Right Counsellor asked us to keep him alive to mock the crown prince.
Save her.
A woman is buried alive in Lin Counsellor's manor!
Get your hands off me!
Save her!
What are you trying to say?
Help me send a message to Li BI.
Help me send a message.
Help me send a message...
to the crown prince.
Crown prince?
I would very much like to meet him too.
Don't go! You have to save her!
Save her!
A woman is buried alive in Lin Counsellor's manor!
Save her.
Go now.
Go to Right Counsellor's manor to save her now.
You can't save anyone right now.
I can save her.
I am a useful person.
I am still useful.
Come with me.
I'll bring you to a place where you can shine.
I have to save her first.
You are indeed the descendant of the sagacious minister, Yao Cong.
Who are you?
That is not important.
The important thing is, the one who sent me can help you...
bring honour to your family again.
" The Longest Day In Chang'an "
Episode 33
The crown prince has written a formal letter...
to send Li Bi here to take back his female slave.
And he has specifically asked Li Bi to report back to him. This...
He is such a bully.
Didn't you see that?
He has the Imperial Guard and Dragon Army with him.
He is telling me that...
Cheng Xuan Li and General Guo that His Majesty trusts...
are standing on his side.
This man will become...
my greatest enemy in the future.
At first, I can fault...
crown prince for He Fu's assassination on me.
But now, he holds a weakness of mine.
He has turned the table on me.
-Counsellor. -And now,
His Majesty has bestowed upon me cotton clothes.
I'm afraid that...
the great cause of taking over the country...
will forever be lost to me.
-Counsellor. -I am not a greedy person!
-Counsellor. -I just want to serve...
I just want to be the prime minister...
of Great Tang. I...
Right Counsellor!
I, appraiser of Ministry of Jurisdiction have something to report!
This is a little gift from Right Counsellor...
to help you get over the shock.
I don't take the carriage.
I ride horses.
Go. Get me a horse.
Roger that.
Thank you for saving me.
Don't blame me for leaving you here.
They know that you are important to me.
The only way for me to escape...
is by leaving you behind so that I can help the crown prince.
I understand.
As long as you and the crown prince are safe today,
I can be rest assured.
Master.
Have you seen Yao Ru Neng?
Just now, he secretly taught me the technique of holding my breath...
and tried to save me.
He's the reason I'm able to stay alive until now.
I haven't seen him.
He has betrayed the crown prince today.
It's best if we don't ever see him again.
Is the crown prince...
really clean and innocent?
Are the people of Chang'an safe now?
You just need to do as I say.
-Ask no question. -I'm still just a slave to you, right?
Li Xiang Xiang!
Let me show you something good.
You'll regret it if you don't take a look.
My fellow labourer.
Take a good look.
Are you a match for him?
You are still so stubborn.
Be careful not to be taken in.
You had a distinguished family once.
But they were already dead.
You became a slave at 10...
and had served me since you are 14.
I knew that you wanted freedom.
I can set you loose right now.
But you need to know that...
the great aspiration inside me will never be snuffed out.
If you follow me,
you can achieve great things too.
In the end, you still think that...
I can be nothing...
if I leave you, right?
You have something important to do?
Li Bi!
I have a clue.
I need to go back to Peacekeeper Corps to get an evidence.
Any idea on how can I get in?
It's not an easy feat.
We need time to get back in power over Peacekeeper Corps.
But now, the crown prince has to go into the Grand Auditorium.
His Majesty is still suspicious of the crown prince.
If we don't think of a way now,
crown prince's life will be in danger tonight.
I understand.
You'll take care of the future of Great Tang.
I'll take care of Chang'an for tonight.
Do you best.
If you still have the energy for it,
pay attention to bamboo ware.
Keep this with you. It'll be useful in the future.
Where did you get it?
I got it from Xu Bin.
Xu Bin is still alive?
Don't always treat her like a slave.
Commander Zhang has done his best to save Chang'an today.
Can you find a way...
to appeal to the court to take back the capital punishment?
He has committed one of the ten great crimes.
He can't be pardoned.
-You should have known. -But have you ever thought that...
the incident today will be spread down by the future generations.
If a person like Commander Zhang...
is still punished to death in the end,
how will the people of Tang...
serve the country wholeheartedly from now on?
There is an order of priority.
