Episode 12

Are you prepared to die?

You bastard!

Don't stop, sir.

Harm will come to you
if I'm left alive.

Strike me.

Aren't you afraid of death?

I am afraid.

But you are
the pillar of this country.

I am a lowly, uneducated man,

but it frightens me
more to think that

I could put the country in danger
by bringing you harm.

Now strike and end my life.

You and I will get old
and die someday.

Someone will have to protect and

lead Goguryeo when we are gone.

But who?

Our mild-mannered King?

The self-seeking lords
of the royal court?

Or do you have your sons in mind
to lead this country?

This is my reason.

All I want is for another
great man like Yeon Gaesomun

to follow your path
and protect this country!

Do you believe that imperial
energy of the stars alone

can protect this country?

I know little about the stars.

But if this child was sent
to us by Heavens,

isn't that enough?

He was sent to us to fill our shoes

when you and I are dead and gone.

To protect our country Goguryeo!

Leave Pyongyang at once.

If you stay here,

you can only live as Gaedong
for the rest of your life.

If you want to break off
the yoke that restrains you,

leave Pyongyang
and go to a bigger place.

Sir... !
But remember this.

If you wish to reclaim
the name Dae Joyoung,

you will have to stun me
and the world.

You will not be Dae Joyoung

until I acknowledge that you are.

Sir... !

I'm letting Gaedong go free.
What do you mean, Father?

Let him go free?

We will leave it at that.

I will hear no more about it.
Father!

I said I will hear no more about it!

We can't let Gaedong go free.

If Bu Kiwon should find out
about this,

it will come back to
haunt my father.

But,

His Eminence doesn't
want the boy dead.

Let Gaedong go for now.

Follow him.

And when he's out of the city,
we will kill him.

Do you understand?
Yes, sir.

We never thought you'd
get out of there alive.

God is watching over you.

It's Heaven's will!

Have you decide where to go?

If you have nowhere to go,

we can look into it for you.

No. sir.

I've already decided
my destination.

Where would that be?

To General Dae Jungsang
in Goryeo fort.

It is rumored that
Tang China is about

to start a war.

The road to Goryeo Fort
will be terribly dengerous.

Go to Ansi Castle instead.

You will be better off staying
with General Yang Manchun.

I have caused enough trouble
for everyone.

There is no doubt my presence will

cause General Yang
great harm as well.

I was told there was a vast and
boundless land beyond Goryeo Fort.

I would like to see Great Wall
and China for my self.

You probably want to meet General

Dae Jungsang more than anything.

I suppose danger will be everywhere

if there is a war.

It's only right that
you should seek your father.

It will soon be morning.

You should pack your things.

Did you pack the map to Goryeo Fort?
Yes.

I don't know how to thank you
for everything, master.

You don't need to thank me.

Be careful.

We will see each other
again someday.

Let's go!

Are you sure?

I saw them going after
Gaedong with my own eyes!

You mean Namseng is trying
to kill Gaedong?

I'm sure of it.

I'll go after them
and try to stop them.

Report this to
the Supreme Commander.

The Supreme Commander?

He's only one
who can stop Namseng.

There is no time. Go!

My father took pity on you,

but I can't let you go free.

Don't take this personally.

Protecting my father is
protecting this country.

If you had died
when you were supposed to,

it wouldn't have come to this...

Master!

What is the meaning of this?

His Excellency's orders were
to let Gaedong go.

Stay out of this!

I'm carrying out the
Supreme Commander's order.

What? My father's order?
Yes.

His Excellency knows
what you are doing.

How could my father know?

I see. You must have squealed.

Gom Mojam, how dare you!

Get out of here. Now!

Master...

Go!

You should go back now.

Gaedong is gone,

so His Excellency will not
reprimand you about this.

Go after Gaedong.

Go after him and kill him!

Yes, sir! Come!

Are you going to defy
your father's order?

Sir!

If I survive my father's reprimand,

I will not forget this.

Gom Mojam...

I will remember your arrogant stare.

Stop!

You reckless fool!

How could you
take my word so lightly?

How dare you defy your father!

You are my eldest son!

I was only trying to
protect you, father.

Silence!

If I let him go,

it's because there is a reason
to let him go.

How dare you go
above my head run wild!

Heuk Sudol, Your Excellency.
Enter!

Heuk Sudol, Your Excellency.
Enter!

What happened?

Did you capture Gaedong?

Did you kill Gaedong?

We. . we lost him.

You lost him?

Is this the truth?
Yes, sir.

He jumped off a cliff and...

A cliff?

Did you look for a body?

We searched below the cliff,

but. . my guess is
he got away alive.

You may leave.

Namseng,

you will succeed me

as the Supreme Commander
of Goguryeo someday.

It makes no sense that
you would defy your father

to go after a lowly serf.

