King Geunchogo

Episode 22

She's nowhere to be found.

We searched Gaoping and Cheonghawon,

but we can't find her anywhere.

Where did she go?

I know she's your sister, but what's the big deal?

We need to figure out a way to fight the Zhao soldiers.

What do you know?

She never went anywhere without telling me.

Don't worry.

She is a bright person.

[ VIP Guest House, Yedu: capital of Zhao ]

It won't come undone so easily.

There will be 2,000 soldiers.

If we give up, all our people will die.

It must be the one-eyed prince.

Are you the bandit with Prince Yeogu?

I'm not a bandit.

I'm a descendent of King Mayeo.

I'm a princess just like you.

What are you doing?

There is a horse at the rear gate.

You're letting me go?

The Amijeon Highness is trying to set the bandits free.

I saw Dandani prepare a message.

It must be for Prince Yeogu.

Should I get it?

I'll tell Annamjanggun about this. Get the court physician.

Here.

Give this to Prince Yeogu.

Your Highness, please reconsider.

Just let it be. You'll be in danger if you let them go.

Dandan, stop it. There's no time.

You are married to the King of Goguryeo.

Why are you worried about another man?

That's a bit excessive.

You're being excessive.

Your father killed the prince's father.

What do you expect by sending a message?

How dare you say that to the queen?

The prince and I are engaged.

This ring belonged to his mother.

He gave it to me.

I'll take good care of him, so don't worry about him.

It's nothing that will upset you. Just give it to Yeogu.

You're really something.

You're not even jealous.

What is the chief minister doing?

He let the bandits go.

Then he wants us to take care of it?

One is injured. They couldn't have gotten far.

Yes, sir.

I am in Yedu as en envoy for Goguryeo.

I found out that they are going to attack Jincheng and Gaoping.

Zou Yingbo is bringing 2,000 soldiers.

Forget about defending the fortresses.

You need to stay alive.

Leave before the soldiers arrive.

I'm begging you.

Your safety comes first.

Over here.

Drag them out.

I'll cut off their heads and send them to Yeogu.

We have to find the queen's message first.

Why?

We can use it to get Prince Yeogu outside the fortress.

[ Jincheng Fortress, Liaoxi ]

Hongran!

What's wrong with Chihui?

Open the gate.

Chihui!

She was stabbed. Chihui!

Where have you been?

Who stabbed Chihui?

There's no time to explain.

Let's go to Prince Yeogu.

2,000 soldiers?

I heard Zou Yingbo say so.

They're sending 2,000 soldiers?

There's no way.

There must be a reason.

I think the reason is the prince.

What do you mean?

Hongran said Hae Geon and the prince with one eye were with Zou Yingbo.

So what? 2,000 soldiers are coming.

We have to give up the fortresses.

I have never backed away from anything,

but I believe he is right.

Where would you go after abandoning the fortresses?

Let's go to Cheonghawon.

The soldiers will come there too. Cheonghawon doesn't have any walls.

It's better to stay here. How will we fight 2,000 soldiers?

If you lose Jincheng, you will not be able to raise Buyeo again.

Soldiers can attack you anywhere.

They'll come to a fortress in Dongjin.

Yan and Goguryeo will attack you in a fortress in Liaodong.

Prince.

Were you joking when you said you would take their flag and own both fortresses?

I'm just saying we should avoid a battle we will lose to prevent sacrifices.

Leave if you want.

I won't stop you, but the soldiers of Cheonghawon will stay.

- Prince. - Prince.

[ Outskirts of Yedu ]

We are headed to Jincheng and Gaoping.

We will cut off the heads of the bandits and hang them up!

Let's go!

Prince, we're in trouble.

Now what? You say that every time you barge in.

What's more trouble than 2,000 soldiers?

That's why I came.

What is it?

The soldiers left Yedu. They're headed here.

So soon?

We could let them have the fortress temporarily.

I already said I wouldn't abandon the fortress.

What good would it do to be buried here?

