The Great ProtectorEpisode 15
Chief
The rules of the gang can not be violated
GoodVery good
Just have been here for a few days and now I can witness an execution
I'm so lucky
But you are not dying of a worthy cause, buddy
Losing your life for a woman
It's so lowReally low
You shut upYou have no right to speak here
ChiefI would like you to spare his life
Just don't know how to make that happen
You want to save him
Not sure whether I'm qualified of that...
capability
You are not before
But if you really want to save him
Give me your reason
He looks pleasing to my eyesCan this be considered a reason
You brat
OK OK That is a reason
But you will be hung like an armour on his behalf him for a day
As long as you don't beg for mercyI'll release him from his previous committment immediately
and let him leave
Hung...hung like an armourWhat is that
Whatever chores I need to do in my next life I will repay your big favor
Ma...Ma HuziDamn it
If I have a knifeI'll chop you up first
ChiefLooks like he is really a tough guy
His temper is quite like the Old Commander back then
How about just put him down
No hurry
Hope he still can stand it
Lord ShanmaoLord Shanmao
My life
is...is all yours
You beggarDon't move any further
You will die if you walk any further again
BrothersWould you please inform your Chief
Tell him that Zhang Duanhean old acquaintance from the Nian Army, is visiting
I don't remember hearing your name in the Nian Army before
I joined the Nian Army later
and became the Old Commander's bodyguard
You went to Shan'xi at that timeSo of course you didn't see me then
I have no dealings with the old acquaintances now
There's no Nian Army in the world anymorePlease go back to where you're from
You said you had no dealings with the old acquaintances, Chief
Then who is Dai Haichen
You've met Dai Haichen
I saw him leaving the Blindman's Ridge
What are you coming here for
Shanmao, the son of the Old Commander
Oh You are also here for him after all
Yes
What do you want
For the sake of the Old CommanderI'm asking you to let me take him away with me
He's all fine and well here
No worries about wine and dine everydayWhy would he leave
ChiefThe young lord is a free spirit
He will only make trouble for you if he stays here
The bandits have troubles everyday
Have used to dealing with all kinds of wild animalsWould I be afraid of being scratched
- Chief- Don't say anything anymore
I definitely will not let him go
You come to visit me and I show you some courtesy
No need to say anything elseJust leave
I will not leave if the young lord is still here
Sounds like if I don't release him
You would plan to use force
I dare notThe Old Commander gave me my life
At the worst I give it back to him
The Old Commander is gone
But you are not in the position to discipline his offspring either
The Old Commander entrusted me with his sonI dare not to let him down
ChiefI 'd be bold to ask for some exchanges of moves with you today
Old man Don't you want to live anymoreHow dare you act so boldly in the Blindman's Ridge
Put the guns down
OKNow I would like to see today
whether your Kungfu skills are worthy of my teaching today