-We need to follow it. -If you are busy, I'll do it then.
You'll have to change The Tang Code.
How are you going to do that?
I would like to apologise to you.
What wrongs have you done?
By doing so, no matter what I do,
I won't drag you into it.
-What are you trying to do? -Li Bi!
You never treated me like a human.
I have followed you loyally for so many years.
I almost lost my life even.
I will serve you no longer.
From now on, I won't follow your orders anymore.
We'll part here.
Guards.
Chief Li.
Send me to the Great Auditorium.
Yes, Chief Li.
Boss,
can you leave this flag over here?
This is my shop sign. What do you want it?
I'm afraid that Commander Zhang will forget that a noodle shop was here.
Later, he can't find it when he's back.
Why are you still here?
You asked me to wait for you.
Go back.
I'll remember your church's grievance.
I will arrest Yu Chang...
to avenge the friars in your church.
After you eat, I'll go with you.
I'll follow you wherever you go.
I need to go back to Peacekeeper Corps.
It's very dangerous.
One can only achieve peace...
by taking care of others.
I finally understood...
the meaning of this phrase after I went around with you.
Let me put it into practice.
When I done,
I will engrave it on the tablet of our Catholic Church...
so that it can be passed down forever.
Don't regret it.
Double the forces of our defence,
All the officials...
have to be contained in the hall. No one can go in or out.
They can pee in the temporary toilet that is set up in the hall.
There are hundreds of Right Cavalries guarding this place.
Not even a fly can come in. You still want to double up the defence?
What is this?
Why didn't I see it just now?
Just now,
we found this bag of evidence which is yet to be registered.
We were going to present it to you...
to see how are we going to classify and store it.
What is it?
I asked the old officials in Peacekeeper Corps. They said that...
this is the evidence...
they got from the exploded storehouse in Changming Street.
I think this is an important clue.
Open it up.
Put it here.
Get someone here to guard it.
There was an attempt on Right Counsellor's life just now.
We have to be ready in case their accomplices come to cause trouble.
Roger that.
It smells like stone grease.
-Uncle Chen. -I'm on duty now. Address my title.
Yes, General Chen.
Is that the Great Holy Lantern?
Do you have the Golden Fish Pendant?
-No. -Li Jing Zhong.
Those without Golden Fish Pendant can't get into Xingqing Palace.
This is a rule set in stone.
The crown prince is making things difficult for me.
The case of Peacekeeper Corps is quite complicated today.
His Majesty will definitely ask crown prince about it...
before the start of the night feast.
Crown prince has summoned Chief Li here...
to have a discussion in his carriage parked in the square.
After they are clear about the case,
I'll send him out myself.
He won't step a foot into Xingqing Palace.
Please let him through, General Chen.
General Chen is too vigilance.
Although this lantern is tall,
it's very light.
Even if the wind brings it down,
it won't destroy anything.
Touch wood.
What is the lantern made out of?
Of course it's made out of bamboo.
Chief Li.
This way please.
Over here.
Wei Jian and City Governor, Han Chao Zong have just reached.
They are discussing the strategies on tonight's feast...
with the crown prince in his carriage.
Be patient and wait for a while.
Make sure to pass this to the crown prince.
If the Right Counsellor is choking him too tightly,
present it to His Majesty at once.
It can help the crown prince to turn the tide.
What are you going to do then?
I'll take a look around.
He is hurt! Somebody help!
Where did you find him?
I am a friar.
I picked him up from the roadside.
He was hurt while putting out the fire in Peacekeeper Corps.
He said that he saw the arsonist and is here to report on it.
Don't make a noise.
If they found out about it, you'll die.
Even if I'm the best escapee in Great Tang,
their arrows will make me into a porcupine.
Wait!
Your name.
A friar, Isse.
Prince of Persia.
Wait!
Am I asking you?
I'm asking him.
I don't know him.
I picked him up from the road.
He said that he saw the arsonist...
and is here to report about it. I...
He's not a mute then.
You want die or stay alive?
Zhang Xiao Jing.
It's me, Lao Zhao.
When you burned down the Right Cavalries' building,
you had hit me then.
Why are you here?
After the evil man burned down Peacekeeper Corps,
they don't have enough people. So, Chief Ji has transferred...
people from various departments here. I'm here...
to fill in the blanks.
