The Great Protector Episode 8
Beile That's how the gun should be used
You...You...You've gone too far
You...I...You've gone too far
Teach me How... How should I use it
Follow me
Tell me about the rules of the escort business
Elder Sister He's hired by me
I'll return him to you later
Excuse me
Look at you A man should look like a man Get up
Yes
Missy, Missy Where are you going
Just walk around
Lead Escort Master has said You can't go out while he's not here
I'm not someone of your Escort Service It's none of his business
The Lead Escort Master is worried about your safety
The police is watching out there
Don't worry I'll be responsible for myself if anything happens
I won't blame any of you
Hey Missy Will you be back for lunch
No I won't
I've had everything ready and cooked the Braised Intestine in Brown Sauce especially for you
You two Please enjoy it yourselves
It wasn't easy for me to get the intestine I got up really early today
- Let's have a drink - OK
Take a seat
I'll stand
If you're standing I would have to look up while talking to you
Wouldn't it be unequal between us then
You are right
Why do you stand up again
You're the Gege (Princess) and also my employer
I think that would be too casual
- I don't mind - But it matters to me
You asked me to tell you about the rules of the escort business
This is the rule
You can leave now Don't want to talk to you anymore
Dare to follow up Such a fool. Just asking for punches
Come back here Don't beat them to death
Let's go
You two are quite clever
Missy You've been watched over by the police
Now they haven't been able to find us yet
Should we go back home as soon as possible
What going back I haven't had enough fun yet It'll be such a loss
You may not have as much fun But we'll be safer back home, aren't we
- Exactly
It's shameful to call you bandits How can you say this, just like a coward
Missy That man Liu Anshun Is he trustworthy
Liu Anshun Besides being a little bit annoying
he is a pretty decent man
It's really hard to hear some words of compliment from Missy
Is this a compliment
Do I usually talk in a sarcastic way
Can't talk with you guys anymore
Tell me Whare have you been in the last few days
The...the places where only man should go
What places for man Tell me
Big Eight Hutong brothels
I want to go too
But you...
Gouzi, run
Who fired the shot
Nobody fired the shot
- Who are you - We're the police
We're hunting down a suspect
Did you just fired shot
- Don't move - It's firecracker Not gun, not gun
Leaving now
Don't let me see you again
Yes, sir Good-bye
The way of treating a guest Am I doing it right
Yes
- Now follow me -I'm guarding your residence now
What guarding the residence My residence is very safe
I didn't hire you to guard my residence I need an escort
- Escort - Escort for me
Go with me
- Ciu'er, did Lord Zhang leave - Yes, just left
Come over Let me give you a kiss
Xiao Ciu
Gambling and prurience are the root cause of troubles
So while on the road the Escort Masters are not supposed to go into the gambling house and the brothel
First of all, it is for the safety
But it's also for the reputation Escorting the employer to the gambling house or solicit prostitution
are considered a disgrace by the peers
How come you are still sitting here
Your responsibility is while we're on the road
Don't just sit here while I'm busy inside
You know, you are just too honest
But I like it Take this and go get some drink with the girls
But you need to come back in a couple of hours
Beile You never told me that you were coming to this kind of place
What's wrong with this kind of place Dispise the hookers
No. There're rules for the escort masters
We can't get in the brothels
What kind of shitty rule is that
Just remember You should learn to be flexible
in order to be happy in your life
This is really nothing Take it I'm going now
Sister Er, you've had a long day Go to bed early
Lord, haven't seen you for a long time
I have got everything ready for you here Come on, this way please
Buddy, don't you remember me
You opened fire at me once before
You got the wrong person
All right. Maybe I took you for someone else Are you the bodyguard
You are a bodyguard I'm a bodyguard too
Do you see
This knife is also registered with the authority
Beauty of Spring
Is that the name of your Escort Service
How about it Elegant, isn't it It's not like your names
such as Guangshun, Weiyuan, Qingyuan
There must be some wisdom reflected in the names
Just a name Does it really need so much wisdom
Of course This is something you don't quite understand
It needs a lot of wisdom to pick a name
To make a living in Beijing you would need to know a lot of things
Buddy You look like a good person
We are destined to meet
Shall we find a place and have a chat
No thanks Please go ahead yourself
Let's go Let's go
I don't really want to go Let's find a place to chat
Let's go Please sit down
Lord, keep on drinking OK let's drink
A little noisy But here's a piece of silence in the chaos
Moreover, we didn't ask for the girls
It's already nice of them to let us sit here What do you think
The escort masters...
