The Longest Day in Chang'An (Chang An Shi Er Shi Chen / 长安十二时辰)

Li Bi would even give up on his future for the sake of the Corps?

What is he doing?

To protect the people of Chang'an.

Don't you know how the system works?

The Corps is the first real job the Crown Prince got from His Majesty.

Li Bi will surely do it well and please the Crown Prince.

News from the Ministry of Capital.

Regarding the murder case of Tang Tong Shou of Wannian County,

there seems to be something at miss.

The files says they had a fallout because of work.

But there is a hidden statement at the Ministry of Capital.

It was a confession of Tan Tong Shou's servant before committing suicide.

In August, second year of Tian Bao era,

The Blaze gang was killing and plundering five merchants...

on the sixth road of Anye Street.

Tan Tong Shou led the Sleuth-hounds there but they just watched.

The file says it was the victims that started the fight.

After Zhang Xiao Jing killed 34 men of the Blaze Gang,

Tan Tong Shou had Zhang Xiao Jing arrested.

Zhang Xiao Jing didn't resist the arrest.

While Tan Tong Shou was interrogating Zhang Xiao Jing,

he was killed by Zhang Xiao Jing in the middle of conversation.

The sixth road of Anye Street.

The sixth road of Anye Street.

The Lesser Patola Sahi Embassy was later built there.

-It's what the Emperor... -Is your information reliable?

It's from Mi Xin of the Ministry of Capital.

How did you find out about this?

San Nu found out about this.

San Nu?

San Nu does come in handy for us.

How did Zhang Xiao Jing get selected by the Corps?

The case file database.

" The Longest Day in Chang'an "

Episode 9

Commandant Yao.

You are back.

You spent an hour to walk here from Pingkang Street.

Where have you been?

The Ministry of Capital.

I don't understand Zhang Xiao Jing.

He killed his own informant.

He even broke his finger out of guilt.

He broke his own finger?

Yes.

He is just investigating a case for us.

You can't promise him anything either.

Why would he work so hard on this case?

This doesn't add up.

I read records about him.

There wasn't any detail in how he murdered those 34 men.

So, I went to the Ministry of Capital and talked to a friend.

Zhang Xiao Jing killed those 34 men in rage...

all because of vengeance.

The men from Blaze Gang...

tricked some common folks to a teahouse...

and as soon as they stepped inside,

the gang members stabbed them to death.

One of the victims...

was seen frequenting Zhang Xiao Jing's house.

It seems like the victim was his close friend.

The victim is Wen Wu Ji.

You know that too?

Zhang Xiao Jing might be giving his all for the investigation...

for some other reasons.

Why didn't the records...

show the details of his crimes?

In recent years,

the database is not as efficient as before.

The files are done in a rushed manner.

You are aware of this issue too.

But how did you know Zhang Xiao Jing is the man I need?

It's not that I know.

It's the case files database.

We are running out of time, we need to go now.

I work for the government. I have some information.

You sneaky Chang'an man, stalling us is futile.

Ma Ge Er, do it.

Sure.

Xu He Zi!

-Tie him up. -Ma Ge Er!

You fell for his trick! You fool!

You only think about giving your daughter a good life.

-You would even give up your life! -Don't touch the necklace!

We still have a life to live!

Pluck out my eyes.

Bury them where my daughter lives.

Don't forget.

Cao Po Yan.

We all envy you.

We want to live and have a daughter lovely like a star.

You!

What more can you tell us?

Bring me something to write on.

The map of Chang'an.

I can draw it for you.

Xu He Zi!

We have official work! Can you hurry up?

This is about His Majesty and he comes first.

Xu He Zi!

Xu He Zi!

Xu He Zi!

Xu He Zi!

Be gentle, General Wang' daughter is our special guest.

Wen Ran sent you here?

She lured you here too?

Draw it!

Draw the map!

If your father sees you at Sanggan River,

I am sure he will be happy.

I don't need the whole map. I just want part of it.

If we break through that point,

Chang'an will be shrouded in fear.

Make sure we can escape unscathed.

Which part of the map do you want?

Where do you think is the best?

What is your name?

Zhang Xiao Jing.

Zhang Xiao Jing.

You are a traitor!

A uniform of the military,

you were a soldier?

My father told me once.

A soldier of Tang would rather die than being a traitor.

Your father only ever saw the enemies charging towards him.

He has never been stabbed in the back before.

My father told me once.

He never have much thoughts for what the others do.

He must save his own neck first.

This saying...

was said by someone else too.

Enough about the others.

Let's get our job done.

When will the reinforcement arrive?

What's the matter?

So, just because we have no reinforcement,

you are actually going to quit now?

Have a seat there.

If I don't come back by midnight,

Go to Chang'an, I am leaving my daughter in your hands.

What are you doing?

Are you going after the wolves again?

Our brothers are waiting to get some meat for the festivity.

There are bandits at the south too.

If I knew there were bandits at the south when I took on this mission,

I would never have come here.

What's done is done, I have no choice but to do it.

I will go with you.

You will corner the wolves, I will capture them.

Forget it.

An archer like you is hard to come by, you are an elite.

Which is why I can help you.

Just keep watch here.

If the enemies ambush us at night,

slay them all for me.

Don't worry about me.

I am old and I am not afraid of death.

It's all right.

Come, take off this Armour for me.

Just take it.

Setting a trap is no big deal.

Turn around.

Turn around!

I love to watch as animals struggle from their death.

Turn around.

How is your leg?

I will live.

-I will live. -You will be crippled for life.

You little rascal.

Let's go.

-Thank you. -For what?

Our brothers are waiting for us.

Indeed.

Festival could be a nuisance,

but it gives us the will to live.

It keeps us alive.

This meat smells great!

This is great!

-I haven't had meat in months! -Captain Wen.

Have a wonderful Lantern Festival.

Come on, let me have some too.

Did everyone take the meat?

I can have his share. Let him sleep for a while.

This stubborn fool is exhausted.

Look at this.

-This is for you. -You left the good meat for me!

Slowly.

It's worth it to take another arrow for my brothers.

Thanks, Old Man Wen!

Thanks, Captain Wen!

I have a feeling...

we will have a good life after this war is over.

-Yes, a good life! -Yes!

I will reopen the incense shop after I get back to Chang'an.

You can all live at my place!

-We will meet up everyday! -That's right!

That man died in Chang'an.

What is this place you are drawing?
