Episode 63.
- Keep a close watch on the outside! - Yes.
I'll give you a chance to do something great for buyeo.
Sneak into gyehru and kill ju-mong.
Even an army couldn't kill ju-mong.
If you do, then you will be recognized as a national hero.
Your entire family will be nobles.
I will protect your family until you come back.
If you turn your back on us, your family will be in danger.
General...
General!
What brings you here at this hour?
Our business troop in heng-in is under detention.
The manager has been killed.
Heng-in has maintained a friendly relationship with gyehru.
What happened?
The allied forces of the han and buyeo have pressured heng-in
into stopping trading with jol-bon.
The allied forces also killed the manager.
The han and buyeo have formed an alliance.
Even the other tribes and nations,
because of pressure from the han and buyeo,
are starting to stop trading with jol-bon.
Welcome.
The chiefs are very angry.
I hope the unity of jol-bon doesn't break because of this.
The mal-gal tribe has decided to stop trading horses with gwanna.
South ok-jeo has also decided to stop trading with us.
We don't know how many more tribes
and nations have given into the han and buyeo's pressure.
They'll impose an embargo for now in fear of the han and buyeo,
but they'll trade with us if we use the go-San salt.
I'll take this matter into my own hands.
Don't worry.
You have to pass suh-San if you want to bring the go-San salt.
From what I know, even suh-San has imposed an embargo.
You can't bring salt if the road to go-San is blocked.
I'm sure you know the crisis biryu is in right now because of the long famine.
There are even signs of plague from the recent natural disaster.
South ok-jeo has stopped trading medicine.
If there is a plague, the jol-bon people will die by large numbers.
The people will starve to death if we can't bring in food.
Didn't you promise to stand against the han and solve all our problems?
Jol-bon will die if you don't bring food in.
If you don't solve this matter fast, we might make a decision you won't like.
I agree with chief song-Yang.
Did you look into it?
They did stop trading food with us.
More and more refugees are coming into jol-bon.
The food we have won't last very long.
The unity of jol-bon will be at stake if we can't secure food fast.
Is there a way to dispose the embargo?
These envoys are from the nations and
tribes that have decided to stop trading with jol-bon.
Ok-jeo, eu-pru, su-shin, heng-in, sunbi, heuk-sun, mal-gal, suh-San, young-baek...
What about mau?
They're being stubborn.
General heuk-chi.
Yes, your majesty.
Get the army to pressure the mau tribe.
If they still won't yield, kill the chief.
Yes, your majesty!
The tribes and nations that don't side with geum-wa and I will perish!
Any country that trades with jol-bon will be the first to be attacked
by the allied forces of buyeo and the han.
It'll only be a matter of time before jol-bon collapses.
I requested to impose an embargo on jol-bon in order to buy time
to get provisions and war supplies for buyeo and hyeon-to.
While jol-bon is in chaos, we must get secure provisions
and war supplies in order to attack jol-bon.
Very well.
I'll send a message to Chang'an to request provisions.
You should give credit to sul-LAN for her help
in forming an alliance between buyeo and the han.
She sent me a letter and asked me to join forces with you.
I know.
My lady, thank you.
I'm willing to do anything to help you get back in power.
Any news from bu beo-no?
No.
Ask the spy in jol-bon to check what's going on.
Yes, your royal highness.
Are you okay?
I've been sent by prince dae-so.
Why didn't you kill ju-mong yet?
Prince dae-so wants you to act fast.
Are you a jol-bon soldier now?
I applied in order to get closer to general ju-mong.
General ju-mong has appointed me as the officer of the Garrison headquarters.
I think I can kill him soon.
Remember your family is in the buyeo palace.
Wait!
You can take your time.
There's enough for everyone.
Stand in line.
Go stand in line.
Don't cut.
Hey!
Come over here!
What do you think you're doing?
You wretch! What do you think you're doing?
Come over here!
We should throw you in jail!
What did you just blow at us?
Ah... you wretch...
Hey, this is gourd flower powder!
Your wretch, how did you know that this can be poison if you grind it?
