The Great Protector Episode 4
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team in Viki
Chief Guo, rest in peace.
Head Master, as your disciple, I lost the escorted goods. I'm willing to accept your punishments of any kind.
It was not your fault. It was me who asked you to escort the fakes.
I've asked Escort Master Wei to escort the silver ingot and bullion to the Capital.
Losing the fake goods is not considered a real loss.
I accepted the goods and got robbed while it's under my control. I lost it.
The Escort Service doesn't ask what the goods are. Even if they are only rocks, I still lost the escorted goods.
Brother Shun, Head Master has said it was not your fault. Get up, please.
You are resenting on my decision to let you escort the fake good, aren't you?
As your disciple I dare not.
Return to Taigu
- Father - Head Master
Why don't you ever listen to other people?
It's not that I don't trust you. I'm just afraid there'll be gossips and rumors on this
and the reputation of our Escort Service will be tarnished.
This photo of shame will be hung in the middle of the Shrine forever.
Head Master, you mapped out the plan to wipe out the bandits.
That is an undeniable accomplishment. Why do you want to hang a photo of shame?
Yeah, the reputation of the Escort Service is compromised. So whoever responsible should take the blame.
Why would you hold yourself responsible, Head Master?
Head Master, I've been in charge of the Escort Service recently.
I didn't handle it well and should take the full responsibility.
Then you tell me, what did you do wrong?
My inability of compromise and flexibility resulted in Master Ma's death.
Defeated in the Kungfu contest was a shame to the Escort Masters.
And losing the escorted goods caused damage to the reputation of the Escort Service.
There's always a stronger man even among the strongest.
As a person practicing Kungfu, how can he guarantee that he will never lose
Losing once in a while is not considered your fault..
I have just said
Losing the escorted goods in part of my plan and it was not your fault.
As in regard to Ma Kui,
I know you all have quite a lot criticism on how it was handled.
Then you all tell me
- What did Liu Anshun do wrong? -Head Master, Escort Master Ma had been in the business all his life.
Seeing his life and career ended in that way, everybody feels there is injustice
Yeah, not quite justified.
Even though he smuggled some furs, he was dead already.
It would be reasonable and make sense to consider that he died on line of duty.
Reason and sense? What is the reason and sense, really?
You went a little bit too far this time.
What's wrong?
You've recovered long time ago and are still pretending to be injured.
I know. You're having an interest on that lady.
But don't think to much of it as your backgrounds and upbringings are so different.
You think it's like the Emperor Zhengde meeting Lady Li Fengjie?
Let me tell you, this is the hellcat Sun Erniang.
What you are talking about? You are thinking too much.
I'm just trying to be courteous to the ordinary people.
The government has always said people of the Man and Han ethnicity are of one family.
I think the lady boss is pretty nice. Very considerate.
Considerate?
She is thinking about Your Royal Highness' Residence in the Capital.
Look at you, refused to accept the silver ingot offered to you.
Now we don't even have the money to spend on the road.
I tell, you have to listen to me in awhile. We have to find a way to get some money.
How shameful. I'm not doing that.
Shameful?
Yo! Let's sort all these out.
Camping or Lodging, we've braved the elements along the way
And that horse, just think how much you've used my money.
But, you...
Just go on... keep bragging
Forget about the unbeatable Kungfu phenom
At the end of the day, you can't even beat a young lady?
That...she was exercising witchcraft.
Your Royal Highness Your Royal Highness
You're already up. why do you lay down again?
His Royal Highness is waiting for you to drum your fists lightly on his back.
It's OK to drum on your back. But first we need to talk about the bill.
Well, another debt collector.
The tougher the situation,
the more we need to stick to our basic principles.
What are our basic principles? The rules and customs are our basic principles.
Without the rules and customs, the escort business would not exist.
Some people said that I promoted Liu Anshun
because he is my disciple.
Some even said it was because he's my future son-in-law.
All narrow-minded and unjustified speculations. The reason I entrusted Anshun
is because of his unwavering fairness.
He wouldn't even make a concession to me.
He is lack a little flexibility in handling things.
But this kind of persistence is just what we need to safeguard our escort business.
