We pray for the safe return...

of Dal and my daughter-in-law.

We pray for the safety of our Chief as well.

That's right.

Please ensure that everyone from the village is safe.

This we pray.

This we pray.

This we pray.

I am Pyeonggang, the eldest daughter of King Pyeongwon of Goguryeo.

I am the eldest son of General On of the Sunno Tribe, On Dal.

We have come to surrender to the Northern Zhou army.

Lay down your arms.

(General Wibalta, leader of the Northern Zhou Mercenary Army)

The Sunno soldiers...

have surrendered to the Northern Zhou army.

What do you mean, surrender?

Do you mean they surrendered even without a fight?

Yes, I believe so.

What about the Princess?

It is said that the Princess herself has led the soldiers to surrender.

The Princess, herself?

Why, this is...

I heard a rumor that you were planning to face us...

with fewer than 300 soldiers.

Do you now fear death?

I do not fear death.

I simply do not wish for death without honor.

What?

The Sunno Tribe was abandoned by Goguryeo long ago.

However, they sent us to the frontlines of war to die.

Who would wish to fight?

Where is the rest of your army?

There were far fewer than 300 when we counted them.

Several of them fled on our march here.

The princess of Goguryeo is...

betraying her father and surrendering herself?

Do you expect me to believe that nonsense?

I got kicked out because I aroused my father's anger.

He cut ties with me, and I was forced to leave the palace.

Now he is telling me to die on the battlefield.

I cannot obey his order.

I am not betraying him. I am only trying to survive.

So I heard the rumors about you.

They said the princess of Goguryeo got married to a fool...

and got kicked out of the palace.

That was you guys.

Did you just call me a fool?

Please have mercy on us, General.

This is not for me to decide.

I will send you to our military headquarters.

You can kneel before our head general and beg.

I am coming along.

One of you should stay here.

Get the horses ready.

What shall we do? This was not part of our plan.

It is okay. It will only delay our plan.

What do you mean it is okay?

You are going to the headquarters of Northern Zhou alone.

I can protect myself.

Ga Jin.

I will come back before the sun sets.

Until then, stay put and wait for me.

If you get hurt even a little,

I will...

crush all of them.

You should be careful too.

Giddy-up!

Do not worry so much.

You know Pyeonggang would not surrender without even trying.

She must have a hidden plan.

I know that.

That is why I am even more worried.

Pardon?

Pyeonggang has only taken the rough paths,

refusing to take the comfortable ones.

She is firm with her choices,

but I wonder if she will be lucky this time as well.

I believe in Pyeonggang.

As soon as she destroys the Northern Zhou Mercenary Army,

you should strike the headquarters of the Northern Zhou.

Of course. I will do that.

I must do that.

What will you do?

Have you checked where they put our weapons?

They moved them to the wagons behind the barracks.

We will make our move at night when Ga Jin comes back.

Did you hear? I hear General Wibalta is going to kill them all.

Really?

I hear they took the girl to kill her.

Hey! We are in trouble!

- Why are you causing a fuss again? - What is it?

I heard them talking in Turkic while working.

They said Ga Jin will not be coming back.

They said the headquarters will hold Ga Jin hostage,

and if that becomes useless, they will kill her.

They will also kill all of us as soon as the sun rises.

- Are you sure about it? - Of course!

They did not believe it when Ga Jin said she will surrender herself.

Are you sure you did not hear them wrong?

I am a Gokturk. Do you think I would mishear my own language?

It is because you are the clumsy type.

- What did you just say? - Hey, hey. Cut it out.

If what San said is true,

we are like rats in a trap.

What is worse is that we walked into the trap ourselves.

Then we should break out of the trap.

After that,

we are going to save Ga Jin too.

- What is going on? - Darn you!

- What is happening? - What is wrong with you?

- Do not do that! - Stop!

- What is wrong with you? - Stop it!

- Hey, come on! - Stop!

- What is happening? - Move!

Calm down, everyone.

It is nothing.

We were just playing around.

This is scary. Why would you put these in our faces?

- Let go of it! - Hey!

What do you mean, let go?

Let us go!

Whoa.

Dal.

Get him!

Dal, wait for me.

Father.

Our army is here!

Please hang in there until I make it back.

It seems like it is already over.