How awful!
He's only going to be a thief!
Let's kick him out of gyehru!
Don't talk to our leader that way!
Leader?
Hey! They're a group of bandits!
We should lock them up!
Guards!
Lock these kids up!
Wait!
Is he your leader?
Yes!
Starting from today, you should work for me.
You guys, too!
Mo pal-mo!
They're only little kids.
Just let them go.
Follow me.
Follow me!
What the heck?
Sit in line right here.
You... you've got a talent, using that gourd flower powder.
Come work under me and make weapons with your talent.
You may be making weapons for now,
but once general ju-mong has all the power,
we will use our efforts to make farming tools.
I, mo pal-mo, may make weapons for now,
but one day I will be making farming tools to produce a large crop for general ju-mong's new nation.
So will you work under me?
Yes.
Good.
Then follow me inside.
General, we already gave the provisions to the refugees.
We need to get food fast.
If we can't find a way to trade, the unity of jol-bon will be at stake.
Song-Yang will rebel against you if we can't find a way to disembargo.
Let's wipe out the buyeo and the han's allied forces.
Right, we can't starve to death.
We don't even have a supply route.
We can't go to war without provisions.
Jol-bon is even showing signs of a plague.
We can't bring out an army.
We must bring the go-San salt fast.
Send a message to bae-mang to see if he can bring salt in.
Yes.
I'll go.
Did you hear about the embargo?
Yes, that is what they are saying.
But then aren't we in a difficult situation?
Shouldn't we just trust in general ju-mong?
You are working hard.
What are you doing? Shouldn't you be sleeping?
General, we heard about the big distrubance in jol-bon.
But, general, we put our trust in you.
Isn't San-chun the name of your son born in San-chae?
Yes and he has a second child on the way.
He really has a talent for making children.
I also would like to name your second child.
Tell me when the child is born.
Yes general.
You've done so much. I haven't gotten a chance to know you.
Are you married?
Not yet.
What's the worry? You are handsome and very tall.
But I worry about man-chun here, because if he doesn't get married soon he will be so old that his hips will break.
General, could you introduce him to someone?
Sure.
If I find the right person, I will set you up.
Please do a good job.
Did general ju-mong really name your son?
Yes, he named all the children born while we lived in San-chae.
When times were difficult, general would even help feed the children.
The da-mul army is ready to give our lives for the general if the need arises.
The spy we sent to gyehru is back.
Really?
Yes, your royal highness.
Report to his royal highness.
Bu beo-no hasn't killed ju-mong yet,
but he's been approved by ju-mong and placed near him.
He'll soon take action.
How are things in jol-bon?
In chaos because of the embargo.
The chiefs are trying to find a solution through a meeting,
but can't come up with anything.
Biryu is even showing signs of a plague because of the recent natural disaster.
Really?
Infiltrate biryu and spread the rumor that the heavens have sent a plague
because ju-mong has betrayed buyeo.
Yes.
Na-ru.
Yes, your royal highness.
Ju-mong will do anything he can to disembargo.
He has nothing to depend on except for the go-San salt.
Block all roads so that the go-San salt won't reach jol-bon.
Yes.
Attack!
General...
What happened?
We tried working discreetly during nighttime,
but the han and buyeo's allied forces were already lying in ambush.
Bae-mang was killed, and the troop has been wiped out.
I secretly sent a messenger to smuggle with ok-jeo and heng-in,
but both of them refused.
The han and buyeo's allied forces are already residing in ok-jeo and heng-in.
You mean there's nothing we can do to get food and salt?
The only way to secure food is to bring it from the south.
I know that the south has a lot of grains because of the fine weather and rich soil.
But they're tens of thousands of li away.
How are we going to bring them here?
That's impossible.
If we give up, there's no way to break the embargo.
We have to do something.
Chief so seo-no and I will think of a way.
You should keep an eye on the buyeo and the han army.
Yes.
Hey oh-yi, what are you watching so intently?
Check out that guy over there.
Who?
The guy named bu beo-no.
Yah... that guy has great fighting skills.