You're not fighting Goguryeo or Bu Yeojun.

I'm not scared for my life,

but I don't want to die a useless death.

Even Wi Birang said we should leave.

Danbeomhoe doesn't need these fortresses, but we do.

Why do you want them so badly?

If we take the Yellow River to the west coast from here,

Michuhol isn't far.

Baekje has Ungniha and Horoha.

It is a country of water.

We need these fortresses to return to Baekje.

If we can't come up with a plan until the soldiers get here,

I'm going to get you out of here.

It is my duty to protect you.

Father, help me.

You told me to take the west coast and the continent.

I'm trying to achieve your will.

Tell me how to protect Jincheng.

What are you praying for in a shrine of the Jie people?

It doesn't matter whose shrine it is.

It's the praying heart that's important.

Aren't you curious about the Queen of Goguryeo?

I guess not.

I'll leave then.

Did she look alright?

She's pretty enough to captivate men.

She said to give you this.

Will you leave me?

Sure.

Just sit and read that whether Zhao soldiers come or not.

Zou Yingbo is coming with 2,000 soldiers.

Flee the fortress and come to Yedu.

I would like to see you once before I return to Goguryeo.

I trust you'll come. I'll be waiting.

[ Hanseong Palace, Baekje ]

Eoraha has two of his own sons.

Why is he designating Yeochan...

Hello.

Did you hear the rumor that Wanwoldang joined the Jin clan?

I thought the Hae clan was going to rule, but the Jin clan is back.

Who are we supposed to support?

You were designated crown prince 17 years ago and again today.

It's all thanks to you.

I won't forget what happened.

I'll keep my guard up until I become Eoraha.

It would be nice if Yeosan was here.

I miss him, too. He must be suffering.

He's wandering in Liaoxi in this cold weather.

You couldn't be Eoraha and Yeosan lost an eye.

All of that is Yeogu's fault.

Hae Geon said 2,000 soldiers are going to Jincheng to kill Yeogu.

Yeosan will return when Yeogu is dead.

He must return soon.

What did you do?

How could you let this happen? You have to stop this.

Stop it.

Did you join forces with Hae Sosul because she is the first queen?

I said stop it!

Yeomin.

You're making me even more pathetic.

- Where are you going? - Hyungnim!

Being designated crown prince isn't everything.

What more is there?

Biryu tried to have the crown prince removed too.

Being designated crown prince doesn't mean he can become Eoraha.

Can you be sure of that?

I will make sure that Prince Yeomin becomes the next Eoraha.

I will not see Hae Sosul's son become the 13th Eoraha of Baekje.

I'll remember that.

The oldest son of the previous Eoraha and Wanwoldang, Bu Yeochan,

is designated crown prince to strengthen the future of Baekje.

The crown prince will step forward and bow to Eoraha.

Our ancestors, Buyeo, didn't have the custom of succeeding

the throne to a son or designating a son as the crown prince.

What would become of the country if blood was the only factor?

It is best for Baekje to have an able person succeed the throne.

My great-grandfather, King Goi, was King Chogo's younger brother.

From now on, King Chogo's descendants and

King Goi's descendants will take turns becoming Eoraha.

I will follow in the wonderful custom of my ancestors.

I'm designating the oldest son of the previous Eoraha as crown prince.

He is also appointed the supreme commander.

The officials of Namdang will serve the crown prince well.

We will obey your command.

The crown prince will support me and put Baekje on a pedestal.

I will support you fully and fulfill my duties.

[ King Biryu's Grave ]

Is this where you were?

Why didn't you go to your brother's ceremony?

Why didn't you go?

It is almost time for me to join your father in that grave.

Grandfather.

But not you. It wasn't time to put your sword down yet.

I don't know what to do.

Grandfather.

I'm sorry, but you have to find your own answer.

The crown prince is your older brother.

What can I tell you?

There is a division of national opinion.

People don't know what is truly good for Baekje.

They are only seeking personal gain and going against Eoraha's will.

