[Are You OK]
[Episode 12: Good Guy Boss, a Lifetime of Peace]
Not long ago, a courtier told me about a story.
About how tiny ants are able to devour a huge elephant corpse.
[Millions of ants come together...]
[and after some time, the only thing left of the corpse are the bones.]
An army of ants devouring an elephant is indeed remarkable.
But I asked him,
what if the elephant was a live one?
If it was alive,
would the ants still be able to devour the elephant successfully?
The courtier replied,
"If it was a live elephant,"
"it could destroy the ants nest with one trample."
Aren't you afraid of the ants when they unite together?
I do.
But you people...
aren't capable of what the ants can.
What are you saying?
I'm saying,
the Best Tower stands tall before me.
Is it for fear that the elephant can't see the threat?
Too high profile.
What you people are doing...
is putting me in a difficult position...
as the emperor.
I've put in a lot of effort into understanding you people.
I realised the ideas of Travellers are indeed remarkable.
You lot appeared 30 years ago,
when Liang was most in need of a miracle.
If you people hadn't taken over the body of my good brother,
the well-respected and victorious commander,
I wouldn't have been able to ascend to the throne.
Unfortunately, your assistance is no longer needed in Liang.
You might have a stronger proposition, but...
not today!
Not on my land!
[Because here, I am the god.]
I don't need Travellers.
Neither does Liang!
I'm going to annihilate all threats!
Luckily, the number of Travellers is not too big.
Otherwise, the annihilation would've been like hell on earth.
You despicable emperor!
You have no respect for human life! You're...
My dear...
If I give you the chance to save one person,
who would you choose?
I'm begging Your Majesty.
Let Xiao Xue go.
Xiao Xue?
Ms Xiao Xue is indeed very smart.
It's too bad.
Well then, I'll bestow a reward,
for you two sisters to reunite again.
Hey, you guys.
I don't get you.
Are you sure?
This white smoke bomb will be the key to your escape.
You have a plan of escape?
Escape? Where?
Oh, no, nobody is escaping.
You heard wrong, that's all.
Fang, Shen, we're friends, right?
Don't you guys worry.
The Tuo Huang people must have dug an escape tunnel.
It shouldn't be far.
Use the white smoke bomb to help me save Yun Qi.
[Lou Zhu]
What a lovely night.
I'm getting the urge to break into song.
Get out of here! Let me tell you,
I was the champion of the 50m sprint back in middle school.
Sure, I'll do as you say.
I hope I won't greet you as a pile of ash later.
Don't worry.
I still have a lot of debt to clear with the Alliance.
Alright, one last friendly reminder.
Champion of the 50m sprint was your previous life.
Get lost!
You didn't have to personally come, Your Majesty!
This is too laborious.
This is an important occasion.
I can't not be here to witness it.
Your Majesty, those inside the cave are citizens of Liang.
If you'd have some patience to guide them,
they would surely be of use to you in the future.
They'd contribute to Liang.
Contribute to Liang?
You mean contribute to the upheaval of Liang!
I do not like any kind of power that I cannot control.
If I can't control it, then I'll destroy it!
Your Majesty.
I'm willing to guarantee with my life...
that these people will not harm your interests.
They will not do anything outrageous!
Lou Zhu,
you also acted as guarantor to Zuo Yun Qi's employment.
He should've perished in the fire,
and yet he's standing right there in one piece.
You owe me an explanation.
You lied to me!
Lou Zhu,
who do you think you are?
[Tuo Huang]
The Emperor decrees.
Tuo Huang is guilty of amassing power in an attempt to revolt.
Lou Zhu has failed to maintain peace and deceived the Emperor.
Capture all Travellers that are present...
to be punished on the spot. All law-breakers...
shall be beheaded!
Sorry, Lou Zhu.
Your Majesty, we'll be rid of both the Travellers and dissidents.
Good. I'm ready to marvel at the magnificent scene.
Set the chair down.
Fang, Shen, you guys are regulars at Best Tower, right?
Do you think the Best Tower is good?
-Well... -That's...
Do you think...
us Travellers...
are good?
Who cares about that?
You're also humans who eat and sleep.
Makes sense.
Don't follow me inside.
The thing inside will kill all of you.
-Lou Zhu! -Lou...
Remember! Don't follow me!
What? We can't let him escape. Go after him!
But...
"Good guy Boss, a lifetime of peace."