It will benefit you all in the future.
Wang Dayou, anything else to say?
No.
I have something to say
Master Dai, please do us window and orphans some justice
Sister-in-law, Head Master just said the Lead Escort Master was right because he was protecting the rules of the escort business
Please go home.
I'm not coming to talk about the feelings today I'm talking about the justifications.
Master Dai, you believe in justice, right?
I'm listening
I want to ask the Lead Escort Master
Master Ma killed himself because he was expelled from the Escort Service
Why was he expelled from the Escort Service?
Anshun
Because Escort Master Ma changed the escort route without approval and carried the smuggled goods
That led to the robbery of the escorted goods and he broke the rules of escort business.
How about breaking the rules of escort business?
Lead Escort Master, maybe you have a poor memory.
Your escorted carts were also just got robbed, isn't it?
How come you've forgotten?
Sister-in-law, we've taken all the goods back
Also the goods lost were all fake.
The goods were taken back by Master Dai.
I don't know what is real, what is fake.
All I know is that, as the Lead Escort Master
Liu Anshun didn't go his job and lost the escorted goods.
Master Ma lost the escorted goods and was expelled from the Escort Service.
What about when the Lead Escort Master lost the goods?
My child is still sick at home
I have to go back to prepare the medicines
I believe in you. You'll treat it with fairness and justice.
You've all heard what Mrs Ma said.
Do you have anything else to say?
Head Master, since Lead Escort Master knows all the rules
We just want to hear what he wants to say
Didn't you once promise to grant me a house in the Capital?
Isn't it true?
Of course it is true. My Residence in Beijing is yours now.
Forget about your Residence A small house will be just fine.
I'm the Royal Highness, not a corrupted official.
I don't own a lot of real estate. Only a Royal Highness' Residence.
How come Your Royal Highness is so shabby.
You are so snobbish talking like that.
It's not shabby, it's called aloof.
Take this.
It's the key to the front door of my Residence in Beijing.
Don't you have servants at home? Your Royal Highness brings the key with you when are away from home?
Servants? Sure, used to have over a hundred
But all dismissed now
Oh, have you ever read the book Dream of Red Chamber?
I'm just like Jia Baoyu, the leading character in the book.
Looking forward to the life of ordinary people
Don't like to be looked after by the servants
I don't want the Royal Highness' Residence
Just need a place to stay in the Capital
A place I can live for a while
Wait Are you really going to the Capital?
Of course. I've already sold this tavern.
I'll go with you tomorrow
Oh no no You will go with me tomorrow
Head Master, I have no excuse for what happened to our Escort Service.
Even if I can face the peers of the escort business I can't face the world beyond
I can shy away from Mrs. Ma, but I can't evade from all these rules. As for the position of Lead Escort Master,
I'm afraid I can't continue to hold it anymore.
Forgive my offense, Head Master, here I render my resignation. Please grant your acceptance.
Didn't you hear what I just said?
I heard everything. I did lose in the Kungfu contest.
And indeed I lost the escorted goods. No excuses.
If it were someone else, I wouldn't have allowed him to be the Lead Escort Master either.
Then do you plan to impose sanction on yourself?
I'll resign from the position of Lead Escort Master and leave Taigu
Start overall again as an entry level escort master
Where would you go after leaving Taigu?
I plan to go to the Escort Service in Beijing
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team in Viki
Brother Shun, stop all these nonsense.
The Escort Service goes where the Money Services are. Shanxi merchants' business are all in the South.
The Money Services in Beijing just provide the deposit service to the Imperial Clan.
There aren't much escort business.
Brother Shun, have you really thought it through?
Yes, I have. Now I don't have anything anyway.
Good. You have the courage and integrity.
You should know you're going to Beijing because of the sanction.
Since it's a sanction, it means you're at fault.
According to the rules of the escort business, a Black Bag should be hung for you.
I've thought it through, Head Master
Brother Shun, to exchange the Black Bag for a White Bag,
You would have to establish a new escort route. Have you really thought it through?
Take out Liu Anshun's Apprentice Manifesto
from underneath the memorial tablet of the Patron Deity.