Opposing the surrender of the Daebang land to Goguryeo

isn't for personal gain, it is for Baekje's benefit.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm saying this for Baekje's sake.

Keep quiet.

The crown prince will deal with the border matter.

I will obey your command.

Eoraha...

- Yeomin. - Let go!

You can't act like this in front of your mother.

This is who I am, a fool.

You are a fool.

You should cut off Yeochan's head instead of drinking.

Be quiet!

Yeomin, being designated crown prince isn't everything.

It's not over.

Why did you make Yeochan the supreme commander?

How about a drink?

Ever since I was five or six,

I heard you criticize Biryu and Heukganggong.

You hated them so much. I really hated that.

You seemed so pathetic.

Yeomin.

Let him talk.

Biryu was bold and like a mountain. My father was so small.

Is that how you felt?

You are Eoraha now, but I have become small like you were then.

I'll be pathetic and mad and criticize Yeochan.

Jwapyeong Hae said

being designated crown prince wasn't everything.

That's not true.

Biryu died trying to have Yeochan removed.

Father is weaker than Biryu and Yeochan is stronger than before.

It will be impossible to remove him as crown prince.

I might be weak, but I'm smart enough to know that much.

You're right.

Order me to take my life.

Yeomin.

I can't keep my head up in this palace anymore.

I don't want to live with such humiliation.

You gave me this life.

I can't take it without your approval.

Show mercy and order me to take my life.

Yeomin! Yeomin!

Yeomin.

We will begin defensive training.

Stop. How many times do I have to tell you?

The enemy will be right outside. You should know the flag signals.

They're not elite soldiers.

My soldiers don't even know battle information.

How could they?

Drink some warm water. We'll start over.

We did everything you said.

You wanted to attack the two fortresses, so we did.

You wanted to gather the drifters, so we did.

But I won't let you order us around this time.

You're going to leave the fortress?

It's been a day since they passed Jiaozuo.

They will be here in a day.

If you don't come up with a play by sunrise, I will leave with everyone.

Fine.

Prince.

Hongran!

Did you forget about what we swore together?

I didn't forget.

The owner of this seal must not be Prince Yeogu or Wi Birang.

I'll search all of Huabei and Malgal if I have to.

I will find your successor.

Oh, my back.

I picked up rocks all day. I feel dizzy.

Hang in there.

We don't have enough arrows. We need rocks.

Prince.

You're working hard. Where is Yeombo?

He went to get whale oil with Palbok and Jachul.

Wait, do you think he ran away?

You came out here?

Ah, yes. I thought I could help pick up rocks.

The wind is cold.

The sand from the Yellow River is in the air. It stings my eyes.

My hometown is near Monggori.

There were many sand storms from Hanhae.

They'll come through the south gate or the north gate.

The gates are all weak.

They could break them down easily.

Did you find out what strategy Zou Yingbo uses?

Wi Birang said we would leave if we don't have a plan by sunrise.

He will leave with the drifters.

Zou Yingbo's strategy is not the problem right now.

If he leaves with the Buyeo people, we will have less than 200 to fight.

We can't fight 2,000 soldiers.

You are late.

Did you buy plenty of whale oil?

It's really expensive. We didn't get much.

We should have plenty of whale oil.

There's a drought at Hanhae. It's hard to find oil.

What does a drought in a desert have to do with whale oil?

Do whales live in the desert?

There isn't enough oil for cows, pigs and sheep in Monggori.

That's why whale oil prices jumped.

[ Outside Jincheng Fortress, Zhao Camp ]

Jincheng and Gaoping both have weak gates.

There was no reason for strong gates since there have been no battles here.

Are you going to attack both fortresses at once?

Gaoping defends the west of Jincheng.

If Jincheng falls, Gaoping will also fall.

There is no reason to divide up the soldiers.

He's right about that.

Concentrate our forces and attack the south gate.

We'll leave early in the morning after the soldiers eat.

We have to arrive at Jincheng before the sun sets tomorrow.