Tang chinese have assembled

a massive army in Yingzhou.

Soon there will be a war.

And you will have important work
to do in this war.

I need you to be prepared.
Do you understand?

Yes, father.

Yangzhou, Yang Military Base

Get out of my way! Aweless bastards!

What are you doing here in Yingzhou?

What am I doing here?

A military general is attending
a strategy meeting.

Is there something wrong with that?

Such crude ignorance!

All of you, this is low.

Did you think that
I wouldn't find you

If you coome to Yingzhou without me?
That's enough!

What are you waiting for?

Get him out of here!

Let go. Let go of me!

Get away, you aweless bastards!

I know you don't like me no, no,

you think I'm less than dirt.

But I axpect you to differentiate
between official and private affairs.

I want to know the real reason

why you're leaving me out.

You are not a warrior.

What do you mean, chancellor?

Then what am I? A scholar?

A true warrior would never ride

an the Empress coattails!

Have any of you ever said

a word of kindness to me?

The Empress is the only one
who has ever been kind to me

since Emperor Taizong's death.

Even dogs wag their tails
at those who like them.

What do you expect?
Such repulsive talk!

Leave this meeting at once!

I'm going to fight in this war
whether you like it or not.

If you won't give me
an army to lead,

I will put on a mask
and fight alone!

I heard enough out of you!

How dare you...

What are you doing!
Get him out here!

Chancellor!
What did I ever do to you?

Let go of me! Wait just a minute!

I vowed at Emperor Taizong's grave

that I would reduce
Goguryeo to ashes,

and you are not going to stop me!

I'm going on this expedition
whether you like it or not!

How dare you! Let me go!
How come...

How did such a crude and ignorant man
ever become a warrior of Tang?

Still, there's no one better when

it comes to leading
the advance guards.

If I say he can't fight,
he can't fight!

At any rate,

there are some concerns
about Liaodong region.

What kind of concerns?

There are report of increased
military activities between bases

including minitions transportation.

I'm sure they are fully
prepared for us.

The chief commander of
Liaodong region

is none other than Yang Manchun.

Yang Manchun...

We will avenge
our treacherous defeat

at Ansi Castle without fail.

Without fail!

Wagons of weapons and provisions
continue to come in.

Everyone is prepared for war

including the civilians.

Liaodong Fort is
fully prepared as well.

General, you look troubled.

Goryeo Fort...
Goryeo Fort is the problem.

Dae Jungsang is still there
at his post in Guryeo Fort.

That region might as well be enemy
territory under these circumstances.

Unless something is done,

him and his men will be
entirely wiped out.

It slipped my mind busily
preparing for war.

General,

we must put them out of there now.

It's not as simple as
it soundswith

the Tang army in Yingzhou.

Then are we sit
here doing nothing?

We have to find a way.

Dae Jungsang and his men

gave their best years
for the country.

We can't let them die alone
so far from home.

We must save them.

Goryeo Fort

It's not too late, sir.

we can turn to Liaodong alive.

We protected this fort
for many years

at the order of the court.

We cannot abandon it

unless we are ordered
to do by the court.

But, sir...

Tang will soon launch a war.

This Goryeo Fort is without
question Goguryeo territory.

Does it matter where
we fight the war from?

I know Dae Jungsang.

He will not abandon Goryeo and

come back without a retreat order.

But how we do deliver the order?

Not only is it too far,

but the Tang army blocking the way.

Who would take such an assignment?

General, I will go.

I will go to Goryeo Fort and
bring Jungsang and his men back.

Yoe are commander of an army.

You are needed here
to fight the war.

But we can't just sit back

wth our arms crossed
like a spectator.

I will go.

You, Gulsabiwu?

Give me the order, sir.

You could lose your life.

Are you still willing?

Your orders are to be obeyed.

There is nothing else
to think about.

Give me your permission, general.

The chancellor will not allow it.

But you are the superior
Commander if this expedition.

The ultimate decision is yours.

Soldiers have already been assigned.

I have no men to give you.

There're hundreds
of thousand of soldiers

and not one for me?

This isn't right.

you are not entirely
without options.

There is a Khitan tribes

in the northern region of Yingzhou.

All of the other khitan tribes have
cooperated with us and sent us aid,

but they are refusing
to join the expedition.

Perhaps you can persuade them.

Are you telling me make them
join the war

and put them under my command?

Yes.

You're a Khitan as well,

so they will related to you.

Yes, I am a Khitan,

but there are so many
different tribes

and we live scattered
throughout the vast land...

They are very proud
and aggressive people.

Only way you can fight
in this war is

by bringing them
under your command

Very well, sir,
I will give it a shot.

There's more.

If you succeed in acquiring
an army for yourself,

go to Goryeo Fort.

Goryeo Fort?

