Why are you talking all these nonsenseJust keep singing as told
I only like this act
♫ Calling Mr ZhangWho is hiding underneath the checkerboard♫
♫ I'm coming to you
♫Be BraveKeep quiet and don't be afraid♫
Stop
Get out
You two Get out too
Lord Shanmao
Lord ShamaoSince we parted our ways at the Blindman's Ridge
I've been missing you so much
I was just wondering why you haven't shown up for so long
Where have you been
It was a coincidence
I went outside of the Shanhai PassOriginally I thought about finding a place to set up my own territory
It happened that Division Commander Li was recruiting outside of the Shanhai Pass
So I brought my people with me and joined his army
Thanks to Commander Li's attention
I was appointed as the Battalion Commander
Looks like you have turned from a crow to a sparrow
Without Lord ShanmaoThere wouldn't be me today
Tell meWhat are you coming here for
Lord Shanmao
I came here this time following the order of Commander Li
I'll be responsible for monitoring the situation inside the Shanhai Pass
When you say inside the Shanhai PassYou are referring to...
Wu Dingkui
And by the way also monitor the Blindman's Ridge, right
I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it from you
Then what are you coming here for
I'd like to ask you to come out, Lord Shanmao
Ask me to come out
It's such a waste to let you stay here at the Blindman's Ridge
Lu Zonshan will be taken over by Wu Dingkui sooner or later
Let's go outside of the Shanhai Pass
Thanks for your kindnessI can't leave
Lord ShanmaoI...
I took my head as the warranty to recommend you in front of Commander Li
- If you don't go...- You you...why are you so anxious
I just said I can not leave NOW
So you agreed
I stay because there will be a show here
Show
Do you know to whom that singer belongs
Whom
Wu Dingkui

Is that our client
Lead Escort Master
Our business is really booming right now
Isn't it
In recent daysOne after the other
There are businesses coming to us
Why those stores out there are all closed
I've rented these houses around our Escort Service
All the houses on the left belong to us right now
The rent is very cheap too
So we don't need to look for other places after we rent these houses
That's right
Lead Escort MasterWe got three escort deals while you were out
All big deals
Great Great
Lead Escort MasterIn total we received 1,200 silver dollars for deposit
I'd like to consult with you
Should we use part of it to remodel the places we just rented
Yes As soon as possible
I've put together a list
On the list are the materials we need such as lime, bricks and wood
And the fees for the bricklayers and carpenters
All right all right, Lord QiYou can discuss this with Lord Tong
OK
Oh Where is my Head Master
He is taking a walk in the back
OK
Lord Qi Let me take a look
OK
Add two carpenters
.
Also add two bricklayers
OK OK
GoodYour handwriting is pretty nice
Tell me nowHow do you feel about taking the train
Head MasterThe train is really fast
Two hundred fifty kilometers from Beijing to Zhangjiakou
It took less than a day
These things from the Westerners are quite extraordinary
You said Mr sun is talking about building railroad around the country
I'm just thinking when the railroads are built everywhere
How do we continue to take on the escorts
Head MasterWhat you are thinking is exactly what I was thinking
But now I understand
Building the railroad is a good thing
Good thing
Yeah With the railroad We can take on the escorts by train
There'll still be needs for escorting and guarding the goods
So you ran into the bandits this time
See what we 're talking about
Other people are afraid of running into the bandits
In our businessNo bandits no means of making a living
Anshun
I plan to leave for home tomorrow
Why are you leaving so soon, Head MasterI haven't spent much time with you yet
Not necessary at all
I came this time
and saw the business of your Escort Service is getting on the right track
I am really pleased
That's enough
You are busy with all these businesses
Don't need to spend time with me
- Head Master- As for the things in Taigu
I still need to make some arrangements
At any time
Don't forget the rules of the escort business
That is the bottom line of our behaviors
Keep that in mind
Do your best and take care
I understand Head Master
I'll take the train also when I'm free someday
So exciting

Master Xia
Are you really playing chess or studying the physiognomy of the chess
Check
My oversightLet me undo once
No regret once playedThat's what you said
You little girlMaking fun of me using my own words
All rightI concede defeat
No more play No more play
Finished so soon
A scholar who has been away three days must be looked at with new eyes
After a trip to Zhanghiakou
How come you seem to be a different person
How come even you noticed that
Since you are back today
Your every move and expression are full of joy
I'd be blind if I can't tell
No wonder the magpies are chirping so joyfully
Looks like some happy event is going to happen to somebody
MasterYou are such a sweet talker
Uncle XiaMiss Lu
I need to go back immediately tomorrow morning
What has happened
Nothing serious
You guys go onI'm going back to my room
Miss LuDoes the Blindman's Ridge
has any interaction with Division Commander Li outside of the Shanhai Pass
Division Commander Li
Never heard of him
