Stop��

They say, the castle is too disordered...

they will lead us to the temporary reception hall

Here is too large

This place does not look like a reception hall Let me find out

General, behave honorably

I am General CHOI Jung of Yongho troop, the protectors of the Koryo's envoys

Where is the MING's officials to greet us?

Remove your weapons and official attires��

KORYO murdered our diplomatic envoy

then keep dispatching spies

Now, you send us a military in the name of the envoys

You will pay for it! Tie them up!

Don't panic, and stop moving

Stay back

Throw your weapons away Anyone to disobey I will slash him!

General CHOI!

General, Don't

My duty is protecting the envoys

General CHOI Jung!

Everyone, follow what they said

General!

we are almost in the exile

Sorry for my impertinent

It's my fault...

No, it is our destiny for imprisonment

Exile is better than in prison

suffocating prison... This is better...

but here is

too hot. Ugh!

Hello

We are from KORYO

We were in the middle of exile, by MING

Are you a general from YUAN the MONGOL imperial?.

the great Cokotemure's cavalry!

General, no... do not step forward this time Don't be offensive

We don't have any grudge against the KORYO

but we cannot keep alive these MING's dogs!

Leave the KORYO's fate in their own hands. Let's go!

eneral, including the ambassador and a general Seh, we have 1 2 casualties and 23 survivors

among survivors, five are severely injured

Have everyone gather here!

How about preparing to camp out here?.

Since the ambassador died we cannot carry the duty of the envoys anymore

Now, such responsibility

If we stay here the MING troops will come

-We then explain whole story to them... -You want to keep the exile journey again?.

We should not go off our exile path

Let's follow what MING ordered. Anyway, we are the envoys of the country

We don't bring any official letter and flag. How can we prove our credibility?.

Besides, MING troops might blame us as murderer, instead of Mongols

General, we caught the stangers

Here is two

The duty of the Protector troops end now Get ready to leave, immediately!

-Get ready to leave, immediately! -Yes sir!

Here is an endless desert

Where are we going?.

To KORYO!

General, three are missing the others are all injured

Find water and food at first

Hey, Interpreter!

We must hurry and leave We all die if we stay here!

-Wake up! Hold your mind! -Let me out, let me out! !

We are leaving

General, we should look for the missing first

This trip is too hard for me

I always wanted to be buried at my home

Are you in much pain?.

Would you rest here for a while?.

No

Even if we make it to Shandong we still need a boat

It is not about time you worried

Get up

What are you doing?.

YEESOL~

General, please forgive my man

He is a foolish one... He just wants to care for me

He is a slave of the vice-ambassador

This is the Great Wall connecting to the east

It is where the MING and the YUAN are at battle

Below are villages where the MING troops are based

Avoid the village and the MING troops

Let's eliminate any chance to meet anyone

General, if we head towards the north we must confront YUAN's troops

What about here in the middle?.

It's impossible It's a desert of death

In the daytime, everything is burned

Also, it takes at least twenty days to cross

Besides, our remaining food and water will last only 6 days

To that place

we will cross within ten days

If necessary we will eat once a day and walk during the mid-night

in that case, southern desert is better we can gain three or four days

Whose territory is that?.

that is an abandon land No one could conquer the area

However, my concern is the vice-ambassador

-He is already exhausted -No one here free from suffer!

From now on, you guide us

Don't block our march

Whoever bothers our way will die by my sword!

Son of bitch!

He makes us human fry. He will kill us

Did you called me?.

As a vice-ambassador, I'm ashamed I am in such a wretched state

Take care of the group

I hope you all safely return to home....

I see

One thing that I must say

This man here

He is not a slave anymore

As I set him free, he is a freeman Treat him accordingly

Please get some sleep

Hey you, stop there!

He stole the food while standing guard

Sorry, sir

Please forgive me

No mercy to a thief in the battle

The same goes for one who is taken

Beat them twenty floggings each

Our Joojin troops only eat one piece a day We are equal to your Yongho troops

I will receive the floggings instead of him!

Do what he wants

All right. You, receive all floggings for both

Watch carefully!

You'd served in many battles with my father

Am I quite different to him?.

The times were not as difficult as now

But I am sure you will do well, sir

Will we make it safely reach at Shandong?.

Even if we return to KORYO, people scoff at...

