♫ 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 nowhere to rest♫
♫ And the fading dream's like begonia in the fall♫
♫ The emptiness of life is everywhere♫
♫ Hewu! Don't ask where from and where to go♫
♫ 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♫
♫ I'll hold you hard in the next life♫
The Great Protector Episode 18
If you dare not to bet， You lose
and should get the hell out of here right now
- Who said I dare not to bet - Young Lord
I like this play
Who will start first
I'll start first
Missy Missy
Looks like I'm quite lucky
Young Lord
What a coincidence I'm quite lucky too
Missy Missy
- Young Lord - Uncle He Stop nagging
I'm betting with my life
Only two more shots left Maybe only one
You can choose to throw the towel
You have to marry me if you lose
Bullshit
If you open fire, you lose
I will not lose
Looks like I'm really lucky today
Now there's only one shot left
You'll lose no matter whether you take the shot or not
Do you need me to help you with the shot
Young Lord Let's get out of here
Don't bother
I'll do it myself
Put the gun down
Dad
Can't you bet on some other games Why do you have to bet on life
Everyone has witnessed
I didn't force him to bet He did it willingly
How is it You lost
You have to concede the defeat
It's not over yet
How do you know I'll lose
Give me the gun
The old trick again
Chief Missy was just playing with me
Follow me
Just wait and see
Don't mess with the trigger when you have nothing to do
Master
I'll cut-short on the compliments
You are the grand master of Kungfu in Shanxi
and also the celebrity in Taigu
In regard to the training of the rookies
I'll rely much on your help
Brigadier Xu I'm only an escort master from an Escort Service
and know a little about the Kungfu
I've never been on the battlefield
and really don't know how to train the rooky soldiers
You are really too flattering to me, Brigadier Xu
Master Brigadier Xu is not asking you to train them personally
What he meant is that
you can send a few escort masters
to his barrack
Normally just teach them some techniques for combat when facing the enemies
That'll be very beneficial to them already
For the matters in the Escort Service
I've already handed the control of the business
to my disciple Li Xiping
He is out on business recently
Once he is back
I'll certainly pass along the message of goodwill from Brigadier Xu
Fine That being said
I'm not gonna disturb you any further
I'll come to visit you again at another time
Wait a second
Brigadier Xu These stuff Please take it back with you
Master This is my first visit to you
Some modest presents Please just accept it
I dare not
I dare not accept the rewards if it's not earned
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
- See you later - Good-bye
Master Just then...
You are not talking to him with any courtesy just then
Brigadier Xu
He is the most influential figure in Shanxi right now
So what
Can't you tell, Master
Many provinces went independent one after another in recent months
The Imperial government is hoping to turn the tide with the influence of Yuan Shikai
But he's been keeping contact with the Revolutionists secretly
The Qing Dynasty is pretty much over
I know a little about this too
Then why didn't you...
It's not that I don't know the current situation
Brigadier Xu doesn't look like a nice person
I'd advise you not to be too close to him either
- All right - You are right
We need to make friends with the officials in order to do business
But we need to differentiate what kind of people they are
Yes yes You are right, Master
But the times are changing
We need to get prepared in advance
Otherwise I...
We'll all be abandoned by the changing times
Dad Dad Don't be mad at me
Please calm down Dad
Anger is not good to your health Don't ignore me Dad
Dad Don't be mad at me any longer
Calm down Calm Down
Anger is harmful to your health
You are really too immature
I've said I was just playing around
How could you play around like that
Everybody is looking at it
You are behaving so mischievously How could I control them later on
I was helping you testing him
Think about it You want to promote him to be the captain
What if he is an idiot
Don't try to fool me I think you are trying all your best to end his life
Yes I do want to kill him
Why did he cause my coming a cropper in Beijing
and you are not helping me to take it back on him
So I have to take the revenge myself
My little girl Shanmao has some kind of history with us
You can't kill him
I know
Isn't he the son of that Old Commander
His father wouldn't be much better with a son like him
He was the senior member of the Nian Army
Be careful when talking about him in the future
I'm really a little regretful now
I've spoiled you since you were little
and that leads to how you are now
How am I now
Is that you want me to become a lady
I'm just worried that in the future
you will not be able to find a man to marry to
You don't need to worry about that
There're a lot of men who like me
I'm worried that you'll fall for someone you should not love
You won't be able to handle it yourself at that time
What's wrong with you today
Just keep embarrassing me
No one knows his daughter better than the father
My little girl As your father, there's one thing I have to talk to you
Bandits and escort masters are from two different worlds
You'd better forget about that idea
I don't know what you are talking about
I'm talking about Liu Anshun
You think I like Liu Anshun
It's great if you don't
Yes, I do like him
My little girl Forget about him
But I can't
Young Lord You should listen to me
Let's leave here as early as possible
Leave here Leave here Leave here
Anything else you can say besides this
That girl won't let you off the hook easily
We're in their territory and will suffer the loss sooner to later
I will accept the loss
Uncle He Can't you stop nagging by my ears all day long
Just keeps whining and whining
Uncle He Are you getting too old
You should get out of here and enjoy your retirement
