♫ 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 23
Lord Tong Slow down Slow down
He really sucks He'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 Service, about our causes
I would have died a hundred times
Lord Tong As I can see
Your suffering is a good thing
Lead Escort Master I'm already like this How can you say that
You are so cruel
Lead Escort Master is right Wisdom 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 bitch You have no right to talk here
Lead Escort Master Look at him So ungrateful
The noodle you are eating is cooked by me
All right All right, Xiu'er Lord Tong has suffered a lot when he was in there
Don't say anything again
E'erhe Get control of your woman
You...What are you talking about Who is his woman
Why are you smirking
Lord Tong Tell us What did you experience while you were in there
Don't just keep on eating Say 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 Gentle Gentler
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 gotten 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 Wa Dead
He was wrongly killed
Bastard
Eating people without spitting out the bones
Lead Escort Master Jia Kemu will certainly do something to the Escort Service sooner or later
He's done so much injustice to others He won't last for too long
Lord Tong Seriously
Du Zaishan's Sanli Escort Sevice has closed its door
I took over his people and property
Now we don't have enough space here and have to move to a different place
This old fox Du Zaishan
The most critical thing right now is that we don't have money
Lead Escort Master We can try to pool the money
With whom
Lead Escort Master I 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 simple Join 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 poor According 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 is The tougher the escort masters' lives are
Even if you ask them to pay the fees They won't be able to do that
OK We are not gonna talk about anything else
Let's just talk about the settling-in allowance That is quite a big amount
Where are you gonna pool the money
We still have some money at hand Share it with everybody first
As for the rest Let's think about it again later
Lead Escort Master Someone is here for you
Have some rest first
Lead Escort Master Right now whatever business we can get
We have to take it
Jia Kemu
You son of bitch You are really killing me
Mr Cai
Lead Escort Master Liu Long time no see
Hope everything is fine with you, Mr Cai
Very Well Please come in Let's sit down and talk
Sit down please I really have to thank you
If it wasn't for you Last time Mr Song and I may had been finished
Remains the heart and soul While 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 public Calmly becoming imprisoned
Readily sacrificing my life
Proudly living up to my dream
Remains the heart and soul While broken body vanishing like ashes
Remains the sparkle of ideal Which lighting up the darkness every night
Honestly I'm a little ashamed I'm not a well educated man
Talking about the poem with me is 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 said Man should have ambition
and must live up to his life
Escort Master Liu We have experienced the difficult times together and are not strangers
I'm asking you to come here today because 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
But 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
Zhangjiakou Tour for the railroad between Beijing and Zhangjiakou
There was one time Liu Anshun came to stay in the Ancestral Hall of my family
and insisted on learning some outright force from 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 this
Anshun is a good kid
Head Master
Head Master Please 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 Beijing I've heard about it
You are really a worthy disciple of me
Rongrong and Xiping
They just got married I didn't tell you
I just don't know how to tell you
It was my fault first You don't need to be concerned, Head Master
I'm getting old
and tend to make some mistakes
Please don't say that, Head Master
Probably I just don't have the blessing
Please don't worry too much, Head Master
Xiping Xiping is much better than 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 apprenticeship I got your White Bag back
As for the Black Bag I 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 Master Sorry I can't comply with your request
This is unfair to Xiping
It's not unfair at all
Whereas there's an important position It 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
Master This 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 that It 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 Lu I have to go out right now You guys go ahead to eat
Anything urgent
I'm going to meet a very important person
Oh You come to Beijing to meet your lover after all
No wonder you were in such a hurry on the way here
What lover The person I'm going to meet...
I'll talk to you later Uncle Xia I'm leaving now
Be careful More haste, less speed
You see He is in such a hurry Probably going to Badahutong (a place well known for brothels)
Head Master
I understand what you said I'm not refusing because of my modesty
Then why do you refuse
I think I'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 Master I 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 Master Dare I say something that might offend you
Hope you don't mind
At the Taigu Escort Service You 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 Master Do 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 Master I 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 Master Xiping 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 Master So by saying that You'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 Master These are the savings for your retirement How can I take them
These money are not for you
These are the capital as my investment in Guangshun Escort Service
I'm a half owner of your Guangshun Escort Service Is that OK
This..