I failed to protect the envoys I even failed to enter the castle of Nanjing

Here you go

Use when you need it

Take it

In this situation, dying is better

The vice-ambassador disappeared!

Stop him and search what he brings

The vice-ambassador has passed away!

Bury the body The horse will belong to Yongho troops

You may bury him yourself but we will take the horse

General

Keep follow the line Stop all!

Good afternoon?.

Please give us water and food

I cannot distinguish who you are

What should I do?. Should I tell them that we are the KORYO's envoys

Don't do that They don 't believe us anyway

If you want to eat you should pay for it!

-What are they saying, bastard?. -Do something. We're starving

-Tell something... -Calm down!

I cannot bear!

if you move one more step then I'll kill you right now

Would you be from KORYO?.

Monk, are you also from KORYO?.

Sir, serve food to these people I will pay for it

I am quite obliged I am a general, CHOI Jung

My Buddhist name is Jisan I am glad to have company on the way home

You, thief. How dare you touch my property?.

Uh?. You're a Mongolian soldier!

Sir

How come you bring a Mongolian sword?.

General!

A few days ago, we passed the battlefields

There were only the dead there

...Are you a Buddhist monk?. Yes

Do you know how to hold ceremony for the dead?.

Yes, I learned the Buddhist incantations as well

Would you write down the name of the dead?.

All my men were brave warriors

Just write The sons of the blue wolf

Treat the injured first

The General is coming

Have some, Princess

Would you keep refusing food?.

Did you hear that he called her princess?.

"Escape me"

my friend, what do you wish for?.

Shit! Who bring this filthy thing in here?.

You bring this thing here, didn't you?.

Get rid of it, right now

Don't kill him

He's a real fighter with spears!

Where are you from?.

Don't move. We might lose everything

he YUAN troops and the Central Asians are the confederates. They might kill us all

He has the eyes of a lion

I want to make him as my man

General he already killed five of our men

I will give you ten horses in return

You've buried this strange place You met with a wrong place and time. God bless you!

If you insist on the difficult path I will joint you

No need for that

I am familiar with these locations and might be help to you

Now we finished to bury Shall we leave now?.

We should wait here

The YUAN troops will pass through this place

we will save the princess!

Don't you say that we are heading towards KORYO sir?.

That was my intention until yesterday

However, we are the diplomatic envoys

If we help the MING dynasty we could enter the castle of Nanjing with grand welcome

It won't be late for us to return home after that

a reckless plan! YUAN troops are the strongest one in the world

Please reconsider General

I made my decision during whole night

Let's try

Daejung!

We have to save Yeesol man as well

We will attack them on both sides The Yongho troops and I will attack from the bottom

You with others ambush them from another side

-Now go -Shit, no! They are coming right there

We will attack them all together!

General, we don't have any chance to win

We can do it

General

All hide yourselves

Daejung!

Now is our chance

Attack the horses first

Save the Princess

Interpreter, Interpreter, sir... Go away get away from me I say

what an idiot

I am General CHOI Jung to protect the KORYO's envoys

Get up

The emperor calls me princess Buyong

You do not look like the envoys

I also thought a princess lived in the palace your highness

Take me to the castle of Nanjing as soon as possible

If you safely escort me at there the emperor will award you greatly

We did save you, now we are responsible for you to protect as well

Your highness

It is our total victory, sir

Are you ok?.

I am PARK Jumyung I haven't entered official post yet

to that man in black

Hey! The princess wants you to guard her carriage

Sir, the princess wants that man to guard the carriage

I will give you a mission

Guard the princess carriage

I will go to see the place where master is buried

You can talk... you can talk...

I am ordering you again guard the carriage

I am a free man now I will do as I please

General, don't be upset

I don't need a slave who forgot his place

But the vice-ambassador has set him free, sir

He was out of mind on the brink of death

Once is a slave will be forever a slave That is the law of KORYO!

Stop it

We will leave this bastard here

Everyone, mount your own horses

General, there is one girl who has survived

She is a Chinese slut. Leave her behind

General, mercy is the virtue of the great man

This is not any of your concern All decisions will be mine

Take all with us

General

That is the most beautiful name I've ever heard

I am PARK Jumyung

You have cute eyes

You wicked one! As a person of the envoys

you don't have any regret in this predicament

play with a woman instead

What responsibilities do I carry?.