You mean that tiny fort under

Goguryeo control
south of the Great Wall?

They have a small defense force

but they are a great nuisance to us.

You can join the main force once

you have subjugated Goryeo Fort.

Yes, sir, I will do as you ask.

I will do whatever I have to do.

Just give me an opportunity
to fight Goguryeo, general.

What the...

General,

What?
Do you know what you are up against?

These are people who won't
even flinch at the threat of war.

How can you possibly persuade
them to come under you?

You're just looking for an axcuse
not to come with me.

General...

I started with nothing
and came this far.

Xue Rengui can do anything

as long as
it doesn't cost any money!

General. .
Oh, stop calling me that.

General? What general?

I haven't got
a soldier to my name!

Let's go.

General!

Entire Yingzhou is a
Tang military base right now.

You must go around it.

Do you understand?
Yes, general.

Deliver this
to General Dae Jungsang.

Remember.

Thousand of soldiers lives are
in your hands, Gulsabiewu.

I will not forget it, sir.

Go.

Will he be able to accomplish
this critical mission?

Gulsabiwu is the fastest and
most capable warrior in Liaodong.

If he can't do it,
no one can.

While Gulsabiwu headed
for Goryeo Fort,

Tang warrior Xue rengui
was on his way

to Khitan tribe in the northern
region of Yingzhou.

It was critical that Gulsabiwu
gets to Goryeo Fort first

and deliver Yang Manchun's
retreat order

before Xue Rengui arrives
with a Khitan army.

But Dae Jungsang of Goryeo Fort

was unware if his imminent danger.

Just then,

a young man from Goguryeo
enters Khitan territory.

How dare you!

Where did you come from?

Answer me!

This is mine now.

Yingzhou, Khitan Camp

What?

My daughter Chulin has
captured a Goguryeo spy?

I'm proud of you, my daughter!

So, why is this spy's mission?

He hasn't said a word yet.

You mean he is a deaf-mute?

I dan't think so, but...
Father, let me take him.

You, Chulin?

He is my first catch,

si I'm going to make him my slave.

so you can do whatever you please.

But his eyes...

He is a dangerous man.

Keep a close eye in him.

Yes, Khan
But first,

I want you to find out
why he is here.

Khan!

Khan, a Tang warrior just arrived.

ATang warrior?

No doubt they're pressing for us

to help them with
their expedition again.

Send him back.

But man is not
just any Tang warrior.

His name is Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui?

You mean he's a Khitan?

Yes, Khan.

Xue rengui...

Yes, I've heard of him.

See him.

You can talk about
your frustrations with Tang.

Let's see how long you
can keep your mouth shut.

Would you?

Your eyes change
when you see this necklace.

Is it that important to you?

Perhaps I will return it to you

if you say you will be my slave.

Go on. Beg for mercy.

Beg me to return it to you.

I heard how stubborn and

insensible Goguryeo men are.

But you will break down eventually.

You've traveled a long way.

Please sit down.
No, Khan. After you.

You are our guest.

We may be a nomadic tribe,
but we do know our manners.

If you insist...

I've heard a lot about you,
Geneal Xue.

You are a self-made
warrior of Tang.

I am quite impressed.

Oh, you are too kind.

You brought the regoin's
tribes together

and united them as one.

Now that is impressive.

It was a job that had to be done

for the future of Khitan.

We finnaly brought the scattered
tribes together,

and now Tang is insisting
that we give them our men.

I'm speaking openly
since you are one of us.

I cannot help Tang.

We have to put
our own survivel first.

I also have same blood line,
I will be frank as well.

You may be able to
refuse Tang's request now,

but there will be reprisal

when they return
from the expedition.

If you take our men,

we will be left with
women and children.

Who will work the land
and protect the tribe?

What's more,

the tribes have just been unified.

There is continuous
threat of disurgence.

Explain our situation
to your superiors.

If they still hold us culpable
abd seek reprisal,

We will strengthen our military
while Tang is at war.

We will fight against Tang!

I have said all I need to say.

Stay and enjoy our hospitality
for a while

since you're here.

I guess this tribe is going
to vanish as well

because if its foolish leader!

The prairie will
be engulfed by fire.

You will be exterminated by Tang!

What? Exterminated?

Yes, exterminated.

All of you will die and disappear!

How dare you!

I treat you with respect and what?

Exterminated?

I say this only
because I care about Khitan.

Shut your mouth!

Seize him and throw him
in the dungeon!

I am here with a solution
to save your tribe.

This tribe's fate is in my hands,

not yours!

How dare you...

What are you waiting for?
Get this man out of here.

Now!

What? Exterminated?

How dare he threaten me!

I am Li Jinzhong,

the Khan of Khitan that
united the northern tribes!

Let go of me!
Let go of me!

How come. .
Those idiots!

What should I do...