I'll accept whatever happens to me
Unless you leave with me
You've got me You've got me
Father You're so great
You even left me with controlling spell of golden-hoop right before you died
Do you know why I stay here
For that girl
You're just like the roundworm in my stomach
A perfect guess
Yes I will marry her
She is not the right one for you
It's up to me to decide whether she's the right one
If anyone dares to stop me
I'll kill him no matter who he is
Uncle He I've already given Zhao Xiu away to you
Given to you, to you
I beg you I beg you I beg you
You just go ahead to leave here with no worries and enjoy your life with Zhao Xiu
Xiu'er is yours Not mine
All right
If you don't want her I'll go to kill her when I leave here another day
Next time when I go to Beijing If I stop by your Escort Service
You're not gonna drive me away, right
Of course not
Liu Anshun, I'll go to bother you again
Good-bye
Lead Escort Master Lord E'erhe is still mad
I just can't persuade him to come back
But you don't need to worry
There won't be any problem with him as long as I am here
Please sit down
To Guangshun Escort Service
It was the first ever escort we took
It wasn't easy to get it done
Without the efforts by everyone
I would not have been able to accomplish anything
Thank you I won't repeat the words of gratitude anymore
I have something to take care of tomorrow
and need to go to Shanxi first
As for the escort team, Lord Tong and Lord Li
I'd ask you to kindly lead it back to Beijing
We probably will meet again after the New Year
No problem
With Lord Li and I myself
There should be no problem with the return trip
Please don't worry
Oh yes Let's settle the payment for the trip
Escort Master Li
There have been quite a lot of distress during the trip
So the pay will be doubled for everyone
Please share it with everybody tomorrow morning
This is against the rule We should be paid for what has been agreed
That's OK This was the first escort
The extra amount should be considered as the bonus
Also it's almost the New Year
The wives and kids at home
are waiting for the money for food too Please take it
Oh Also please give this to Master Du for me
Just as my New Year's presents to him
OK
Lead Escort Master There's one thing I'd like to talk to you
Please go ahead
I'd like to join Guangshun Escort Service after the New Year
I'm afraid that's not quite right
Master Du kindly let me borrow his guys
How can I undermine his business by stealing his guy
Well you shouldn't say it that way
I am only with Sanli Escort Service on a temporary assignment
The contract can be terminated at any time
Usually I take the jobs like the house guard
Now I'd like to come out and explore more with you
Lead Escort Master We've opened the escort route now
More help is needed in the future
Since Escort Master Li is willing to come
You should not reject his offer
Yeah
All right If Master Du is willing to let you go
Guangshun Escort Service will be waiting for you
Thank you Lead Escort Master You guys continue
- I'm going to say hello to the other folks - OK
Go to bed early
Lord Tong This is the share for you and Lord E'erhe
Also doubled
Wait a second
You broke the rules while on the road
So it will be deducted by half Do you accept
Wealth to me is just like the floating cloud
Money to me really means nothing
There's also the share for Lord E'erhe I'm giving him half of it
and will keep the other half for him
You've given everyone else the full amount Why only half for him
I'm afraid he'll lose it all to you while on the road
Actually I'm keeping it for him as well
I'm just kidding
Lord Tong People should not make the same mistake twice
Do you understand
No worries My greatest strength is to correct the mistake immediately
once aware of it
That's good to hear Here you go
All right
When you return to Taigu
You'll ask for your Head Master's permission of marriage, right
Liu Anshun
Why should I let you live a happier life than me
Really a nice man
It's so late Where are you going
You scared me Are you crazy
I'll shoot you right now if you keep being so sneaky
If you kill me
You'll be killing your dear husband
If you say this again I'll kill you right now
I'm not talking nonsense This is what we bet today
You lost
Really
You are not having such bad memory, aren't you
Now I remember
But that was what you said I didn't agree
You rascal A bet is a bet. You must honor it
You said before A bandit who keeps his words won't live long
I don't want to be short-lived
I don't care whether you agree or not
Tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll go to your father for the marriage proposal anyway
I'm so touched
But let me tell you It doesn't matter who agrees if I don't agree
What are you doing
You are going to look for
Liu Anshun
It's none of your business
Let me ask you Is it that you like me
Yes
So you're willing to do whatever I ask you to do
Is it true
If I say yes
You will certainly ask me to die
Bingo
All right
Then I'll die for you
You are nuts Get out of the way

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
Just think about it again if you forget
Try to come back earlier
Master Missy is back
You're back
Father
Why isn't Anshun coming back with you
- Father - I know
Avoid contact before getting married
Father I'm a little tired
I'm going back to my room for some rest first
Lead Escort Master You are back
Lord Wu Is the Head Master in
Yes yes he is
Would you mind
All right Let me show you the way
This is great
Master Lead Escort Master is back
Your unworthy disciple Liu Anshun kowtow to you
Get up
Thank you Head Master
Missy just got in the door
Here follows the presents from the Lead Escort Master
No wonder The magpies have kept chirpping all morning
All right Should prepare a couple more dishes for lunch today
Head Master
You said Rongrong is just back
Didn't you come back together
No we didn't
I thought
She and Xiping would take on the escort trip with you together
Rongrong and Xiping did want to do that
But I...