I am just an interpreter

How come you regret at all These miscellaneous readings are in vain

what?.

you are the one who ruined the country and accumulated wealth in Buddhist temple...

How dare you mention the Confucius as miscellaneous readings?.

What an egotistic views the Confucius is best

Hope for wonderful world is in every teaching

The Confucius's words were spread all over the world

Open your eyes you should know the principles of the world?.

The first time I made a love was under the full moon

She was sixteen, I was eighteen

Every evening we met on the hills

Then one day, she became pregnant

and we got married Five days later, I was gone on an expedition

Was it a son or a daughter?.

When I left, she was eight months pregnancy she might give a birth now

I miss my wife so much

Is he ok?.

Get some sleep. I will take care of him

Tomorrow, he can recover, your highness

Where are you heading?.

To KORYO, your highness

The general team and yours seem not get along well

In this kind of long journey many things might happen

Take good care of him

Thank you, your highness

Do not worry about the vice ambassador

He was buried the place open to sunshine

Do you have any family at home?.

I am alone

From now on, you are not alone

We will go together

Get out, everyone I have something to talk with Rambulhwa

Do me a favor

Please name it

Why did you help me?.

You might have resent the MING Empire for exile

Personal concerns and the public affair That 's two different issues

If you help us see the emperor

I can resolve the misunderstanding about our envoys

What is the name of that man walking behind?.

He is a just slave, your highness

I asked his name

They're coming

They're after us

Where are they now?.

They're moving really fast, sir

How many are they?.

Over a hundred, sir

We don't have much time We have to leave at once

We cannot avoid them What can we do, General?.

We'll lure them to the carriage

That's good idea, sir

Who will carry this carriage

I'll do

Give me two soldiers of Yongho troop

No, in this time, drive it by the person who didn't fight

no, no I'm just an interpreter

And I never drove a carriage before

He is too young, sir

It has been decided

How come it's always us, the Joojin soldiers?.

Why do you keep quiet, captain?.

He even didn 't know his baby

Someone has to drive the carriage

Put that boy on the carriage

Daejung Captain

We'll make them think the princess is in the carriage

Wear it

Please help me

-You can help me, can't you?. -I am sorry

Let me go with you

Make a detour on the mountain, after that' you can see the Hwangho River

We will wait for you there

Please take these, return to the master 's family

We will meet

Take care of Dansaeng

You go for the princess

Never forget your duty is to protect the princess. It's me

Be sure, you return to me

Stop

We will walk from here

Put together your horses for them not to discover us

What if Dansaeng doesn't come back?.

The Mongolians are not stupid. They 'll come after us sooner or later

I'll be right behind you

The princess isn't in the carriage

There can't be only one soldier guarding her

They are heading for the Hwangho river to crosse the mountain

If so, it's impossible for us to find them

They eventually will cross the Hwangho river

Burn all village and the ferry beyond the mountain

so make nobody cross the river

yes!

What about him?.

follow and kill him

Hurry, lets go

Hurry, lets go

It's the Mongolian soldiers

Dansaeng

Dansaeng

Throw that robe away and run. Now

Go, now! Hurry, run

Go! And run

Yeosol

Yeosol

Yeosol

Yeosol

I am so sorry

Get up

I served two years against the north

and two years to fighting the Japanese

Altogether it was four years in the military

When I got back only rat shit was in the kitchen

Shit! So I went to the head officer

and hit him with my head, bang

So did they force you to choose between imprisonment or military service?.

How did you know that?.

It is so obvious

Don't go back at all

I heard that there is a KORYO village in Beijing

I will go back no matter what

My wife is waiting for me

Guess your wife is awfully pretty?.

She is like a fat bear

Yet, for me, she is the prettiest one in the world

What about you?. Don't you miss your wife?.

How many times do I have to tell you?. I'm not married, yet

I see

What happen?.

As we expected

Sir, come

Be patient, even if it may be freeZing That is if you don't want to call the Mongolian troops

It was not my intention to wake you up. I apologiZe, your highness

I had a dream

I was already in the Royal Palace

Once we cross the Hwangho river, we will escort you to the castle of Nanjing

Daejung tells me that this group is heading towards Shandong

Believe me. I will keep my word, your highness

Does the carriage return to us?.