Hang the Black Bag.
Putting his Apprentice Manifesto in the Black Bag and hanging it up on the beam
This makes the person tabooed as a sinner and could only survive at the bottom of the business
He would have to kowtow to everyone when meeting the fellow escort masters.
After he kowtows to everyone
Elder Martial Brother would never be able to reclaim his reputation
Would he ever be able to be a Lead Escort Master again?
Father, I and elder Martial Brother are already engaged.
The way you humiliate him is just like humiliating your own daughter.
Please don't be mad, Head Master
Xiping, step back
Rongrong, hand me the Black Bag
No, I won't
Hand it to me
Elder Martial Brother, for those so-called rules
For the escort business, you are willing to go so far away to the Capital
But you would not stay by my side and protect me?
I've made the decision. No one can change it.
You've really thought it through
Hand it to me
Tianjin
Missy, this way
Lord Jiu, I'm back
Guess you just return from the party at Huixian House
- Miss Wan'er - She is not Wan'er
-Nine of Characters -You're rude
You're the rude one Why don't you say anything when Lord Nine played the wrong tile?
Then tell me how I should play?
It'll be on me if you lose.
How dare you say that?
Lord, she is new and doesn't quite know the customs
How about...
Since you are so confident, just take my place
Please take a seat, Lord Jiu
Seven of Characters
What is your name, Missy?
I'm new here Dont' have a nickname yet Just call me Fei'er
Fei...meaning elegant lady?
What lady? It means bandit
Meaning bandit? Good name. I like it
Eight of Characters
Bingo! Single match of the Eight of Characters
Money, give me the money
Give the money, give the money
-Yo, I would say the Missy is pretty smart
That's because your trick is not sharp Give me the money
Miss Fei'er is really a good player
- Just lucky - One of Bars - One of Characters
Bingo! Sorry I win again
- So amazing! - Let's play more
Money, give me the money
Here it is
The winning tile! Got it by myself Yo! Got it yourself, yourself
Money...give me the money Money
Come on, money…money…money Haha, let's play more
Lord Jiu, I have something else to take care of and have to leave now
Oh, please don't. We only played a few rounds and haven't fully enjoyed it yet.
Another time. Another time.
Missy You look quite unfamiliar
Just wonder which House do you belong to?
Whenever I have time later on, I'd love to pay a visit to your House and meet you in person. What do you think?
Lord, are you trying to get it back because you've lost today?
That's not something done by a real man.
I will see you later
Good-bye
Let's see how much we've won
Lord, Besides covering what we lost earlier, we've won 1,200 ounces of silver ingot.
Miss Fei'er It's hard to believe.
Where did you learn all these?
I learned from my father
A family tradition With all my respect
Lord Jiu, the money drafts are ready
Miss Fei'er won all these money for me I'm really happy
This is the money draft for 600 ounces of silver ingot
No worry
I just saw that these guys were joining hands to cheat on you
It's no big deal to me. I was just helping while seeing some injustice
Look Look Miss Fei'er values the justice against money
and is like a swordswoman,
Have you had enough here? How about we move to another place?
I haven't eaten yet.
Haven't eaten? That's not right
No matter what you like, even if you want to eat the Moon today
I will get it for you.
Really?
Don't you say that. I do know a place
They have a dish called Moon Stir Fry, very tasty.
Miss Fe'er, is there really a place offering Moon Stir Fry?
But it's a little far
As long as you want it, it doesn't matter how far it is.
That's what you said
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team in Viki
Aunt,
It was all becasue of my father is bad-tempered
He was on elder Martial Brother's side at the beginning
Now you have to go to the Capital with elder Martial Brother this time.
When Anshun's father was alive, I was where he was
Now his father is gone, of course I'll be with Anshun wherever he goes
This is the fate of a woman
It's good that I can be with Anshun
For sure I'll find a way to let you and Anshun return with honor and in style.
Trees die when moved, people thrive when moved.
Any place could be hometown as long as we're happy.
What am I saying? Of course we'll be back
Anshun will come back to marry you, right?
Water is boiling. It's ready to cook the first batch of dumplings.