Hongpae!
It's filthy in here.

What's this awful smell?

They disn't even blink
at the threat of war with Tang.

And you crushed their pride
and belittled them.

What were you thinking?
Hey!

You can't get honey
without poking the beehive.

I poked the beehive,

so we'll see what happens.

What do you think will happen?

They will either kill us

or give us their army
and come under me.

Oh, they are sure to kill us.

That's life, Hongpei.

You either get nothing
or everything.

Look at me.

I had the world when
Emperor Taizong was alive,

but all I have now are
my two bare hands.

This is the end of the rope.

I've got nothing to loose.

What do I have to fear

when I've already lost everything?

If I was meant to die here,
i will die here,

and if fate still has plans for me,

I will get back up on my feet again.

I have faith in you, general.

You will rise again.
Yes, I must...

I must quickly subjugate
Goryeo Fort

and join the war.

I just hope they don't
abandon the fort

and go back to Goguryeo.

They won't be quick
to leave the fort.

This is awful...

I have so much to do

but I'm locked up in here...

For all I know,
we could die any moment.

For all I know,
we could die any moment.

What do you mean we can't?

I want him dead for disrespecting
me and our tribe!

Why are you saying that?

We shouldn't disregard his remarks.

We couldn't possibly fight
Tang right now.

So you would rather let them
have everything we have built?

I won't!

We may be exterminated like he said,

but I'm not giving them anything!

Khan,

Xue Rengui said he had a solution.

Perhaps you should listen first
then decide.

He has no solution!

It's a trick to make us
give up our men!

Father,

the fate of the tribe
is riding on this.

He claims he has the solution
to save Khitan,

so just hear him out.

I will kill him
if he's lying to me.

Khan would like to
see you, general.

Please step outside.

Let's go.
Yes, general.

Let's go.

Speak.

What is the solution
you claim to have?

Let me ask you a question forst.

Why did you bring the scattered

tribes of northern plains together?

Is that a rhetorical question?

For hundreds of years,

we Khitan have roamed
the plains like animals.

I want us to live
like civilized people.

The you will need land
more than anything.

We Khitans have been
roaming the plains

because we were chased away by Tang

and driven back by Goguryeo.

So are you offering us land?

How does Yingzhou sound?

Put your faith in me
and give us your army.

And I will deliver Yingzhou
to you, Khan.

Are you toying with me?

But there is a condition.

Goguryeo must first be destroyed.

If you help me to destroy Goguryeo,

I will give you Yingzhou.

Just how do you intend to give us
Yingzhou, General Xue?

I will get you a guarantee.

Would the word of the
Tang Empress suffice?

The Empress?

Empress Wu Zetian?
Yes.

The woman that served

two generations ofTang Emperors.

We must first bring down
Goryeo Fort.

Meanwhile, I will send a messenger
to the Imperial Palace

and get you the guarentee written
by the Empress herself.

If you can deliver
on your promise...

If I fail to get you
the Empress's guarantee,

you can withdraw your army

and have me executed.

General!

Very well.

We have an agreement.

But I need your word
on something as well.

Go ahead, General Xue

The right of commans of
the Khitan army has to be mine.

From the moment
we set out for battle,

everyone will obey
my orders, even you.

Would you do that?

Very well.

If it is for the future of
this tribe,

I will follow your command.

Thank you, Khan.

Thank you.

By the way,

I saw a young Goguryeo prisoner
in the dungeon.

He is my catch.

He is deaf-mute
and will soon be made a slave,

so you need not worry.

Deaf-mute?
Did you say deaf-mute?

Yes.

He has not said
a single worg so far.

Then it's certain he purposely
got himself caught.

A warrior of such talent
playing mute...

Do you know him?

Yes. I will never forget his face.

He is Supreme Commander of Goguryeo

Yeon Gaesomun's trusted henchman.

There is no doubt he is
on a scouting mission.

Eat!

Stop!

Look like you remember me as well.

I guess saving Yeon Gaesomun's life

didn't change anything for you.

You must be have a lot of grief.

Just because you were born lowly

doesn't mean you have to die lowly.

If you come under me,

I can give you wealth and honor.

That won't happen
whether I am dead or alive.

Fool...

Kill him!
Stop!

I will take him.

General,

that man is supposed to be
the best warrior in this tribe.

General! General!

It's urgent news.

The Tang army in Yingzhou

has set out for Liaodong.

Finally the war has begun.

Emperor Taizong will
be avenged at last!

Stay back ot this woman is dead!

Kill him.

Don't worry about me, and kill him!

What are you waiting for?

Kill him! Now!

No! Chulin will be hurt!

He knows about our plans
to attack Goryeo Fort.

He cannot ascape alive!

Chulin is Khan's daughter.

What...

Get me a horse!

That horse right there!

The horse!

Now!