It's really noisy I can hardly hear anything
Folks next door Can you be quite
Don't you believe I'll hack you all with my knife if you keep on making so much noise
Did you hear
More or less I have some influence on people here in Beijing
Who the hell is talking about hacking us
Isn't this Master Chang
Please excuse me that I didn't recognize you Sorry about that. Sorry
Escort Master Liu Yo, isn't this Escort Master Liu
- Ha, Escort Liu also came here - Yeah
Escort Master Liu Do you know who he is
An escort master
Escort master Escort master, hahaha
Yes, he is an escort master
The one particularly for the hookers
When the hookers go out to do their business They are worried about the safety when come back late at night
They would hire the rogues as the escort for their trips
Lord Wa What's the name of your Escort Service
It's called...Streetwalker Escort Service
Streetwalker Escort Service Hahahaha
What a shame Hahaha
Liu Anshun How could you hang around with people like that
Does your Escort Service also do this kind of business
I'm escorting my employer here
He escorts the hookers You escort the client
What else could it be if it's not the Streetwalker's escort service
- You are right - Exactly - Hahahaha
Liu Anshun
You really brings disgrace to us escort masters
Brothers
Let's find another place This room is too filthy for me to stay
OK Let's go Brothers
Let's have some more fun out there
These people What the hell do they think they are
Come on Let's eat...eat
Escort Master Liu
Liu Anshun thought Brother Du recommended a good job to him
In the end it is to escort the Beile to the brothels
Looks like Liu Anshun is not gonna able to make it in Beijing this time
He won't be able to make it any more Absolutely not
No no no, he should
He has to make it even if he's so ashamed becasue he can't revoke the employment with the Beile
If he revokes the letter of employment unilaterally
His Royal Highness will certainly shut down his Escort Service
You're right Liu Anshun is gonna have a hell of life, isn't he
Really smart move by Brother Du
- Smart - Smart smart
He also likes this after all
Oh my Gosh
I'll take you to the Zuixing House for some late night snacks
Follow me
Enemies often cross the path with each other
Today is really a lucky day
Liu Anshun Liu Anshun
Beile Liu Anshun has left already
- Left already - Yeah
Damn it Now who will escort me to have the late night snacks if he has left already
Please don't be mad, Beilie
Do you want to go having some late night snacks We will have the escort for you
Surprisingly even the brothel is hiring the escort masters now
Yeah
Beile Here I am the Number One Swordsman in Beijing called Lord Wa by people
Greetings to Beile
Stand up What Sword
Number One Swordsman
Really?
Beile Have you ever heard of Wang Wu, the Swordsman
Are you talking about the one involved in the political reform with Tan Sitong
He's my junior martial brother
Wang Wu the Swordsman is your junior martial brother
That's right You must have outstanding Kungfu skills too
- Beile, are we still going - Yeah, are we going, Beile
Of course. How can we not go Let's go. There'll be a reward if you escort me there safely
OK. Let's go You can count on me, Beile
Liu Anshun You took this dirty job
It's such a disgrace to my Master and fellow disciples
So shameful
Brother Don't blame me on not warning you
You can't change your mind if you decide to accept
His Royal Highness' residence is not a place
where you can come and go at will
Idiot
You really brings disgrace to us escort masters
♫Slowly the rainy fog disappears Looking at the sun shining again ♫
♫Wandering the dusty ground in the light The warmth is missing for a long time♫
You are willing to go so far away to Beijing
for the escort business,
But you would not stay by my side and protect me?