Does your thing has anything to do with the Blindman's Ridge
I hope notYou may go rest now, Miss Lu
Uncle Xia
In regard to contact with Guangshun Escort ServiceI'd like to ask you to take care of it for us
Don't worry about it
Then I'm leaving now
OK
Escort master and bandits can't travel the same road together
Once you cross over this boundry
You may lose your life
Do you understand
But absolutely can't get married
Once you cross over 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
Good morning, Lead Escort Master
Good morning, Lord Chen
Oh Lord Chen
You'll bid farewell for my Head Master at lunchBuy some more nice food
Leave that to meDon't worry about it
Thank you
Please enjoy
Not keeping your words
Whom are you talking about
I thought you would not come
I'm not eating my words like you do
What are you looking at Haven't you seen a pretty girl before
This is the first time I see you dress like thisVery pretty
I was pretty too beforeYou just didn't notice
Oh YesI'd like to go shopping today
Do you have any other plan
I was hiding in your Escort Service all dayWhen I came to Beijing last time
and didn't get a chance to go anywhere
All right
You have other plan
No
You can't fool meAn honest man is not able to lieTell me
My Head Master is going back to Shanxi today
Why don't you tell me earlierGo ahead to send your Head Master away
Don't worry about meI can go by myself
I'll be worried about you if I let you go alone
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
Don't worryI'll keep a low profile
Nothing will happen
You're caring so much about me
Is that because of the escort route
What do you think
So annoying
Lord XiaWhat brings you here today
I wouldn't come to you if I hadn't something to ask of you
We're just about to send my Head Master away
MasterYou've only been here for a few daysWhy are you leaving
Stay for a few more days
I'll come back more later
Dai Haichen
Brother Xia
Isn't he that old doorman
Long time no see
Long time no see indeed
It's been thirty years
Brother XiaI was just thinking of the old acquaintances
Surprise to meThe old acquaintance comes to me right away
All the time
I've been thinking of the old acquaintances too
AnshunThere're something between me and Brother Xia
We need to talk in private
Not necessaryFor certain things we don't need to talk behind other people
Brother LiuMore than thirty years ago
I suffered a crushing defeat to your Head Master
Since then
I've been thinking all the time
Hope to have the chance to learn from him again
We were all young and aggressive back then
The fight for a catchy title
resulted in the disputes among the brothers
Thinking about it nowIt really doesn't worth it
I've always felt guilty about it these years
Brother XiaIt was my fault
I apologize to you
Apologize
Not necessaryIt was a fair competition back then
Can't really say who is right or who is wrong
Head MasterWhy did you fight with each other
Just for the fame of being number one
The Old Commander was hoping to boost the morale of the troops by doing that
Unexpectedly it caused the dispute and harm among the brothers
It just went contrary to his wishes
Brother DaiI've been cleaning the yard for others for more than thirty years
Just hope that before I die
I can fight with you for one more time
Please fulfill my wishes, Brother Dai
Why would you do that
If you would like to exchange the Kungfu skills with me
You can come to Taigu at anytime
It's because I didn't have the confidence to beat you at that time
So you are confident now
Hard to sayBut the Heavenly Lord let me meet you again
This is destinyYou can't go against the destiny
All right
Lord XiaBoth you and my Head Master are getting old now
and are fit for Kungfu fight anymoreHow about...
Young fellowThis is the personal grudges between me and your Head Master
It has nothing to do with you younger generationMoreover
He is Dai Haichen whose fame is known far and wide
You don't need to worry about him
Lord Xia
Please
The Master rarely comes to Beijing
And now this is happening
It's really not his lucky time
How come these fist-fight moves look so soft
That is how the masters do
Who do you think will win
It's hard to sayMaster Dai is steady
Lord Xia is ferociousWin or lose, there's only a thin line between them
- What you said didn't really answer my question- As I can see
- Master Dai will win- How did you make that judgement
What do you mean how I made that judgement
Just the feelingWhen the masters exchange handsIt all depends on the feel of it
How about thisLet's make a bet
- Lead Escort MasterMaster Dai will be fine, right- Head Master will win
- That's not right- What's wrong
Head Master will win for sureWhy is he so impatient
What did I say
Master Dai is winning
Head Master
This move It seems I have seen it in the dream
Brother Xia's Kungfu has progressed to such an advanced level
I lost
Head MasterAre you all right
I'm fineI still can take a blow like that
Dai HaichenDid you let me win deliberately
I was too eager to winJust too careless
The move you made was like coming back out of the predicament
Terrific move
Lord XiaAll the contests intended are finished
You may leave now
You waited for thirty years
I think you should be satisfied with this results
Escort Master LiuMr Yan asked me to contact you
Please come to my place to get the goods tomorrow
