here,
it's the most suitable safe house for you, Miss Wang.
Not a bad incense.
It smells nice.
It's Green Scent Incense from an old and famous shop in Eastern District.
One liang of it costs 100 qian.
How can an eighth-rank salary afford it?
I only like the best in of everything.
If I can't have it, then I rather don't want it.
But not replacing quality things with lower-quality ones,
I can force myself to strive for the better.
Are you a very driven person?
Do you know music?
Appraiser Yuan, the things are here.
Let's not talk about me anymore. You must be exhausted today.
I had simply prepared some dresses and headdress for you.
Simply prepared for it? You even sold your family zither...
in exchange for these. How is it considered as simple?
I had hastily prepared some dresses and headdress for you.
If you like it, please use it as you wish.
Please feel at ease, Miss Wang.
Did you find him?
Based on the position of fallen things,
it's very difficult to search for a man.
Continue the search.
Quick!
Chief Li, after the initial assessment,
there's a huge crack in the ditch here because of the explosion.
The Watergate is slanted and half of Town God Temple has been blasted off.
Have you found Zhang Xiao Jing?
I've sent the marines to search for him for quite a while.
I almost thought that the scoundrel will take revenge on us.
I really want to apologise to him face-to-face.
Guangdong Ditch in Western District has six rowboats.
Get them here and send all marines in Western District...
to search for Commander Zhang in the heart of the river.
The carriage was burning so brightly just now.
I'm afraid that the person on the carriage...
Find him for me.
If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body.
Yes, sir.
The Wolven Squad is using goods carriages.
Although the carriage is badly burnt, I can see the engraving...
of the transport company very clearly.
I had made a copy.
Look at this. What does it read?
How can I read that?
Why can't you read that?
It's 'Su'.
-Su's Transport? -Yes.
Transport company from Yan. And Yan is an ink supplying state.
Su's Transport.
Check the entry records on Su's Transport today.
Yes!
I found it, it's here.
We are fine now.
Today, Su's Transport has brought in three carriages,
with five barrels of stone grease from Yan each.
It's a complete match with the three carriages of the Wolven Squad.
All 15 barrels of stone grease have been destroyed.
Chang'an is safe now.
-We can... -Wait!
We are not safe!
Something is wrong with this invoice.
-What's wrong with it? -The ink...
on this invoice is out of the place.
-The ink? -Yes.
Here, sniff it.
You can sniff it too. It has a subtle fragrance to it, right?
Here, sniff it. Am I right?
Now, sniff this.
No fragrance, right?
The guards at the city gates use low quality ink.
So, it doesn't have a fragrance.
And the ink on this invoice...
is the new Yellow-Pine Ink from Hui.
Smell it.
This ink is expensive.
The guards at the city gates won't use it.
But Peacekeeper Corps...
is using the exact ink.
-Peacekeeper Corps. -Are you saying that...
someone has forged it?
How is that possible?
The person who forged this invoice...
Bring me the original entry record now!
He is in Peacekeeper Corps!
Messenger.
What is it, Chamberlain Xu?
Where are you going?
To the toilet. You want to come along?
As the saying goes,
repay kindness with kindness and debt with debt.
But why did you say...
kindness for kindness, debt for debt?
I am tired from running around every day.
So, I become lazy.
I want to make it as short as possible.
But I remember that...
some people in the world have the habit of using that phrase.
You mean those privates?
They are retired soldiers that fight for justice.
They banded together to get rid of evil.
I'm just a low-ranking messenger. An errand boy.
Of course I respect them.
So, I might have accidentally used their idiom...
without me realising about it.
I saw some words on your paper.
The Word Order banned us from ruining paper that has words in it.
Aren't you afraid that you'll be beaten for it?
Follow me, I'll show you.
Name.
Don't be afraid, miss.
Although this is a thieves den,
I can tell that you are a victim.
It's the duty of us officials...
to protect the people of our country like you.
I won't hurt you.
May I ask...
which department are you from?
Peacekeeper Corps.
How is...
Zhang Xiao Jing?
-Your name. -Wen Ran.
What is your occupation?
I operate an incense shop.
Chang'an had an incense shop owner named...
Wen Wu Ji.
Do you know him?
He's my father.
Who had been in here?
-Wolven Squad. -Besides Wolven Squad,
who else?
Do you really know where Zhang Xiao Jing is?
I can bring you to Zhang Xiao Jing.
But,
Miss Wen Ran,
you'll have to put up with it.
Sir.
Peacekeeper Corps has found the suspected stone grease.
There's a total of three carriages and 15 barrels of it.
All of them are already destroyed.
You can be rest assured now.
Today,
the city has taken out 50 members of Wolven Squad.
Fifty people...
had planned months for it in secret.
But on the actual day,
there are only...
three carriages...
with 15 barrels of Crouching Fire?
Do you believe it?
I don't believe it.
You!
Don't shout.
Let me show you something.
You shouldn't have known about it.
But it's too bad that you seek death.
It's 300 barrels.
The city has 300 barrels of Crouching Fire.
You shouldn't have continued with the investigation.
Thank you for the shoes you gave me last year.
It's light and tough. Your wife is an excellent shoemaker.
Now, I have to tell her...
that I'm sorry.
" Manifestation of Law "
Kind person always lives long,
right?