♫ My heart was full once upon a time ♫
♫ Now it's broken apart with half left ♫
♫ The love I once pursued Is now lost in regrets ♫
♫Coming along the way rain or shine ♫
♫Slowly I understand at the end ♫
♫No matter how hard you try how brave you are ♫
♫I can't plan our futures for each other ♫
♫ The more I want to do The more harm I'll get ♫
- Buddy, slow down It's too bumpy to the Beile - I'm running very smoothly
Lord Wa You just need to run a little faster
When I was practicing Kungfu in town
You didn't even exist at all
You'd better save your breath
Beile, Beile, are you OK
How can I be OK Who did this
OK Don't move. You all don't move It's OK. I'm here
My friends
No matter whether you're for robbery or revenge today
You've miscalculated the situation
Why Because you run into me, Lord Wa
This man is so disgusting
How come you look so familiar to me Did we meet somewhere before
Yes we did
You...aren't you the Number One Swordsman in Beijing
I am the Number One Swordsman in Beijing But these sons of bitch are using their legs
Damn
It's me
- It doesn't look good Let's get out of here - Let's go
Come back
Liu Anshun Where have you been
Li Xiping, Lead Escort Master of Guangshun Escort Services headquarter in Taigu
It means he is the replacement for Liu Anshun
I heard Li Xiping and Liu Anshun are very close and can entrust each other with their lives
Whenever there's trouble He'll step up to be Liu Anshun's partner
How many gifts does he bring
Two big wooden trunks Looks pretty heavy
Don't know what's inside
Then they must have come to plead for Liu Anshun
Are you gonna see him
Liu Anshun is like a drowning dog
Li Xiping is the Lead Escort Master of the Escort Service with branches in nine provinces
You tell me whether I should see him or not
Lead Escort Master Li Please excuse me
I should have come out to meet you if I knew you're here
Head Master Du, you are my senior
Please accept the salute from me
You are too flattering Please
Please
What kind of gun is this
- This is Kuaili Rifle - Good name
Glad I get to see something new today
- Jia Si, take Escort Master Li's associates out to rest - OK
Lead Escort Master, please
For the interactions between escort services
A letter of introduction should be enough
A bottle of wine and a fish would be more than enough
You don't need to bring twenty guns
Twenty guns It is the worth of an entire escort service
Lead Escort Master I can't accept your gift because it is of too much value
Brother Du Please don't decline right away
When someone gives you a gift there must be a request in return I have a favor to ask you
Something worth twenty guns It can't be trivial
Nothing really difficult It's something you are doing right now
My martial brother just came to Beijing
He's not familiar with the people and things here
I'd like to thank Brother Du for all your help
No problem We are all in the same business
It's what we should do to help each other
My Head Master sent my martial brother here in order to learn more from the peers in Beijing
But there've been some rumors out there recently
Brother Du Please don't take it seriously
No worries Dai Haichen Master Dai
is someone I admire and well respected by many people
I heard there have been some misunderstandings between my martial brother and the authority
He is somewhat too honest and straightforward and not good at dealing with the authorities
So I'd ask Brother Du to kindly help him
in handling the situations
In regard to this
As long as it's within my capability I will certainly do my best to help
But my brother Your gifts are really...
- Du Zaishan - What's up
Brother Du His Royal Highness Zhuang's Chief Steward Mr Cui is here
All right
Liu Anshun's trouble is here again
Brother Please have a rest in the side room Let me take care this for him
- Thank you - Please
- This way please - OK
Chief Steward What brings you here in person
Wouldn't be OK to just send a message
Du Zishan You really screwed me up
What's up
It's OK if you don't want to be the guard for his Royal Highness' residence
But why did you recommend a maniac to me
How come you said that
Doesn't he look pretty decent
Decent He didn't kowtow to the Beile when they met
He only made a bow with hands folded
and even asked the Beile to return a salute You tell me What is that
He accompanied the Beile to Chunxing House the other day
You know what happened? He ran away himself
As the result, the Beile ran into the bandits
Is the Beile OK
OK? Would you still be able to stand here if he's not OK
Please go on Then what happened
Then, he came back and saved the Beile
It's a good thing, isn't it
Maybe it's a good thing The Beile has thought quite highly of him since then
and said to double the pay for him
He came to work early this morning but somehow suddenly got ill before noon
The doctor checked on him It's malaria
It would be disastrous if his Royal Highness gets infected
I can't keep him anymore
Is he still at his Royal Highness' residence
How would I dare to keep him
You are the grantor Please press your fingerprint on this as a testimony
I'll dismiss him a little later
Did he agree
His fingerprint is already on this
Talking about this This guy is quite reasonable Would you please
Master Du, are you...