Head MasterI'm fine I'm fine
Head MasterXia Qizun is actually no match for you
You lost to him intentionally, aren't you
You figured it out
Why did you do that
What does it matter if I won
But it's not necessary to take that blow from him
I just can't be too harsh to him
Head MasterHow is itOver here Sit down
Don't let anyone knowI'll be all right after resting for a few days
Surprising to meXia Qizun's outright force
has advanced to such level
Head Master
What happened today remind me of a lot about the past
If it wasn't for the fight on the catchy tilte of who was number one
There wouldn't be what happened today
Thirty yearsHow many thirty years one would have in his life
I've been well known in the underworld all my life
But what has it brought
Numerous disputesEndless resentment
Thinking about it nowIt's probably better not to be so famous
It's all catchy title
YeahThe catchy title will mislead people
Misleading
Lord Qi
Miss Zhao
Don't close the door yet
Who else is not back yet
I'll wait for E'erhe hereHe's not back yet
Lord QiPlease go ahead to restI'll be the doorkeeper now
That's quite not right
It's OKGo ahead to sleep now
- Sorry to have you do that- No problem
When we went to Zhangjiakou this timeMiss Lu was also on the train
We ran into the bandits and she saved me
MotherI have to be honest with you
She likes meI like her too
I knowI know we should not be together
But so many things have happened
I can't pretend that I didn't see it
It's all about destinyA girl saved you twice by risking her own life
She can treat you like thisAs your mother, what else can I say
You decide what you want to do
I've decidedWhen I pass by the Blindman's Ridge on this upcoming escort
I'll go to see her father with the marriage proposal
But have you thought aboutwhat to do next
I didNo matter what the consequences are
I will accept
Since you've made the decision
I'm not gonna hold you back
Only that you'd better not to tell your Head Master now
He just got injured
He will certainly be mad if he hears about this
I knowI'll find the opportunity to explain to him
AnshunAs long as you have a clear conscience
You can still be a man of dignity
♫ I'm getting to the intersection of the streets ♫
Waiting at a different place
♫ I'm getting ♫
Head MasterIt's so early Why don't you rest in the room
It's beneficial to come out and have some exercise
Aren't you going to take on the escorts
It can be postponed for a couple of days
I want to spend some more time with you, Head Master
How could that be
Whenever the escort is scheduledIt should get on the road on time
Don't worry about me
I've been so dominating all my life
Would I fall apart just because of that one blow
Master is right
I think Master is quite healthy and strong
Forget about that one blowEven if he stands there taking more hits
He's still be as strong as the dragon and tiger
I like to hear this
Say hello to Xia Qizun when you see him
Tell him I'm totally convinced with the loss
- Head Master- You don't understand
The feeling of guilt is gone with this blow
I feel much at ease now
I understand
Just go ahead with no worries
MasterWith the breadth of your mind
Xia Qizun is really no comparison to you
Nice try
Don't be like him
Don't worry, Head Master
Escort Master Li
Ask everybody to put these stickers on
Hey FolksPlease hurry up
Check the list of inventorySee whether there's any problem
All hurry up
Put it on Put it on
- Lord Tong- Escort Master
You go ahead
You are the managerYou don't need to go on this escort trip
Please stay home and take care of the business here
OKBut after you leave
We need to hire some more people
RememberDon't accept the escorts for the unfamiliar routes
We in the escort business must follow the rules
Do what we should do
Also don't take advantage of the vulnerability of othersNo price gouging, understand
I know it allDon't worry
I'm not make my living by swindling and deceiving any longer
It's said a prodigal who returns is more precious
I can feel at ease with what you said
Take good care of things here
OK Let's go
Over hereYes yes yes
One by oneOne by oneYes
Lord XiaThank you for taking care of Miss Lu
Lead Escort MasterI was too rude yesterday
I apologize to you
Is your Head Master all right
Head Master is fineHe also asked me to say hello to you
He said the grudge for thirty years is now resolved
He feels really happy
Dai Haichen is Dai Haichen
I'm no comparison to him
Lord XiaI'm of the younger generationTo say something that I probably should not say
Since my Head Master has let it go
I think you should let it go too
Yeah You are right
It's the time to let it go
Be careful
Handle it with care
Why don't you go out
So many people out there
How is that possible that you are shy
What do you mean
So you think I have a thick skin
Not at allWhy did you call me
I...
I'm really afraid
What are you afraid of
I'm afraid of your mother my fatherand your Head Master
I'm afraid of those people out there
I'm afraid they don't want me to be with you
I'm afraid everything is just unreal
What are you looking at
I need to look closely
You are still that fearless Lu Yaoting before
You...
Don't be afraidI am here
That's just what I want to hear
I've told my mother
What did she say
I knowShe despises me being a bandit
She asked me to take good care of you
- Really- Don't you believe me
