♫ You ask when I'll be back♫
♫On the wild road far and beyond,with the long knife in my hand♫♫ I'd drink to my heart's content♫
♫ And I'd ride and laugh in the blowing wind♫
♫ The sadness of parting is everywhere♫
♫ Time elapses at the tip of my knife♫
♫ My heart hardens and your tears are like pearls♫ ♫ We have nonwhere to rest♫
♫ And the fading dream's like begonia in the fall♫
♫ The emptiness of life is everywhere♫

♫ Living the troubled time♫
♫ I fight to control all my own♫
♫ Hewu! I'm lost in your love deep as the sea♫
♫ For all our cherished memories♫ ♫ I won't succumb to my fate♫

The Great ProtectorEpisode 23
Lord TongSlowly Slowly
He really sucksHe's not a man
His child will be born without the asshole
I've never suffered like that since I was born
While I was there
If I wasn't thinking about our Escort Serviceabout our causes
I would have died a hundred times
Lord TongAs I can see
Your suffering is a good thing
Lead Escort MasterI'm already like thisHow can you say something like that
You are so cruel
Lead Escort Master is rightWisdom comes by suffering
You'll know the pain when you are beaten
Otherwise If you continue to do those things of swindling and cheating
You'll lose your life sooner or later
You bitchYou have no right to talk here
Lead Escort MasterLook at himSo ungrateful
The noodle you are eating is cooked by me
All right All right, Xiu'erLord Tong has suffered a lot when he was in there
Don't say anything again
E'erheGet control of your woman
You...What are you talking aboutWho is his woman
Why are you smirking
Lord TongTell us What did you experience while you were in there
Don't just keep on eatingSay something
I was so wrongly treated
This...what about it
They've prepared a few bowls of noodles for you in the kitchen
Just eat to your heart's content
Definitely won't let you go hungry
Gentle GentleGentler
This is caused by the beating by Li Guaizi at the East Gate
I remember that
This is because of the kick by that rickshaw puller
- Gently- Lord Tong- Gently
Haven't you got enough while you were there this time
Non-stop from the beginning till the end of my stay
That was all because Jia Kemu gave me a hard time intentionally
Just don't let me get my day
If you fall into my hand one day
I'll make you regret that you were ever born
Jia Kemu killed Lord Wa
Lord WaDead
He was wrongly killed
Bastard
Eating people without spitting out the bones
Lead Escort MasterJia Kemu will certainly do something to the Escort Service sooner or later
He's done so much injustice to othersHe won't last for too long
Lord TongSeriously
Du Zaishan's Sanli Escort Sevice has closed its door
I took over his people and property
Now we don't have enough space hereand have to move to a different place
This old fox Du Zaishan
The most critical thing right now is thatwe don't have money
Lead Escort MasterWe can try to pool the money
With whom
Lead Escort MasterI think some of the rules and custom should be changed
In the past when an escort master joins the Escort Service
He will just come empty-handed
Once oriented he can receive the allowance for settling-in
He not only gets regular pay but also dividend
This is too unfair to the Escort Service
How do you want to change it
Very simpleJoin with an entry fee
No entry fee no dividend
Getting paid without taking on the escorts
It doesn't make any sense
The escort masters are poorAccording to the rules, they've always received the dry shares
People in the escort business are doing it risking their lives
The settling-in allowance is to provide some assurance to their families
This rule can't be changed
But isn't that the situation is tough now
You can't be so kind when doing business
The tougher the situation isThe tougher the escort masters' lives will be
Even if you ask them to pay the feesThey won't be able to do that
OKWe are not gonna talk about anything else
Let's just talk about the settling-in allowanceThat is quite a big amount
Where are you gonna pool the money
We still have some money at handShare it with everybody first
As for the restLet's think about it again later
Lead Escort MasterSomeone is here for you
Have some rest first
Lead Escort MasterRight now whatever business we get
We have to take it
Jia Kemu
You son of bitchYou are really killing me
Mr Cai
Lead Escort Master LiuLong time no see
Hope everything is fine with you, Mr Cai
Very Well Please come inLet's sit down and talk
Sit down pleaseI really have to thank you
If it wasn't for youMaybe last time Mr Song and I would be
Remains the heart and soulWhile broken body vanishing like ashes
Mr Cai was referring to a poem of one of our comrade
As the poem goes
Passionately singing in the publicCalmly becoming imprisoned
Readily sacrificing my life
Proudly living up to my dream
Remains the heart and soulWhile broken body vanishing like ashes
Remains the sparkle of idealWhich lighting up the darkness every night
Honestly I'm a little ashamedI'm not a well educated man
Talking about the poem with meis just like casting pearl before swine
- Enjoy it, Escort Master Liu- Thank you
But Readily sacrificing my life
Proudly living up to my dream
It really makes one's heart pumping and blood rushing
Well saidMan should have ambition
and must live up to his life
Escort Master LiuWe have experienced the difficult times togetherand are not strangers
I'm asking you to come here todaybecause I have a presumptuous request
Please go ahead, Mr Cai
I'll go straight to the point
I'd like to ask you to protect a person for me
What kind of person
Mr Sun (Sun Yat-sen)
This trip by Mr Sun
is not a secret to anyone
Due to what happened to us last time
My Party would have to plan some protections for him
But based on his open and upright personality
He will not accept the protection by others
I've been thinking about it over and over
and feel you are the best person to do that
So you want to me to protect Mr Sun in secret, Mr Cai
Then can you tell me a little bit about the destination of this trip
ZhangjiakouTour for the railroad between Beijing and Zhangjiakou
There was one timeLiu Anshun came to stay in the Ancestral Hall of my family
and insisted on learning some outright force with me
I told him my Kungfu skills
were all taught by my Master Damusu King
Who only taught me in dreams
- He didn't believe me- It must be pretty hard for you on the road
- OK OK OK- Try thisMy son Anshun...