Chief
I want to...join you
It's OK to join
But you haven't accomplished anythingSo you can only be the most junior in ranking
OK
You'll have to follow our rules if you want to join us
The consequences of not following the rulesYou had seen it yesterday
- I...I agree- Pick an auspicious date and open the Gathering Hall
Take him away
Is it really from the Forbidden City
There's the Seal on itHow could it be not real
Who is His Royal Highness Prince Bao
Prince Bao was the Emperor Gaozong
Emperor Gaozong was canonized as His Royal Highness Bao before he was enthroned
Lord TongThen who is Emperor Gaozong
Hey guysI just can hardly continue to chat with you
Emperor Gaozong is also known as Emperor Qianlong
Gaozong is the Temple Name for Emperor Qianlong
If you've said Emperor Qianlong earlierwe would have know who you are talking about
Emperor Qianlong is the commonly known title
We people of the imperial kinship would not call him that way
This snuff bottle
It was the token of love to Concubine Xiang from Emperor Qianlong
Think about it
Concubine Xiang was a womanShe would not like the snuff tobacco
So there had never been any snuff tobacco in this bottle
But she carried it with her all the time
After a while
It became tainted with the fragrant scent of her bodyand the smell of it lingered for a long time
Cocunbine Xiang died laterEvery time Emepror Qianlong thought about her
he would rely on this snuff bottleWhen he took out the bottle and smelled the scent
He would feel as if Concunbine Xiang was still by his side
I'm so surprised to hear
Emperor Qianlong was so passionate and enduring about love
Human is not like vegetationThere are always love and passion
No matter a wise man or a regualr guythey are all human
You are rightBut how come this snuff bottle end up in your hand
Haven't I said beforeI'm of the imperial kinship
Back then when Concubine Xiang came to Beijing
My ancestor was the Chancellor appointed to handle that matter
It was said that Concubine Xiang was buried in Beijing
But this snuff bottle would be sent back to Xinjiangand buried in her hometown
However the situation was unstable in Xinjiang at that time
So this plan was delayed because of it
As the result, this snuff bottle was passed along to me natrually
I didn't expect to hear such a story
This is really a treasure
Of courseThe fact that you can see it today
It must be the blessings resulting from all the good things you've done in your previous lives
So you would have this opportunity in this life
How about it, guys
Which of you would be interested in taking this treasured item home
SureThere surely is
Lord TongPlease give your offer
Fifty ounces
How do you have the nerve to say that
Aren't you afraid Emperor would come out of his tomb to scratch you
You tell meHow much
- Five thousand ounces- Five thousand
Do you really think we don't know anything
Regardless whether this thing you have really belonged to Emperor Qianlong or not
Even if that is the caseit will not worth five thousand ounces of silver either
Yeah Do you really think we are so inexperienced
This snuff bottle you have
It will only cost one ounce of silver at Liulichang
So you guys are fooling around with me
You not only insulted me
but also insulted Emperor Gaozong
- Get out- Lord Tong Lord Tong
- Don't leave Lord TongPlease don't be mad Lord Tong
It's just about the business
It has to be acceptable to both parties
How about thisYou give an offer
I'll give you a counter offer
How do you think about that
Let me see what's your counter
Two thousand ouncesNo. Way too little
Lord TongTwo hundred ounces
Two hundredAre you insulting meNo way I'm telling you
- Lord Tong Lord Tong- All right- Lord Tong
To be honest with youIf it's not because of your story
For this particular snuff bottle
I would not be willing to pay that amount at all
How about thatIf you think it's all right
I'll pay right on delivery of the bottle
Don't say something like that
I just ran into some troubles
Otherwise I'd not sell something inherited from the ancestors even if you kill me
It's a letdown of my ancestors when I sell itno matter how much it's sold for
But nonetheless
we met here anyway
All rightI'd just consider it as making a friend at a cost
Take it away
You take this
Good bye
Wait
Now whatWhat else do you want to say
You are still having a feverDon't get off the bed so soon
I've been in bed for two daysDon't worry about me
Go ahead to continue your escort tripI can take care of myself
No hurry
You are saying one thing but really so worried on your mind
What worries me is not the escort
I know
You are worried that Miss Dai would misunderstand you
I didn't do anything wrongI'm not afraid of being misunderstood
You don't sound so confidentAre you really not worried
Take the medicine

AnshunHow is Miss Lu doing
It'll take another three or four daystill the fever can be brought down completely
Three or four daysWe can't wait any longer
People over there are waiting for the goods
How about this
We leave someone here to take care of Miss LuBut the escort carts should continue the trip right now
Can't do it that way, Mr Yan
I'd rather pay the fines if the goods don't make the way there before the due date
But I can't leave her behind
It's not about the money
If we delay any further
it'll screw up my big plan
Let me go Let me go
I'm telling youI'm not an average guy
It's easy for you to take me into custodyBut for me to leave
the Magistrate would have to send me home with a palanquin with eight carriers
Stop all the nonsense
I'm telling youI'd arrest eight hundred of someone like youif not a thousand
Wait till you get to the police station and being put to torture
Then you will know how it feels
Gentlemen gentlemenWhy botherWe all just try to make a living
I still have twenty ounces of silver in my pocket
Please take it as a token of respect to you
Please spare me with your mercy and let me go
GentlemenWhy are you holding up my people
Who are you
I'm Liu Anshun of Guangshun Escort Service
We're detectives from the Police
We heard there's someone ripping people off with scams
So we came here for undercover investigation
This guy is just unlucky to run into us
He has to go to the Police with us
OfficersJust wonder what did he cheat you on
He is really bold
Even dares to sell the stuff stolen from the Forbidden City
According to the laws of Qing DynastyAt the minimum it will be the death sentence with reprieve
Hey hey LordIt's from Liulichang, not the Forbidden City
Hey Didn't you say it was the gift to Concubine Xiang from Emperor Qianlong
Maybe not this one
It...It's really not it
So it proves you are cheating on us, aren't you
Asking for two hundred ounces of silver for a snuff bottle
The money draft is still with you
What is that calledCaught on the spot with the stolen goods
You are certainly not wrongly accused
Officer
Can I speak to you in privateThis way please
Watch out for him
HurryWhat do you want to say
I still need to go back to report to my superior
OfficerMy guy did something wrong
You are doing your businessI have nothing to say
What do you mean
OfficerMy Escort Service will travel this route quite often in the future
Just a small token, Officer
Please accept it as if for some teas
I'd appreciate your help later on, Officer
Lead Escort MasterYou are really something A gesture of goodwill comes first before even mentioning his release
What else can I sayAll right I'll do you this favor
Lead Escort Master is sensible and considerate
We'll pay him some respect
Thank you Officer
See you later Officers
Lord TongYou can't stay with the Escort Service any longer