He says he comes from ok-jeo, but the way he fights says he is from buyeo.
Why would a guy from ok-jeo fight like he came from buyeo?
Ah, why are you being so picky over the smallest things?
What's wrong with the way he fights? He looks good.
Don't you think we've seen him somewhere before?
So where are you saying he's from?
Oh-yi, stop thinking such foolish thoughts and go inside. We will take care of things out here.
Ok? You do that.
I know he looks familiar.
Where's bu beo-no?
He was here not too long ago.
General!
What happened?
He tried to infiltrate the general's chambers and kill him.
He should be killed!
Where are you from?
I'm from ok-jeo.
Tell me the truth.
Where are you from?!
I'm from ok-jeo.
You wretch... I know that you're from buyeo.
You fence like the buyeo soldiers do.
Tell me the truth.
Who sent you?
Are you really from buyeo?
Tell me the truth.
Who sent you?
Prince dae-so has ordered me to kill you.
He made me disguise myself as a refugee because you accept all refugees.
I was an officer of the royal guards under prince dae-so.
Please kill me.
I'd like to say something before I die.
A long time ago, I was ordered by prince dae-so to spy on the da-mul army
when you left mt. Bon-gye to come to gyehru.
I tried to infiltrate your base and kill you,
but I was shocked to see you lead the army as if they were your own body.
I've served many leaders in buyeo, but I've never been so deeply moved.
Although you are an enemy I should kill, I respect you from the bottom of my heart.
If the gods had given me a chance to serve you before I met prince dae-so,
my life would've been different.
Shut up!
How dare you say such frivolous things!
We don't have to listen to this.
General, behead him and send his head to dae-so.
I'm not saying this to beg for my life.
I tried to kill you because prince dae-so threatened to kill my mother and siblings.
But I was happy to serve you as my lord during my stay in gyehru.
If I can be born again, I'll serve you as my lord in my next life.
Please kill me.
Untie him.
General!
Don't let him delude you with his words!
He tried to kill you.
We have to kill him!
Step aside.
Go back to buyeo.
If I don't kill you then prince dae-so will kill me.
I'd rather be killed by you than prince dae-so.
Please kill me.
Go to buyeo and tell prince dae-so that you killed me.
Prince dae-so won't believe you unless he sees my head,
but I'll help you make him believe you.
I know how much it must've been for you to save your mother and siblings.
Tell him that you killed me, and save your family.
General!
Your royal highness!
What's the matter?
Bu beo-no is back.
What happened?
I killed ju-mong.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Where's his head?
I couldn't bring his head because the soldiers found out and rushed to my side.
How do you expect us to believe that ju-mong is dead?
I drove a dagger down ju-mong's heart and saw him stop breathing.
Are you sure?
Yes!
Do you believe what bu beo-no told you?
He must've had to fight his way out of the gyehru headquarters.
But he doesn't even have a scratch.
How can you be sure that he killed ju-mong?
Na-ru.
Yes, your royal highness.
Send a message to the spy in gyehru to confirm what bu beo-no said is true.
Keep a close watch on bu beo-no and his family until we're sure.
Yes!
Prince dae-so won't believe you unless he sees my head,
but I'll help you make him believe you.
I know how much it must've been for you to save your mother and siblings.
Tell him that you killed me, and save your family.
Keep an eye on him.
Yes.
Chang'an.
Why isn't he here yet?
He should be here soon.
Let's wait a little longer.
I came all the way here like you told me to meet some people.
But I can't find anyone who wants to help me.
What's going on?
I'm just as frustrated as you are.
People are saying bad things about you.
Like what?
I'm sure you know that better than I do.
What?
Master hwang is coming.
Master hwang!
Long time no see.
Long time no see, prince.
Let's go inside.
I prepared a small feast for you.
Master hwang, I came all the way to Chang'an to ask for your help.
What is it?
Buyeo is in a great crisis right now.
We need the han's help in order to get out of this crisis.
If we work together to improve the relationship between buyeo and the han,
we'll both benefit from it.