Anshun is a good kid
Head Master
Head MasterPlease forgive me for leaving without a notice that day
It's not that I should forgive you
It's me who let you down
It was my fault
All these things you've been doing in BeijingI've heard about it
You are really a worthy disciple of me
Rongrong and Xiping
They just got marriedI didn't tell you
I just don't know how to say that to you
It was my fault firstYou don't need to be concerned, Head Master
I'm getting old
and tend to make more mistakes
Please don't say that, Head Master
Probably I am just not blessed enough
Please don't worry too much, Head Master
XipingXiping is much better that I am
He will take good care of Rongrong
Get up
Although we are not blessed to be in-laws
Luckily we are still master and disciple

This is the document for your apprenticeshipI got your White Bag back
As for the Black BagI also brought it over
Today the two of us
Let's have it burnt
From now on
You are still the Head Escort Master of Taigu Escort Service
- Head Master- Don't refuse it
I've talked to Xiping about this long time ago
Once you got your White Bag back
He should return the Head Escort Master's position back to you
Head MasterSorry I can't comply with your request
This is unfair to Xiping
Nothing is undair
Whereas there's an important positionIt should be held by person with virtues
You're more qualified for that position than him
You can be humble about certain things
But you have to step forward when facing the vital situation
MasterThis is for you
How could I accept such valuable gift, Miss Lu
You are very welcome
You know what trades and business I'm in
This is called presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers
Last time when I came to Beijing You showed me such warm hospitality
It's no discord no concord between us
Since you've said thatIt would be disrespectful if I insist on not accepting it
Accept it please
Oh It was yesterday
Someone sent you this letter
Great
Uncle Xia Miss LuI have to go out right nowYou guys go ahead to eat
Anything urgent
I'm going to meet a very important person
OhYou come to Beijing to meet your lover after all
No wonder you were in such a hurry on the way here
What loverThe person I'm going to meet...
I'll talk to you laterUncle Xia I'm leaving now
Be carefulMore haste,less speed
You seeHe is in such a hurryProbably going to Badahutong (a place well known for brothels)
Head Master
I understand what you saidI'm not refusing because of my modesty
Then why do you refuse
I thinkI'm thinking about leaving Taigu Escort Service
and have a fresh start here in Beijing
Fresh start
Your Guangshun Escort Service
did make some progress here in Beijing
But comparing to the Taigu Escort Service
It's not even close in comparison
After all the Taigu Escort Service
is doing business with the money sevices
Head MasterI understand all what you said
While I'm in Beijing these days
I suddenly realized
It's not right for a man to develop a dependency
Once he develops the tendency of relying of something
He won't be able to accomplish anything
Head MasterDare I something that might offend you
Hope you don't mind
At the Taigu Escort ServiceYou are just like a big tree
All of us are leaning on you and enjoying your shelter
When we are leaning on it for too long
and enjoying too much of the shades
Gradually we forget
We need to grow up to be a big tree ourselves
Head MasterDo you understand what I mean
What you mean is that
I'm blocking your way of moving forward
That's not what I meant
Head MasterI didn't realize until now
You were not punishing me to let me come to Beijing
You were giving me another opportunity
Maybe at the Taigu Escort Service
Everything will be smoother for me
But that is not good to me
Everyone will experience setbacks
This setback is well worth it for me
Do you really think that way
Head MasterXiping and I
Both of us are your disciples
Having Xiping and Rongrong
to safeguard our roots at the Taigu Escort Service
You can rest assured
I only hope
I can be successful with my Escort Service
So I won't disappoint you
Well said
I'm really surprised
You have thought so much more thoroughly that I do
With your determination
There is nothing you can't accomplish
Head MasterSo by saying thatYou've agreed, haven't you
I not only agree
I'm also thinking about taking stakes in it
Head Master So you are...