Dear Kitchen God, The mean spirits of the villains have been wrapped into the dumplings
Please bless Brother Anshun and let him return safe and sound
Let him return early, dear Kitchen God. Blessing blessing
Come on, let's cook the dumplings. Water is boiling. Let's cook
Aunt, aunt!
What happened?
The dumpling wrappers are all broken and can't keep the mean spirits inside.
Elder Martial Brother, please don't go to the Capital
Everything is all on myself It's not decided by a pot of dumplings
I'll definitely do to the Capital
The dumpling wrapper can't keep the mean spirits inside But it's OK because my mouth can
It's all wrapped in, isn't it? The chive fillings taste even better with the soup.
Have a taste yourself
Anshun is right. Let me have a bowl of dumpling too.
Delicious
Elder Martial Brother, no matter what you say,
I still feel anxious in my heart.
Rongrong, living with the Head Master, you've been eaten at the Canteen year around
and haven't really cooked by yourself before. Look, you can't even make a perfect dumpling.
So bad at household chores, no wonder you feel anxious.
How could you make fun of me?
What's wrong with Xiping?
Anyhow you two have been like brothers. Now you're about to leave, how come he doesn't even stop by to say good-bye
It's not like that. He didn't come because he didn't want to embarrass me
OK, let's not...not to talk about this anymore. Help me to eat the mean spirits of villains.
OK? Let's eat
Eat the mean spirits of villains.
Eat it even if it's broken.
Eat. Eat the mean spirits Eat them all
OK, Rongrong Let's eat them together. OK
-Here you go -Ah...
-Does it taste good? - Yep
Xiping
Aunt
I know you will come
Enjoy the dumpling
All the dishes look delicate and delicious. Which one is the Moon Stir Fry?
Just be patient. The main dishes are not served yet.
How about this. Let's first drink a cup of wine named Moon Gazer
I don't want to gaze the Moon now. I just want to...
What's wrong?
What's that stuff down below? So hard.
Makes me uncomfortable
You're so naughty
This is a revolver, something that can kill people
You liar
I'm not lying. Don't point it to people. If you pull the trigger, my head will explode.
Really? That sounds so interesting.
Let me try
No no no. Let's try something else. Let's do something different,OK?
- No - Say yes, please - Missy, is it OK to serve the main dish now?
Yes, serve the main dish now. Serve the Moon Stir Fry Is it OK?
Is that what you said? . Good.
Miss Fei'er, let'd have the main dish, OK?
You are my main dish.
Oh, I'm the main dish? Am I the Moon Stir Fry?
I just said I wanted to eat the Moon Stir Fry
And you are the one. You are that Moon
OK, I'm your Moon, all right?
- I am not kidding with you. - Don't be naughty Hey, what are you doing?
- Enjoy the dish - You are the bandits! - Hahahaha
I told you long ago I'm Fei'er, meaning the bandit. You just didn't listen carefully.
- Cai Wu! Li Fu! - Shhhh...
Stop yelling. They are drunk and asleep
Fei'er, Oh no, Miss Swordswoman What, what do you want to do?
I'm the bandit. Of course I want the money. What else it could be?
Oh, want money. Good. I'll give you all my money
Please don't hurt me , OK?
You look pretty honest.
Really just can't bring myself to kill you.
Yes, I'm honest. I've been very honest since I was a kid. Please don't kill me.
- Luck you, I have a soft heart. OK, I'll keep your body intact. - Ah ah ah...
This useless thing. Could have been dead out of fear
Who is it?
A cat?
Dare to come and go freely right in front of me. These folks are quite sophiscated
Deputy Chief, the letter of challenge is left here
Are we going?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team in Viki
This is nteresting
It's too dangerous to go
Right because it's dangerous, we must go
He dares to challenge us. If we were intimidated and not to go after him
How would we be able to keep our places in the underworld in the future.
Let's go
The night before I left Tiagu,
I knelt in the Head Master's courtyard for the whole night
The Head Master didn't see me
I know he felt worse in his heart than I did
Anshun, hurry up and let's go Let's go
Hurry
Mother
Sorry about my violation of filial piety
Anshun, I have never been away from Taigu in my life
The Capital city is a nice place.