I understand
You would like to establish the new escort route on your own
Let's not talk about this now
Anshun
Did everything go well with this escort
Some minor hiccups
But fortunately the goods and the people are all safe
The escort route via the Blindman's Ridge
hasn't been clear for twenty years
This time you really bring honor
to Guangshun Escort Service
Head Master It's really all thanks to you
I didn't help with anything You got it done all by yourself
I met Du Zaishan when I was in Beijing
He had really high praises of you
You've been to Beijing, Head Master
I went with the Young Master
and didn't stay for too long
So I decided not to bother you
When Xiping is back a little bit later
I'll ask him to call for a meeting of all the escort masters in Taigu
and restore your name with the White Bag
Thank you, Head Master
Why are you bringing back so many presents this time
Head Master I do have one thing in mind coming back this time
I'd like to ask for a favor from you
What is it
I would boldly ask for you permission to marry Rongrong after the New Year
I thought you would talk to me about something else
Your marriage with Rongrong
has been agreed upon long time ago
If you don't talk to me about this today
I would have asked you about it
Head Master
Rongrong Anshun is just back
You two can have a chat Just have a chat
I drank too much that night
You didn't I clearly remember you...
I said I drank too much and don't remember anything
You'd better forget it too
Rongrong You just misunderstood
Miss Lu got wounded for me
I was just treating her injury
Martial Brother I just want to ask you for one thing
If there was no marriage agreement between us
Would you still love me
Of course
My heart has never changed
Then if...
What exactly do you want to say
What if I did something wrong to you
No matter what you do
I will not be mad at you
Really? No matter what
You won't be mad at me
You know it
You know I'm not a smart guy
Sometimes I just don't know why
I would make you angry and offend you
But my heart has never changed
Do you know When you were betrothed to me by Head Master
I just can't tell you how happy I was
How excited I was
I've been dreaming about that day
Dreaming about the day I can marry you
Really
Every word I said I can swear on it
I dare to swear in front of the Patron Deity of the escort business
If I ever lied...
Don't say anything anymore
Rongrong Do you know
I'm worried... worried about losing you
I'm worried that you will leave me
Don't make me worry, OK
Don't be mad at me anymore
This bracelet
It's about the time to give it to Rongrong
You can rest in peace
I found a trustworthy man for her
Her life
will surely be happier than ours
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
Xiping Why didn't you say something when you came
Still like to eavesdrop, just like when you were a kid Come on
I just have something to tell you
You came at the right time
I have a good news to tell you
Rongrong Xiping is here
I'm going to marry Rongrong
-Aren't you Yes.
What's wrong Aren't you happy that I'm marrying your Martial Sister
Aren't you gonna congratulate me
Why wouldn't I
Martial Sister Congratulations
Rongrong Where are you going, Rongrong
Wait
What happened
Brother Shun It's such a big happy event
Aren't you treating us with a banquet
Banquet is not a problem You can drink as much as you want then
Brother Shun I'm really sorry to you
I'm really sorry to you
What's wrong
I made a big mistake against the rules of the escort business
I'm asking for your punishment
What big mistake
Xiping Stand up Speak out and make it clear
I loved someone I should not love
According to the rules of the escort business
I should be punished with knife and ax
Loved someone you shouldn't love
Xiping The three of us grew up together
My relationship with Rongrong
This is not the first time you know about it
I know
The three of us grew up together
I consider you as my closest family
People I love the most
Don't push me
I have kept telling myself
Rongrong is my future sister-in-law
I should treat her just as my own family
as my own sister
I also tell myself
Li Xiping Brother Shun is like the leading horse
You are like the secondary horse
You are destined to assist Brother Shun
Rongrong is your sister-in-law
If anyone is against this marriage Li Xiping will be the first one to go against him
Since you know it all
Then why did you do all these
I just can't help it
I can't help it
The more I try to control myself
The stronger that thought becomes
Brother Shun
I love Rongrong
I can lie to you
But I can't lie to myself
Head Master has betrothed Rongrong to me long time ago
We are under the same Head Master You shall not covet
- That is the rule - I know the rule
I know
We three grew up together
We practiced Kungfu together, took on the escorts together
You care about her I care even more than you do
I can't stand to see her painfully waiting for you
I can't stand to see her being mistreated
I can't stand when she saw you were with that bandit girl
the way she suffered
If there were no such rules If there wasn't that marriage arrangement
I would have the right to love her too I could take care of her too
Bullshit I treat you as my own brother
How dare you say something like that How dare you
Martial Brother
Rongrong
Is that you think the same as he does
I don't know
Stop running away
The three of us are all here today We have to make things clear
Answer me
If there's not that marriage arrangement
Would you agree to marry me
I don't know I really don't know
I'm asking you to look at me
I don't know
Don't push me
Is that because of Miss Lu
I've told you that you misunderstood
Don't ask anymore, Brother Shun
I will not choose either of you
I'm not a good woman
Don't think of me anymore
Rongrong Why are you saying something like that
Because...
Martial Sister
Because I did something wrong to you
You've said No matter what I did
You will forgive me
But I can't forgive myself