These money drafts
are my savings for all these years
Take them as your capital
Head MasterThese are the savings for your retirementHow can I take them
These money are not for you
These are the capital as my investment in Guangshun Escort Service
I'm the shareholder of your Guangshun Escort ServiceIs that OK
This..
Take them
Thank you Head Master
This is great , Anshun
Hey Missy
Hey Miss Lu Miss Lu
Lu Yaoting Lu YaotingYou are so useless
Aren't you just paying a visit out of convenience
He's not gonna eat anyway
Lead Escort MasterI saw someone at the front door
It looked like Miss Lu to me
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
I told her I'm your fiancee
What
I'm asking you whether it is
Waiter
MissyAnything I can do for you
That guy who plays with crickets
Who takes advantage of decent womenThat rogue
Are you talking about Lord Wa
Yes yes yes. That is himWhere is he
- He's deadDead
Got beheaded
Right on the street over there
Not even an intact body left at the end
All the good will get its rewardAll the evil will get its retribution
What a pity
Lead Escort Master
Lord Chen
Did you really see Miss Lu just then
I've said I didn't see clearly
She was walking too fast
Anshun
Miss Lu Miss Lu
Your turn
Oh my turn
Are you really playing chess
or studying the physiognomy of the chess
All right
I didn't see itNo regret once played
Just once
You're regretted for over ten times, Miss Lu
One last time One last time
Miss LuI think your body is here
But your mind is not here
Miss LuIs there something on your mind
What could I have on my mind
You look so hesitated
So indecisive
You're probably experiencing some difficulties
So useless
That Miss Lu
Is she the second in command at the Blindman's Ridge
Yes
Are you falling for her
- Head Master- You don't need to say anything
I can tell from your reaction
You've fallen for herRongrong is married Xiping
I feel guilty to you on that matter
I shouldn't have had too much interference about your marriage
But this is different
Escort masters and bandits can't travel the same road
Once you cross over this boundry
It'll be a bottomless chasm in front of you
It may cost your life
Head Master I understand
You don't understand
Escort masters and bandits can't travel together
You can keep contact
But absolutely can't get married
Once you cross this boundry
You and that girl
will never be able to keep a foothold in the underworld
The escort business will treat you as a traitor
It's the biggest sin to betray your Patron Diety
The bandit will treat her as mole and must kill her with no hesitation
If you do that You'll not only harm yourself
But also harm that girl
Uncle Xia
Did you see the person you want to see
Of courseWhat people say about his demeanorhas no comparison to what you actually see
Every guesture he made Every word he said when I met him today
It's all about the style of a leader
He is really the role model of our generation
You are so pumped up Who did you meet
The gentleman I met is my role model
Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to meet him when in Japan
When I finally met him today
Listening to his speech is way more beneficial to me than ten years worth of reading
Uncle XiaI'll accompany him to Zhangjiakou tomorrow
I'll leave the preparation and arrangement of supplies all to you
Feel free to go
- So boring - Great
I'm going to bed
Oh Liu Anshun will also be going with us tomorrow
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
I've sorted out the clothes for you already You can bring them for the trip
Thank you mother
MotherThe thing about Rongrong
I haven't told you yet
Since you came back from Taigu last time
I've already figured it out
I didn't ask you because I was still keeping a slim hope
Such a good marriage arrangement
How could it go wrong all of a sudden
Don't blame RongrongIt was my fault
If there was not that Miss Lu
You and Rongrong would not have become like this now
MotherI owe some favor to Miss LuYou can't talk about her like that
I knowBut gratitude is one thingAffection is another thing
You've always been able to handle things properly
You can't make mistake on this
It was the first time I took the train
The train was really fast
But it just made me feel unsettled
Yan Jinshui once told me
Time has changedPeople need to catch up and change as well
I didn't understand
There has been changes of regimes since ancient times
Life still goes on as usual
But I just realized while sitting on the train
People really need to keep up with the changes of time
Escort Master LiuCome over and sit down
Anshun Take a seat
AnshunAre you feeling uncomfortable
Mr YanIs the train always swaying like this
You'll feel like that when you're on the train for the first time
You'll get used to it after a while
I'd better standYou should be quite used to the bumpy ride on the horse
How come you are having motion sickness
Mr YanThe feeling of riding a horse is different from taking the train
The horizontal swings make me quite uncomfortableit's OK I 'll just stand
- What happened- Don't worry
This is the train going through a tunnel