I'm going there with you to enjoy life
There'll be a lot of eye-openers for me.
Get up. Just get up
Wherever the son goes, the mother will follow.
Let's go Let's go
Liu Anshun, come out. Liu Anshun, come out
Mother, they don't want to let me go
Liu Anshun, come out. Liu Anshun, come out
What are you doing?
Miss Dai, we are here to say good-bye to the ex-Lead Escort Master
To show our respect, nothing wrong with that, right?
Do you think I don't know what you have in mind
Missy, even if Head Master is here I am still gonna say this
The rules of the escort business were set by the Patron Deity.
If Liu Anshun doesn't kowtow,
don't even think about leaving Taigu today
You...
Liu Anshun, come out
Liu Anshun, come out. Liu Anshun, come out
Everybody, please don't embarrass Brother Shun anymore
I'll kowtow on his behalf
Xiping
This is what I owe to everybody. I'll kowtow myself
Brother Shun, once you kowtow to everyone you're losing all the honor and dignity in front of the peers in the escort business
The honor and dignity are earned by myself Can't expect the help from anyone
Bothers, please accept my salute
Wait
Is there anything you want to say?
I, your Royal Highness, have to come out to help while seeing injustice
This is an internal affair of the escort business and has nothing to do with a stranger
Darn it! what's happening in the world is everybody's business
Let alone I'm your Royal Highness
You're forcing him to kneel down
This is called breaking the hierarchy. It's against the law and is a felony
Liu Anshun, are you going to follow the rules or not?
Heck with the rules
Liu Anshun, you just stand right here
I want to see who would dare to ask you to kneel down
His Royal Highness is really mad
This is an internal affair of us escort business Please don't meddle with it
Liu Anshun, I'm trying to help you
Thanks. But no, thanks. Black Bag disciple Liu Anshun meeting Escort Master Wang
Brother Shun
Black Bag disciple Liu Anshun meeting Escort Master Chen
Black Bag disciple Liu Anshun meeting Escort Master Li
Black Bag disciple Liu Anshun meeting Escort Master Zhao
- Black Bag disciple Liu Anshun meeting Escort Master Zhou - So silly
Your Royal Highness, please get back on the carriage
Black Bag disciple Liu Anshun meeting Escort Master Zheng
Rules are bigger than honor reputation This is what Head Master told me
on the first day I became his disciple
Hold on to the rules, you can hold on to the baseline of being a man
I'm a stubborn man At that moment,
after kowtowing to everyone, I suddenly felt so relieved
Brother Shun, I'm useless
Brother, you don't need to say anything anymore
It's all in my heart.
Brother!
Xiping, it's OK
Come on
I started to take on the escort trip when I was 15
On the road, by th boat, over the prairies, through the desert
mountains, turbulent rapids I've exeprienced them all
But nothings has been like this time The journey just seems to be so long
Perhaps because I know deep in my heart
Just don't know when we will be able to come back.
Just don't know when I can see Rongrong again
Lead Escort Master It could be quite lonely on the road Let's travel together
In case we run into the bandits on the way
Everything will be fine with His Royal Highness' and mine presence
You actually want the Lead Escort Master to take care of you guys, don't you?
The Lead Escort Master is in the escort business The bandits will try to stay away from him
Let's take care of each other, each other
Liu Anshun, even though you lost to me, you don't need to feel so depressed.
Victory or defeat are all too common in the battlefield
Only failure will let you know there is always someone stronger even among the strongest
Optimistically speaking,
Failure will open your eyes in life
Your Royal Highness, you're so knowledgeable
Your Royal Highness' memory is quite good
You've remembered every word I said before
The principles and reasoning are all the same, no matter who says it.
OK, OK. You two stop bothering the Lead Escort Master
Lead Escort Master, your horse goes faster Feel free to go ahead if you have something to take care of No need to wait for us
Where are the shots coming from?
Guess Miss Dai has been following all along
Elder Martial Sister, it's getting late Please go home
It won't be long before Brother Anshun returns
When he returns, it should be time for your wedding.