After I finish this escort trip
I'll go back to Taigu and ask your father for his permission to our marriage
So try to come back earlier
Stop the nonsense

Foreigners are all devils
Cut the crap, I'm telling youTake out all the valuables
- Only that much- That's all I have
Don't compel me to use force
That's my crossYou can't take it You can't take it away from me
- Don't move- You can't take this- I told you not to move
We've been around for over ten daysbut only got you two paupersSo unlucky
Really unluckyTake this off

They've already known their mistakes
You're almost killed by themWhy would you believe them
I'm willing to believe in their nature
I'm not gonna be so stupid to be fooled by somebody again

Thank you for saving my lifeWhat's your name
My name is Dai Rong
Dai RongYou are from Shanxi

I can tell from your accentI've lived there for twenty years
Twenty years
Where are you going
Back to ShanxiAre you also going back to Shanxi, Miss Dai
I don't know
Don't be afraidIt's my martial brother Xiping
Martial SisterWhy did you leave without a notice
Xiping This is Father Wilson
Let me go Let me go
Are you going to see Brother Shun
I've said Leave me aloneI just want to be by myself
Don't try to keep all the agony to yourself
I just can't stand seeing your suffering and sadness
If you want to clear up the misunderstandingI will take you to see Liu Anshun
If you want to go homeI'll take you back to Taigu
It's hard for me to accept this
Let's go
Miss DaiYou saved our lives
I have nothing to repay your favor
Please accept these two books
Thank you
Miss DaiYou are a kind person
A kind person will be safe and sound
No matter where she goes
If you return to Shanxi
You can come to see me in Taiyuan
I will
I'm leaving nowGood-bye
Let's go
Tong HaDon't drink here anymore
Go apologize to the Lead Escort Master
Ask him to kindly take back his words
I go apologize to himAre you kidding
When did I ever bow to someone else
Tong HaIt's not easy for the Lead Escort Master to carry out this escort
We should not cause any trouble for him
Am I causing trouble
I was framed by somebody
You're not gonna understand what I'm saying
What are you going to do
Go to dieDon't even try to stop me
Go ahead please
Hey E'erhe
Who brought you to the Escort Service back then
Don't forget who dug the well when you drink the water
OK OK All right All right
Liu Anshun would not want you to goYou won't be able to leave
I like what you said
♫ I was originally from Wolonggang
Hey What else are you going to do
Just go out and wander around
♫ A laid-back person
I just don't believe this
Lord TongAlcohol is forbidden on the escort trip
Now what
I'm only a person dismissed by the Escort Service
Can't I drink a little bit
All rightYou take your time and enjoy itI'm going to feed the horse
Lead Escort Master Lead Escort MasterPlease don't leave. Let's talk
Don't say anything anymoreThere are rules in the escort business
You have to follow these rules if you join this profession
Yes I knowIt was my fault today
That's why I'm here to apologize to you
Moreover there's the ancient saying No blame to the unconscious wrongdoings
If you really want to blame someoneblame yourself for not making it clear to me beforehand
Lord TongHow dare you put the blame on me in the end
That's simpleIs this the first time I join an escort trip
But I don't know it's not allowed to do some other businesseswhile we're on the road
Lord TongIs that called doing business
Bluffing and deceit are the behaviors of the swindlers
It was not my business you did that before
But in the escort businesscredibility is the most important thing
Going around bluffing and deceiving peopleyou are damaging our reputuation
Tell meHow should Guangshun Escort Service survive in this business in the future
But what happened today
It was obvious those two detectives framed and trapped me into their plot
I was the victim
Are there any good people in the police
I'm a man standing seven feet
oh no, more than five feet tall
Being dismissed by you without any apparent reason
How should I face everybody going forward
We, human live for our pridejust like Buddha wants the incense
As tough and unwavering as I am
I would rather die
Don't talk about dying so easily all the time
- It's not that serious- How could it not be serious
A man would risk his life for those who really understand him
You really don't understand the disposition of the intellectuals like me
I said I would assist you to fulfill your great accomplishmentsBut to my suprise, it failed prematurely
As fragile and sensitive as I amHow do you want me to bear all theseAlso...
OK OK Just stop
All right Lord Tong
The first violationYou can consider it as my fault since I didn't tell you clearly
It's fine if you really want to stay with the Escort Service
But please don't make the same mistakes againIs that OK
I'll certainly learn from the mistakes
If I ever do it againI will lose my family nameOh Have a sip