I'm fine I'm fine OK, let me do it now
Take a look Is it OK
It's OK Are you OK
See you later Good-bye
- Head Escort Master Please don't come too close - It's OK
- I'll just take a look - It'll be terrible if you get infected
Ma'am Don't worry I came especifically to treat Brother Anshun's illness
Head Master You can treat his illness
Maybe not for others But for Anshun's illness I certainly can
Ma'am, please go mind your business No problem. Please don't worry
Go ahead with what you're doing
There's a kind of poison used by the escort business
The toxin is extracted from the venom of the wild bees in remote mountains
In order to collect the venom You need to wear the leather outfit, poke the beehive
and provoke the bees to sting on yourself
Then squeeze the venom out of the leather outfit afterwards
The venom is not strong enough to kill you But it can quickly make people partially paralyzed
And it's just right for handling the bandits
However it's very difficult to extract this kind of toxin
So it hasn't been used often since the earlier generation in the escort business
I was stung by the bees before The symptom looks similar to malaria
Brother This self-inflicted wound is well desinged
Brother Du For what has happened...
The use of bee venom is a secret of the escort business I will not tell it to the outsiders
I've already acted as the grantor for you and put my fingerprint on the contract with His Royal Highness
Thank you so much for your help, Brother Du
Every medicine has its side effect, let alone it's poison
Even if there's an antidote
There'll be some damage to the internal organs
So you'll not only need an antidote
but also some tonics
This is what I developed with my seven-year experience of wearing that leather outfit
A tonic specifically for the bee venom
Here I am bringing this to you
To relieve the symptom you have only one pill is needed
By now you should have known
I've been deliberately giving you hard times Now you still dare to take the pill I gave you
Aren't you afraid it's poisonous
Brother Du You won't do it so obviously if you really want to harm me
What you just said to me There are some friendly feelings in it
For these feelings I'll take it even if it's poisonous
Courageous You poisoned yourself in order to avoid going to His Royal Highness' residence again
I'm really impressed
Indeed you are the disciple of Master Dai Haichen
Don't worry, brother I will take care of this for you
Head Master, with these guns on hand, our Escort Service will be even more confident on the road
Would there be less confidence without these guns
I didn't mean that
These guns are quite nice But they are not for the Headquarter team
You should go to Beijing immediately and send these guns to Du Zaishan of Sanli Escort Service
Head Master There's quite a lot wear and tear in the guns we have and it should be the time for replacement
Now we finally got some new guns Why should we give it to someone else
Anshun is new the escort business in Beijing and would certainly be marginalized by the peers
These guns are to buy some courtesy from them
The escort routes for Taigu's team are all well established There's no need for these guns
I heard that you changed the policies and loosened the control of the business in the banches
Is that true
Yes, Head Master
Recently the escort masters in the branches have made a lot of suggestions to the headquarter
In my mind, those suggestions not really unreasonable
There're geographic differences between the North and the South
and also the customs are very different So we can't look for total consistency in the businesses
Customized policies can better fit the local conditions
What you said is not completely unresonable
The business for our Escort Service is quite slow in recent years It's OK to make some changes
But there're two policies that can't be violated
First, no escort on stolen goods
Secondly, no tradings on opium
You should be well prepared for supervision and control
Yes I will be very cautious and pay extra attention to that
Please don't worry, Head Master
Father Xiping has always been very cautious
He would be even more hesitant if you keep saying these
You are the Lead Escort Master You can make the decision on what to do yourself
I understand, Head Master
Father I'll escort the trip when Xiping goes to Beijing this time
Please enjoy
Brother Du
- Brother Du - Thanks for waiting. Please sit
Sorry, brother I can not accept these guns
You are...