We will do as you ordered.

What will you do?

Zou Yingbo will arrive tomorrow and set up camp.

He will attack the fortress when the sun rises the next day.

Pack up.

We're leaving as soon as the sun rises.

Prince, Danbeomhoe is packing up.

[ Modikkol: border between Goguryeo and Yan ]

Why isn't there any news from Yedu?

We have to stall until Zhao attacks Yan from behind.

Your Majesty, Muronghuang won't wait until then.

Go to Nampyeongyangseong.

You must not stay here any longer.

I will not go.

You can't do that Your Majesty. Yan has 30,000 soldiers.

You must go to Nampyeongyangseong before war breaks out.

Are you telling me to retreat?

You want me to abandon Gungnaeseong

and flee to Nampyeongyangseong?

Nothing will be of any use if you are not safe.

Gungnaeseong isn't as important as you are.

Send Gu Bu to Nampyeongyangseong.

Your Majesty!

I am going to defend Modikkol.

If I die in this battle, put Gu Bu on the throne and continue on.

Your Majesty!

Please reconsider.

Divide the soldiers into five units and set up a defensive formation.

Na Man will command Unit 1.

Ko Chisu, Unit 2.

Sou, Unit 3.

I will command Unit 4.

Ko Noja will command Unit 5.

Your Majesty, how can I stand behind you?

Even if I die, you must survive.

You know Yan best. You are the only person who can stop them.

I have made my decision!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Muronghuang!

The sun is rising.

My hometown is near Monggori.

There were many sand storms from Hanhae.

Father, I found a way.

Prince.

What's going on?

I know a way to defend the fortresses.

Stop Wi Birang.

Wait! Wait!

- Let's just go. - Ajikai!

Maybe they want to say goodbye.

Don't leave.

The prince has a strategy.

We'll use the yellow sand blowing from Hanhae.

No way.

There isn't any yellow sand in this winter.

We should hear him out.

Let's go in.

Let's say there is yellow sand.

Let's say you can block their vision.

How can you be sure the wind will blow?

Everyone knows there is a wind is Liaoxi before the winter solstice.

We sailed the ocean.

We know nature better than you.

We never saw yellow sand in winter.

There is a drought in Hanhae. How can you expect a strong wind?

Go to the river and see.

The sandy wind is from the Yellow River.

It's a signal that yellow sand is coming.

We can't risk our lives on a strategy that isn't certain.

- I'm going to. - Boss!

If there is one bit of hope in your plan,

I won't give up the two fortresses.

Put more salt in it.

Spread it out evenly.

Hurry up.

In a straight line.

Pour plenty of whale oil.

This is the only place for a camp of 2,000 soldiers.

You're right.

I hope your plan works.

The yellow sand will come.

It must or we will all die here.

We don't have enough food.

What if they surround the fortress and don't attack to make us starve?

We have to make them attack.

Do you have a plan?

We have to make them attack.

The squad will die if yellow sand doesn't come.

They could die even if there is yellow sand.

If the heavens help us, we'll see who takes their flag

and who becomes the true owner of the two fortresses.

I will go on the squad.

Gugeom.

I will get the flag for you.

Both commanders will step forward.

You will swear with deer blood to protect Jincheng.

You will give your life for Dongmyeongdansa.

I will give my life for Dongmyeongdansa.

We won't forget our loyalty.

Our lives were given from the heavens.

We will leave our lives to the heavens now.

Hae Geon and Yeosan are here too.

The bandits will listen.

The commander of the Zhao army orders you to surrender!

I should say hello to the commander.

Give me an arrow.

Sir!

I guess we can forget about the yellow sand.

Let me just say one thing before I die.

I was embarrassed that our boss didn't give Gaoping back to the prince.

Don't think of dying. Think of living.

Attack the south gate.

Unit 1 will go up on ladders, Unit 2 will use arrows and Unit 3 spears.

We can't wait any longer.

It's here.

How did it go?

I wonder what is it that you really want to know.