- Through a tunnel- Yes
- We were in a tunnel just then- Yes
I guess it will take no less than eight or ten year to dig a tunnel like this
This tunnel is about one kilometer long
It was dug using the method of shaft sinking
Probably took about one year
This is the result of the progress of modern science and civilization
- I see- Big and toasty sunflower seeds
Do you want some
Sunflower seeds
Big and toasty sunflower seeds
Thank youSunflower seeds
Do you want some sunflower seeds
Sunflower seeds
- Sir Do you want some sunflower seeds- No Thank you
- There're a lot of people hereIt'll be nice to have some sunflower seeds while chatting- Thank you sir
All rightJust let me know if you need anything
Sunflower seeds
Big and toasty sunflower seeds
Sunflower seeds
- Would you like to have some sunflower seeds- One bag
There's the wealthy over there
But there's a bodyguardI think the bodyguard is tough to handle
Get rid of the bodyguard first
Then get the stuff
The three of you take care of the bodyguard
We must get this done
Mr CaiTake care of Mr Sun
Something is going on out thereI'll take care of it
Don't come out under any circumstance
He's out
Sunflower seeds Sunflower seeds
Big and toasty sunflower seeds
- I'm so scared- What's going on
Yaoting
What's going on
Sorry Sorry to frighten you
I'll have people escort you to Zhangjiakou
All rightLet everybody get back on the train after the inspection
Yes yes yes
You were on the train
Why didn't you tell me
Why should I tell you
The train is not operated by you anyhow
Luckily we were not in the same carriage
Otherwise they would have got us all
I owe my life to you again
YeahYou've owed me so muchHow are you gonna repay
No way to repayEven if I give up my entire being to you
Still not enough
Nice try
So you've already arranged this long time agao
Even hide it from me
Who told you thatIt was all my crafty plan
I knew something was gonna happen to youSo I got on the train in secret
I'm telling youYou've owed me a big favor this time
We need to get it well settled afterwards
No matter how much I owe youAs long as Anshun is hereI would not have the chance
I'm not gonna disturb youYou guys go on
Did you hear
Get back on the train Get back on
Let's go
- Mr Cai- Come on inMiss Lu Please sit down
Miss LuSo you and Mr Liu are friends
No wonder your Kungfu is so impressive
My Kungfu is just so so
But just a little bit smarter than your bodyguard
Escort Master LiuIs Miss Lu also in the escort business
Mr CaiYou guessed it wrong
I'm wrong
He belongs to the escort businessI'm a bandit
Those people are my peers actually
So you don't believe me
Of course I believe youSo we are of the same kind actually
- Ah You are the same kind as I am- That's right
Don't you believeAsk him if you don't believe
Just last yearWe were the rebels wanted by the Qing Imperial government
There can't be any bandits more famous than we are
- Really- Indeed
Mr Sun came for the railroad specifically this time
If the railroad is fineEverything will be fine in the world
If everything is fineOur nation will thrive
Next let's welcome Mr Sun to give us a speech
Develop our nation with the railroad
EverybodyIn today's world
Constructing so many railroadsPeople will all take the train in the future
How do we continue to be the bandits
Miss LuCan you not to be a bandit going forward
What can I do if I'm not gonna be a bandit
Be an ordinary person
Ordinary person
What for
Nothing
Just be a ordinary personAt least not to do any wicked things
ReallySorry I will disappoint you
I'm a bandit since I was born
Have done many wicked things
So evilCan't change anymore
No no no That's not what I meant
You just think that I'll bring disgrace to you if I'm with you
Sorry I'm not your martial sister
I don't have a clean background
- Listen to me- Forget it
You've said long time agoEscort masters and bandits can't travel the same road together
Don't worryFrom now on
I'll not claim any relationship with you
- I've said that's not what I meant- Then what do you mean
Tell me
Tell me when you make up your mind
- Miss Lu- Lead Escort Master- Miss Lu
Lead Escort MasterCome here
Sir Who are you looking for
I'm looking for that girl who stays in this room
Are you looking for Miss LuShe is not in the room
How do you know
She was back once in the afternoon
and left with a bag
I'm the attendant for this floorHaven't seen her back since then
♫In the distanceThe appearance of happiness in my memory
♫Still rememberingWaking up from the dream in the winter night
♫On that dayLooking back towards the hometown from far away
♫As the person in my heartYou are as warm as the sun in the winter
♫Where is it today
♫The moonlight is like your eyesLooking at me in silence
♫I'm waiting for your returnAt the time with frost around
♫Time flies by so fastBut you are just like what you used to be
♫At the end of the world ♫
♫There'll be you and me♫
Are you looking for me
I bought the ticket
I was thinking about going back to the Blindman's Ridge
But when I got on the trainI felt I still didn't want to give up
I was afraid once I left
I would never see you again