I am sure it will do, your highness

They aren't here, sir

Divide the soldiers into smaller groups and search them each area

What about the people here?.

We should kill them as they have seen us

Not a single soul is at the ferry

check again for sure

Why aren't we going down?.

first we will move under the valley

Ha-il

Go round to check and return

What is it?.

the enemy are hiding near the ferry

Kill everyone who tries to cross the river

It seems that we have to give up Dungju as well as Nanjing

Who are they, huh?.

I didn't have any intention

to bring them here

They just followed me from the ferry

Now, the YUAN troops will find us any moment

We should have kicked them out then

stop

Stop it

Don't you hear the word, 'stop' ?.

I never thought I would see you here, your highness

I have something to discuss with both of you

Let's cross the river when a night falls

Yes... it is too far to Dungju

It would be better to go to Balhae Bay and find a ferry boat there

Are you saying that we should cross the sea by a ferry boat?.

If you can pass through the YUAN cavalry, then go by yourself

after crossing the Hwangho river

What if does the general insist on escort the princess to the castle of Nanjing then?.

Are you craZy?. We have to return to KORYO

In fact, the princess brings us all problems

Besides, now it seems we have to take all those people along as well

We have a good news

Five days later, we'll meet the fortress on the coast where the MING troops are based

The princess says if we escort her and her people there

she will arrange for us a boat, which will take us to KORYO

Let us accept her offer

Do we wait for the carriage, don't you?.

Do you think they will come back alive?.

Nobody go back to KORYO without a boat

With the MING troops, we are safe enough

Also, MING's emperor would know what we help her

The YUAN troops never give the princess up

but it is true that we need a boat

I will follow your opinion, general

Good

Get up

But

we do have to wait for the people who was in carriage

We all agreed, your highness

If your decision is out of pity, then return everything back to where it was

It is not the time for pity

Prepare to leave

Stay Joojin troops here

You will leave when Yeosol and Dansaeng return

You've been in the military long enough to know

what the result of disobey to a general's orders...

General to a general's orders...

we should wait until this evening passes

Dansaeng is coming

You came back alive

You're alright?. are you ok?.

I've been waiting for you so much

Welcome to return

It stained with the YUAN troops

I am glad you returned alive

I did not wish to award a slave such an honorable death

The noble tend to have useless thoughts

Shouldn't we arrange a horse for the princess?.

She is not the princess of KORYO

The princess wants to ride in a palanquin It is out of the question

Get thick wood, now

It is foolish

Daejung

Let's carry it

Hey, captain

Why should we carry that thing

Someone has to carry it

Hurry

My soles are as parched as the back of a turtle

We don't have much time

shit

I'll carry it

~ the morning mountain at home, white bird sing a song ~

~ I want to hear the song, wish to go back home~

idiot! Remember the YUAN troops right behind us

I am sorry

Your voice is louder than hers, monk

She's just trying to comfort the children why are you so picky?.

Aren't you worried about the children?.

If you are that thoughtful, you wouldn't be playing around with the prostitute

if the YUAN troops catch us those children are the first victims

and you are also the first one who runs off

What?.

What do you know about me?.

Silly one

Look at yourself

We've walked all day, but only come 1 2 kilometers

With this speed it'll take more than twenty days

Brother, I don't understand at all

How can be you still alone with this age?. no one waiting for you at home?.

I really don't have anyone. Really

Do you have any girl of your heart?.

HA Il, you also miss your wife, don 't you?.

He's still a bachelor

How many times I told you?.

You haven't sex with a girl, don't you?.

why don't you get married until now?.

I took the wrong pills when he was young

Yeah, he has still a child's

Would you like to try this?.

No

Hey, hey...

hey granny~ comes back

She is an distracted old lady

Since her son was killed at the ferry No one can take care of her

How can we care about an old one like her?.

Bring her here. She is also one of my people

Who are you?. Let me go

I'll carry her on my back

Tens of soldiers are coming to this way, sir

Did they find us?.

I am afraid so

Then let's just take the princess

If we take the others along, we'll all die

He's right We'll just take the princess and Yooran

We must keep the promise to the princess

We bring all of them along

The YUAN cavalry are faster than the wind

Even a hunter takes care of an animal