Haven't you heard the news?
Buyeo and the han have already made an alliance while you were coming here.
All credit was given to prince dae-so.
What?
But there's still a chance for you.
I might have to go to hyeon-to.
Why?
The emperor wants to send me to hyeon-to to replace governor Yang-jeong
and punish him for misgoverning.
If I go to hyeon-to, I will help you.
Thank you.
Thank you, master hwang.
I heard you were looking for me.
I need you to go somewhere with me.
There's a tribe called eu-pru below north ok-jeo.
There are pirates in eu-pru who plunder from north ok-jeo.
I've heard of the eu-pru pirates from the people of north ok-jeo.
The criminals who have been kicked out from all sorts of tribes
and nations became pirates.
But they're too strong to subdue.
What about them?
We can use the pirates' ships and navigation skills to go south
and bring the food we need.
The eu-pru pirates are known to be vicious.
We can't be sure if they'll do as you say.
And it's hard to cross the borders despite the embargo order from the han and buyeo.
We'll form a business troop with skilled swordsmen to cross the border discreetly.
I don't know if the pirates will do as I say, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
I understand.
What happened?
We don't know the whereabouts of ju-mong.
He has not be seen in biryu, hwanna, gwanna, or yunna either.
No one needs to know where we are going.
Please take care of jol-bon while we are away.
Please take care and be safe.
Your royal highness.
What's the matter?
I received news from our spy in gyehru.
Really?
What happened?
Ju-mong didn't show up for the military training, as well as any official meetings.
He didn't show up?
You mean he's dead?
We're not sure about that, but something did happen to him.
What? Ju-mong is dead?
What's going on?
Did you really send an assassin to kill ju-mong?
Bu beo-no came back and told me that he killed ju-mong.
I'm trying to see if he's telling the truth.
If ju-mong didn't show up for any official gatherings, that means he's dead.
Think about it.
If nothing happened to him,
why wouldn't he show up at a time of crisis for jol-bon?
He should be pacifying the people.
Ju-mong's subjects are covering up his death
so that the da-mul army and jol-bon won't be in chaos.
Ju-mong is dead like bu beo-no said.
Priestess ma oo-ryeong.
Yes, prince.
Check if something bad has happened to ju-mong or not.
I understand.
What do you see?
I don't know what it means, but a dark cloud is over ju-mong and jol-bon.
I think something has happened to him.
Ju-mong is dead?
His royal highness's assassin has killed ju-mong!
Ju-mong didn't even show up to the meeting of the chiefs.
He's gone!
Where would he be if he's not dead?
Finally, I can relax.
Jong-go.
Yes, your majesty.
I must go to see yoo-hwa.
Yes.
Is Yuri frustrated because he can't go anywhere?
He never said anything about it.
He must know that we're having a hard time right now.
It pains me even more that he's not saying anything.
Mother, I've been having nightmares.
I hope nothing has happened to my husband.
You're right.
Ju-mong is dead.
It's hard to believe, but it's true.
Ju-mong has disappeared from jol-bon.
General ju-mong wouldn't die in vain.
He was ordered by the gods to unite jol-bon.
He will soon beat the han and build a new nation.
Why aren't you telling me that he's going to ruin buyeo?
I'm disappointed that you won't cry bitterly with his head in your hands,
but you will soon feel unquenchable pain when his death becomes reality.
Now that ju-mong is dead and the crisis is gone, dae-so will soon take the throne.
Mother...
Don't worry. That can't be true.
What did you just say?
My assassin in jol-bon has killed ju-mong.
Is ju-mong really dead?
Yes, I'm sure.
Father, we're forced to oppress jol-bon with the han,
but jol-bon was originally under buyeo's rule.
I will take over jol-bon before the han does.
Please let me summon the troops.
Father...
Do as you wish.
The allied forces of the han and buyeo are located at every road to ok-jeo.
We must pass ok-jeo in order to get to eu-pru, but I don't think we can do that.
We're going to attack the allied forces of the han and buyeo to get to ok-jeo.
- Get ready. - Yes.