I extended my hand to help Liu Anshun as a friend
If I accept your gifts, it would actually make us feel not so close
Since you don't want to accept it as gift, then what about I sell it to you
How much do you want
I got these guns from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau at cost
Since I'm not giving as gift but selling it
Let's forget about the friendship but talk about the business
I'll add ten percent on the cost Four hundred and forty ounces of silver ingot
The price is very fair
It's not a small amount How about this
I'll send someone to collect the payment in five days
Dai Haichen's disciple really has class
Brother Du Good-bye
Good-bye Jia Si
Walk the guest out This way please
Yes, sir
Lead Escort Master This way please
Brother Du He's left
Li Xiping talked about the business but not the friendship
He not only made me accepting these guns without any embarassment
He also left as if he did a favor to me
Having a friend like that
Liu Anshun is really lucky
Du Zaishan accepted the guns So he shouldn't give Brother Anshun any hard time in the future
Du Zaishan is known to be very cunning
Thank you, Xiping. You've worked so hard
What are you talking about
Head Master bought these guns with his own money
I can't let him down wasting all his efforts So no matter how tough Du Zaishan is
I have to get this done
Don't worry Brother Shun should have better days in Beijing from now on
Would you go take a look at him for me
You think I don't want to go But I can't go right now
I'm the Lead Escort Master while Brother Shun is the disciple with Black Bag
He is a person deemed to be at fault and would have to kowtow to me when we meet
How could I let Brother Shun kowtow to me
How about you go yourself
Father asked me not to let him know that we're helping him
Who would know if you don't tell them We came a long way to Beijing from Shanxi
It would be such a pity if you can't meet Brother Shun just for once
Also I've heard that Brother Shun is not very well recently
It seems he got malaria
Rongrong
Haven't seem you for just a few days But your cooking is getting much better
Aunt My cooking is still not quite good
Only when using knife it is OK for me
You've practiced Kungfu since you were young
This is really not easy for you
You don't need to worry about Anshun Since Head Master Du came to see him
Anshun is getting much better
Master Du's medicine really works
Just don't know where he got these medicines
Du Zaishan brought over the medicine
It must be because of Xiping
They are indeed good brothers
- Xiping - Yeah
Aunt, is the water boiling
Oh, it's almost there
Anshun Does the food taste good today
Delicious
Then just eat some more
- I'll get a bowl of soup for you - Thank you, Mother
Just the right time to eat
You don't look good You're ill
What are you doing
Stop pretending It was you who robbed the Ninth Beile last night
I'm a bandit Would you expect me to do charity work instead of committing a robbery
His is my employer
Employer I'd rather call him a brothel frequenter
What a surprise Usually you look pretty serious
but also go to places like that
I was working
Come on You guys are all the same The more you say, it will only make you look worse
Whatever you want to say I don't need to explain to you
Who wants your explanations
OK, listen to me Let's make it clear
We've made an agreement earlier when you came to Beijing
I'm only responsible for accommodating you But you shouldn't commit any crime while in Beijing Otherwise I won't be able to protect you
Who needs you protection
Great My temple is too small for a big Buddha like you Please just leave
- What are you doing - Just go
- Go - I'm going
Good-bye
I'll leave after eating
Who is letting you eat Just go
What are you doing
Who is letting you eat Just go
- Rongrong - Rongrong
- Why did she leave - Why didn't you tell me Rongrong is here
- She... - Rongrong
Rongrong
Aunt Who is that girl
Anshun's fiancee
Not as good-looking as I am
Rongrong
Rongrong Rongrong
Rongrong
You scared me How come you are here
I shouldn't be here, right
You misunderstood me That girl is a bandit
Fine. Forget it
Martial Brother She is not a good person
I know I just have to fulfill my responsibilities entrusted by others
But why were you chatting and laughing with her
I didn't chat and laugh with her I was teaching her a lesson
You pulled her arm
I...I did pull her arm, but... Anyway I have nothing to do with her I was about to drive her away just then
- Really - Yes
You asked her yo leave
Have I ever fooled you before
OK I'll let you go on this time since you're sick
Yeah just let me go
- But there should be punishment for you - Of course
As a punishment, take me out to eat
Great. I'm still hungry too Let's go back now
Aunt is there. Take me out to eat
OK. Let's go