- Didn't I say alcohol is forbidden during the escort tripIt's water
Do you really think I don't know the rules
I just noticed that you have been worried in the last couple days because what happened to Dai Rong
Come onDrink a little bit and relax
As for the girlsthey just need some sweet talks
But it's not gonna be so easy this time
She is having a deep misunderstanding on me
I think there needs to be some sincerity
But sincerity alone is not enough
There should be something to express your sincerity
- What is it - Something like this
- You...- Relax. Listen to me
Emperor GaozongDo you know him
I'm leavingSee you in the Blindman's Ridge
Liu AnshunMiss Lu must be worried about delaying our schedule
If you are worried about her
You can go ahead of us to look for her
Never mind, I'd sayBliandman's Ridge is a major bandit stronghold
Their scouts are everywhere
I think there will be people coming out to meet her
You are right
EverybodySince we've been delayed somewhat on the road
Let's hurry up and ride an extra 10 km today
And let's have some meat stew and pancakes tonight
All right All right
They left very early this morningAbout four hours already
- Thank you- You are welcome
Left already
- Yes- For how long
Just left
Martial SisterThere are too many people in the groupWait for me on the way and I'll bring Brother Shun to you
XipingWhere is Rongrong
- She is fine- Where is she
Come here
Brother Shun Let me ask youDid you ever do anything that betrays her
How could I do anything that betrays her
Then why is she so mad
Here you go
Brother ShunI just want to ask you one thing
Go ahead
If Martial Sister wants you to go back with herCan you give up this escort
Did she really ask this
She didn'tBut I think that's probably what she's thinking
She doesn't want you to have too much dealing with the Blindman's Ridge
XipingThat was a misunderstandingI've told you before
Brother ShunWhen some misunderstanding takes the root deeply
it will become very difficult to eradicate
You don't want me to take on this escort either
Since the police has come to inspect The source of the goods for this escort must be somewhat illegitimate
I'm just concerned that you might mistrust someone
and take on the escort you are not supposed to take
That will do more harm than good in the end
Of courseWhether you decide to take on this escort or not
- It's totally up to you- Xiping I didn't do anything regretful to let Rongrong down
As I've already promised to the clientEverything has been set and written down
and I have no reason to go back on my wordsIf I go back on my words
I would be breaking the rules of the escort businessDo you understand
RulesRules againI understand
I think Rongrong would understand too
Where exactly did Rongrong go
When will we leave
She left for Taigu
Looks like she is having a big misunderstanding of me this time
Brother ShunYou've just said it was only a misunderstanding
Since it's a misunderstandingI'm sure you can clearly explain it
XipingI think I'll need your help on this matter
I'm tied up with this escort right now and can't leaveSo please help me to explain to her
She listens to say
Don't worryIt's already like that. Take it easy
All rightPlease go ahead without any further delay
It's quite chaotic out thereDon't let her wander around by herself
OK Don't worry
Take care of yourself
Brother ShunFor this escort trip
I wish everything is safe and sound with you
Go ahead
All problems solved
I hope so
I'm gonna say something you don't want to hear
I feel that your martial brother
- He is not the same kind of people as you are- Why
Although the practice of physiognomy is not all accurateAs I can see
He looks honest in appearanceBut at the corner of his eyes and the tip of his eye brow
There's a hint of treachery
Stop your nonsense, Lord Tong
Xiping and I grew up togetherWe can entrust our lives to each other
Don't say anything like that ever again
Look at you Look at youGood advice is always harsh to your ear
That is so true indeed
What's upWhat has happened
You are not gonna understand even if I tell youHave you eaten
I know you're defending your future husbandThere are rules in the escort business
As long as he can establish a new escort route
the Black Bag will be brought down
I'll let you two get married by that time
Martial Sister
How was itDid you see him
Where is he
He is not...Is that he doesn't want to come
Brother Shun has his own problemHe has to guard the goods and can't leave the escort team now
He does that to protect the goods
or to protect that bandit girl
Martial SisterWhether Brother Shun can return to Taigu Escort Serviceand become the Lead Escort Master again
It all depends on whether he can establish this escort route
So in order to become a Lead Escort Masterhe would do it at all costs
I'm going to ask him in person
Martial Sister
If you go the escort team won't be able to pass the Blindman's RidgeThen Martial Brother won't be able to return to Taigu ever
Let's go back to Taigu