A lifetime of peace, my foot!
Darn it!
Why do I keep getting bombarded by problems of all sorts?
Why is my life so hard?
Considering my looks...
and my intelligence...
The world should've been my oyster!
But why am I in such desperation?
All these stupid problems...
Never ending complications!
Oh gosh, I'm out of breath.
All I wish for is to live the life of a bum.
Why would they want to take such a dream away?
I might as well just stop now.
Let it be.
I don't care anymore.
Anyway, I've already died once before.
[Get up, Boss.]
Xiao Xue?
You haven't been working out, have you?
Gosh, I told you it's not good to be so sedentary.
I can't run anymore.
I'm tired.
The Boss can't stop.
You're the one leading the charge.
If you stop,
those who are following you would be lost.
I have been running...
from certain things.
So this time,
-let me... -Jerk!
Go die! I was wrong about you!
stop running.
-Retreat! -Retreat!
[Retreat, now!]
Find him, dead or alive.
Brother.
The thing you asked me to prepare for the Future Banquet.
I haven't had the chance to show you.
Could that be...
That's right.
It's a gun.
My goodness.
You guys managed to make that too?
Jiao Jiao Ran.
So you are the leader of Tuo Huang.
How was it, running for your life?
Prince Yu.
Even the best kung fu...
amounts to nothing when faced with a gun.
If you like our product and is willing to invest in us,
you can keep the gun as a welcome gift.
Prince Yu, that thing... It kills!
-Surround them! -Yes, sir!
In the end, you still chose to kill me using the Traveller's weapon
Rong Qi, you've changed!
You don't need to know any martial arts.
All you have to do is bend your finger,
and you'll be able to kill from a distance.
Prince Yu, you can't be serious about killing the Emperor.
You wouldn't kill anyone.
You're not that kind of person, right?
Line up the three dots.
Aim the sight at your prey.
Why, I'd certainly like to see what a Traveller's creation is capable of.
Come on, show me!
Let's see whether this supposedly great weapon could harm me.
Protect His Majesty!
Listen to me, Prince Yu.
Don't be rash!
If you shoot him now, you might just regret it later.
Next, we'll wait for the right opportunity...
and pull the trigger
A little longer...
Your Highness, don't!
Wait...
Shoot.
[The Fifth Prince, Rong Xuan,]
[energetic and spirited.]
-[To be recorded in the royal archive.] -[Princesses live through generations.]
-[May his name be remembered.] -[Your Highness, we've located Mr Liu.]
[I'm afraid his days are numbered.]
[Tuo Huang]
Interesting.
Retreat!
Protect the litter!
Full retreat!
Protect the litter!
How interesting.
How interesting!
As expected of my younger brother!
I'll save Yun Qi amidst the chaos.
You guys will save that concubine.
Take cover, Prince Yu!
Is she the concubine?
Who cares? Just get me out of here!
Let's go.
That darned Martial Arts Alliance, ruining my plan at the crucial moment.
If we had chased after victory,
we could've taken them...
Congratulations, Prince Yu.
You shot the first shot to mark the new era.
Very good.
This project of yours,
I'm in.
You made the right choice!
All the members of Tuo Huang,
every one of you Travellers.
It doesn't matter how your past was,
or what you did in your previous lives.
From this moment on,
we,
as the most superior beings in this world,
welcome the start of a new chapter.
-Tuo Huang! -Tuo Huang!
You guys will work on this area. You guys, over there.
Mr Zuo, please don't feel bad.
I don't feel bad.
Boss is the one who must be feeling bad.
Saving the people of Best Tower,
saving the Travellers,
he bears the burden all by himself.
You said you didn't care, right?
You said you'd just lay low, get by and wait to die?
Liar!
All he did was get himself killed!
I'm sorry, Boss.
I wasn't asking you to go die.
For us to be willing to sacrifice ourselves,
it has to be something worthwhile.
[Thirty years ago,]
[Travellers came to save Liang from crisis.]
[Liang was lucky.]
[The late Emperor looked upon them favourably.]
[Now, the Travellers have become greedy.]
[They conspire to disrupt the nation.]
[An unforgivable act.]
[To protect the people,]
[the Emperor made a declaration,]
[all those who create trouble are deemed as thieves.]
[Who then would dare to steal...]
[from the great Liang?]
Sorry to interrupt.
What you guys said is right. But I think...
it's not too late to save Lou Zhu.