After you escaped from the Right Cavalries,
General Gan is sick with my face.
I rather come here to help and stay away from troubles.
I never thought that...
you will be here as well.
Brother Zhang.
The whole city is looking for you.
Why would you dare come back?
I'm here to get an evidence.
That will be hard.
Ji Wen is doing a patrol in the evidence room now.
The Right Cavalries is guarding it's door. It's suicide to go in.
You can take it out for me then.
I have only one head.
You are right.
Are you going to give it to me now...
or are you going to give it to him later?
Can we don't do it like this? Can we abide by the old practice?
Abide by old practice?
Hit me in the head.
Make me faint and do your thing. We won't interfere with each other.
You are quite honest.
Brother Zhang. You better don't go as well.
Ji Wen is looking forward to arrest you...
in order to please the Right Counsellor.
How about we do it like this.
Go and lure Ji Wen out from the room.
Give us half an hour time.
-I'll go in. -It doesn't work like that.
If I see Ji Wen, I will call out a warning for sure.
Only then can I prove that I'm loyal to my post...
by bringing harm to you.
If I don't give out a warning, it'll bring harm to me instead.
I won't be able to help you with it.
Do you know who he is?
-Friar from Persian's monastery. -Friar from church.
-Prince of Persia.
He learns the art of magic from his state wizard since young.
He is an expert in stealing others' souls with his eyes.
Look at him. What colour is his eyes?
-Green colour. -If you call out a warning,
within three days, your soul will be taken away by that magical...
instrument on his neck.
You won't be able to reincarnate forever.
Still remember the case last year?
Advisor Liu was sleeping well at night until he suddenly went crazy.
He chopped his newly married concubine into six pieces.
And then, he cut open his own stomach.
The rotten smell lingered for three months before it was gone.
And all that had happened because...
he had insulted this person over here.
I am good looking.
But my eyes are poisonous.
I...
will help you as best as I can.
Sir Ji.
Advisor Zhao.
You are the useless man sent here by the Right Cavalries.
I will forgive you this once.
If you break the rules again when you come in next time,
don't blame me for punishing you.
Chief Ji!
Please forgive me.
What a useless man. Your ranking is just one level below mine.
-No need to apologise to me. -I have to.
Actually, General Gan has asked me to come here...
so that I can spy on you.
Gan Shou Cheng?
Stand up and talk to me.
He always told me that in the future, the Right Counsellor...
will definitely trust you more than he trusts him.
All of his efforts for all these years...
will go to waste!
Chief Ji, about this...
Shouldn't you keep this first?
Let me do it.
-The outermost one. Yes. -Alright.
What weakness of mine...
has a useless man like you collected for him?
I had collected many of his weaknesses for you instead.
Tell me.
If I tell you about it, I'll fully offend him.
As long as he's here, I won't be able to get promoted.
So, what weaknesses of his have you collected for me?
Today,
General Gan has let Zhang Xiao Jing go.
What?
At first, we already managed to arrest Zhang Xiao Jing at the gate.
I never thought that as soon as General Gan went there...
I suspect that...
General Gan and Li Bi, the previous chief of Peacekeeper Corps...
are having some under-the-table deal.
He dares betray Counsellor Lin?
Listen to me...
Listen to me carefully...
so that you can report it to the Right Counsellor.
You knew about the unexpected explosion...
at the water canal in the Western District today, right?
Zhang Xiao Jing drove the big carriage alone...
with five boxes of Crouching Fire behind him.
-That fuse... -Get to the point.
What weakness does he have?
Yes. Zhang Xiao Jing drove that carriage through the Dragon Threshold.
Get to the point.
Li Bi's servant girl is a reigning beauty...
with stunning appearance.
-Really? -Of course.
Her body is absolutely...
-Look at your useless face. -fantastic.
You need to see her.
Are these the same bamboo pieces left by that female assassin?
It's the same.
Thank you.
I should be the one to thank you.
I'm very glad that I can be of help to you.
It's not safe to be with me.
These bamboo pieces are blown to smithereens.
We can't make anything out of them. What should we do next?
There is a person in Chang'an who can deduce the original shape...
of something from some broken pieces.
There is someone more observant than I am?
Peacekeeper Corps has a model layout of Chang'an in it's hall.
It's superb, a true craftsmanship.
We are going to find the creator of this model layout.