Take them
Thank you Head Master
This is great , Anshun
Hey Missy
Hey Miss Lu Miss Lu
Lu Yaoting Lu Yaoting You are so useless
Aren't you just paying a visit out of convenience
He's not gonna eat you anyway
Lead Escort Master I 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
Missy Anything I can do for you
That guy who plays with crickets
Who takes advantage of decent women That rogue
Are you talking about Lord Wa
Yes yes yes. That is him Where is he
- He's dead - Dead
Got beheaded
Right on the street over there
Not even an intact body left at the end
All the good will get its reward All 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 it No regret once played
Just once
You're regretted for over ten times, Miss Lu
One last time One last time
Miss Lu I think your body is here
But your mind is not here
Miss Lu Is 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 her Rongrong 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 Deity
The bandit will treat her as a 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 course What people say about his demeanor has 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 Xia I'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
Mother The 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 Rongrong It was my fault
If there was not that Miss Lu
You and Rongrong would not have become like this now
Mother I owe the favor to Miss Lu You can't talk about her like that
I know But gratitude is one thing Affection 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 changed People need to catch up and change as well
I didn't understand
There has been changes of regimes since the 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 Liu Come over and sit down
Anshun Take a seat
Anshun Are you feeling uncomfortable
Mr Yan Is 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 stand You should be quite used to the bumpy ride on the horse
How come you are having motion sickness
Mr Yan The feeling of riding a horse is different from taking the train
The horizontal swings make me quite uncomfortable It'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 you Sunflower 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 here It'll be nice to have some sunflower seeds while chatting - Thank you sir
All right Just 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 bodyguard I 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 Cai Take care of Mr Sun
Something is going on out there I'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 right Let 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
Yeah You've owed me so much How are you gonna repay
No way to repay Even 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 that It was all my crafty plan
I knew something was gonna happen to you So I got on the train in secret
I'm telling you You've owed me a big favor this time
We need to get it well settled afterwards
No matter how much I owe you As long as Anshun is here I would not have the chance to repay
I'm not gonna disturb you You guys go on
Did you hear
Get back on the train Get back on
Let's go
- Mr Cai - Come on in Miss Lu Please sit down
Miss Lu So 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 Liu Is Miss Lu also in the escort business
Mr Cai You guessed it wrong
I'm wrong
He belongs to the escort business I'm a bandit
Those people are my peers actually
So you don't believe me
Of course I believe you So we are of the same kind actually
- Ah You are the same kind as I am - That's right
Don't you believe Ask him if you don't believe
Just last year We 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 fine Everything will be fine in the world
If everything is fine Our nation will thrive
Next let's welcome Mr Sun to give us a speech
Develop our nation with the railroad
Everybody In today's world
Constructing so many railroads People will all take the train in the future
How do we continue to be the bandits
Miss Lu Can 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 person At least not to do any wicked things
Really Sorry I will disappoint you
I'm a bandit since I was born
Have done many wicked things
So evil Can'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 ago Escort masters and bandits can't travel the same road together
Don't worry From 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 Master Come here
Sir Who are you looking for
I'm looking for that girl who stays in this room
Are you looking for Miss Lu She 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 floor Haven't seen her back since then
♫In the distance The appearance of happiness in my memory
♫Still remembering Waking up from the dream in the winter night
♫On that day Looking back towards the hometown from far away
♫As the person in my heart You are as warm as the sun in the winter
♫Where is it today
♫The moonlight is like your eyes Looking at me in silence
♫I'm waiting for your return At the time with frost around
♫Time flies by so fast But 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 train I felt I still didn't want to give up
I was afraid once I left
I would never see you again