-He is Chao Fen. -Chao Fen?
I think I heard his name before.
What is his relationship with that young commander,
Abe no Nakamaro from Japan?
I think you meant Chao Heng.
Chao Fen is his disciple.
He followed Tang's official to Chang'an to learn the art of Tang.
He is a gifted man. He lived in Chang'an for more than ten years.
And he has perfected the art of craftsmanship.
Where is he?
You are blamed and kicked out by Right Counsellor...
but it's not your fault. You have put in your best effort.
People at the top...
always like to blame the people under them when something goes wrong.
What have I done...
to deserve such a fine lady like you?
Don't worry. I'll find a chance to make a notable contribution.
Today will be my chance to shine.
Excuse me.
You are right.
Yun Xiu!
I'll go and get some solid backups. They won't be able to escape.
You are quite smart.
Tan Qi?
Greetings, Prince Yong.
Why are you here?
Please bring me...
into Xingqing Palace with you.
I need to meet His Majesty.
I'll leave at once after that.
You want to meet His Majesty?
For crown prince?
For Li Bi? Just now, I saw him going in.
Why didn't he bring you along?
Don't tell me that you are doing it for Zhang Xiao Jing?
You are an opened-minded person. I'll be straightforward with you.
Although Zhang Xiao Jing has offended you before,
what he did today is for the safety of Chang'an.
If a hero like him still have to face beheading in the end,
who else will dare be a hero in the future?
You are an exceptional person. I think you understand my point...
better than I do.
Please bring me into...
the Grand Auditorium with you.
Not a chance.
Last year, Zhang Xiao Jing had beaten Prince Yong...
Please forgive me. Unlike crown prince who is shining bright on the top,
I have to be stuck with fools like him.
This little drum is the permanent pass given to the musician today.
It is so delicate and cute that I've requested them to give me one.
Wear it and you can get into the palace together with the musicians.
Thank you, Prince Yong.
Your Highness.
She's trying to save Zhang Xiao Jing's life.
Why help her?
I not one to bear grudges. Zhang Xiao Jing's life...
has nothing to do with me.
Li Bi's servant girl...
barged into Xingqing Palace...
and make a ruckus in front of His Majesty.
This will put crown prince in a bad spot for sure.
You are brilliant, Prince Yong.
Feng Da Lun.
You always managed to puff up my ambitions.
I have no talents.
That's right. I envy the crown prince more...
when I see you untalented face.
Let's go.
I found Chao Fen's house.
He's very famous.
We'll be able to locate him by following these lanterns.
What if he's too haughty to meet us?
" Chao's Manor "
-Excuse me... -My master is at home.
Please come in.
Don't you need to ask who we are?
The government officials always come to my master to check on the evidence.
We try to help as much as we can.
But whether or not our master is willing to look at it depends on him.
If he's someone that the master dislikes,
he won't even spare a glance at him.
It's fine. I'm the prince of Persia. I'm loved by all.
Let me do it.
I am the prince of Persia.
I admire your craftsmanship a lot.
We are here today...
to ask for your help.
I...
I am from Peacekeeper Corps.
Have a seat.
The name of Peacekeeper Corps is so useful.
Is it well?
Who?
Sir Chao Fen.
You have someone you know in Peacekeeper Corps?
I have something...
that I need you to identify for me.
Please have a look.
What is this?
And who made it?
Go back.
My master is like this.
He has fallen in love with ironware lately.
He has no interest in things other than ironware.
This is about the safety of Chang'an.
This is an emergency. Please take a look at it.
Peacekeeper Corps was attacked.
Majority of the officials are dead...
and everything is destroyed.
Say that again!
Peacekeeper Corps was attacked.
These bamboo pieces are the only clues.
Peacekeeper Corps was attacked.
What about it? Is it well?
-Who? -The model layout!
Where is the model layout I did for Chang'an?
-Model layout? -It was burnt to crisp...
by those criminals.
Is he crazy?
The heart of a crafter.
He regarded that model layout as his own child.
I only borrow that model layout to Peacekeeper Corps.
I was going to bring it back to Japan to build a city like that...
so that our country can have a city as great as Chang'an.
-Do you have enough land to do so? -I can build a smaller one.
Who is the one that destroyed my model layout?
These bamboo pieces...
are the important clues that will point us to the culprit.