Did I come too late?

The Northern Zhou Mercenary Army must be exhausted.

Let us go and destroy them.

Are you okay?

San!

San!

Wake up!

You fool! Wake up! Are you okay?

You said...

you cannot live without me, right?

I cannot, so do not die!

No! Wake up, San!

San! San!

Ga Jin...

Dal.

I miss you,

Ga Jin.

Wibalta is down!

Wibalta is down!

Yes!

- Wibalta is down! - We won!

We won!

Yes!

Wibalta is down!

General Go, please give us your order now.

That is the flag of Goguryeo.

That is the flag of the Sunno Tribe.

How did they...

Dal. Dal.

We won.

I fought to the death.

You should have just waited for me, you fool.

Ga Jin, you are...

my Goguryeo,

my kingdom.

Thank you for staying alive.

- Salute! - Salute!

The enemies will cross the river.

Have the reinforcements arrived?

They just joined the Sunno Tribe.

This is all thanks to Princess Pyeonggang...

who destroyed the Northern Zhou Mercenary Army.

Now, it is time for our kingdom to show our bravery.

Advance the troops and horses to the river!

- Salute! - Salute!

- Salute! - Salute!

- Salute! - Salute!

- Salute! - Salute!

- Salute! - Salute!

Hey, are you up?

Hey!

Hey, are you up?

- My gosh. - What is it? What happened?

A man came from the battlefield.

And?

And what happened? Tell me quickly, I am dying here.

They won.

- They did? - Yes.

The Sunno Tribe won a great victory.

Continuing the winning streak, the King's army...

kicked those Northern Zhou rascals out of Goguryeo!

The war is over now!

Oh, so then...

what about Dal and my daughter-in-law?

They are safe. They did not get hurt either.

My goodness. Thank you.

Thank the skies and the spirits! Thank you so much.

I was worried sick that something terrible would happen to the Chief.

There is no time to lose.

I should hurry and boil some chicken.

No. They are not coming straight home.

They are heading to Pyeongyang.

For what?

What else?

He is going to be rewarded for his contribution.

He was summoned by His Majesty himself.

I see.

[VIU Ver] KBS E26 'River Where the Moon Rises' "The Sunno Tribe Goes to Battle" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

Pung Gae.

Yes?

You do not have to go to Pyeongyang.

Take the boy to Ghost Valley.

Yes.

- Good work. - Bye.

San did not only save us...

but also our country.

And he is not even from Goguryeo.

I am sorry, Jin. I am so sorry.

Princess Pyeonggang and her husband, On Dal.

Your Majesty.

I, On Hyeop, the chief of the Sunno Tribe,

have successfully defended the country against Silla.

I am proud of your bravery.

- Much obliged, Your Majesty. - Much obliged, Your Majesty.

Your unknown and insignificant subject, On Dal,

bow down humbly at your service.

You may stand up.

Stand up.

You are my daughter,

and you are my son.

You all are...

my soldiers and subjects.

Much obliged, Your Majesty.

- Much obliged, Your Majesty. - Much obliged, Your Majesty.

Considering their outstanding contributions to our victory,

the Sunno Tribe may return to the Five Tribe council...

as of this day.

Also,

they shall no longer be recorded as traitors.

All the wealth and property...

that was confiscated shall be returned to them as well.

As you wish, Your Majesty.

Gochuga.

This has already been agreed upon,

so I assume that you have no objection.

You made a reasonable and generous decision, Your Majesty.

Thanks to everyone's bravery and loyalty,

we overcame a crisis and prevented war.

Everyone in Goguryeo deserves a feast.

Open the royal storehouses!

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

Is your attire uncomfortable?

No.

It is just a bit too long.

Get used to it quickly. You will be wearing it every day.

Pyeonggang.

- Won. - Won.

I mean, Your Highness.

I heard that you fought as well. I am proud of you.

Father led 50,000 troops.

His dignity was breathtaking.

I wish you could have seen him.

Won, you should go back now.

You have preparations to make.

But it will be hours before the sun sets.

Do as she says.

Dal and I will visit you at your chambers soon.

As His Majesty has acknowledged you both,

I believe that it is time to hold a wedding.

It shall be known to everyone.

I appreciate your offer, but I must decline it.

We already had a wedding ourselves...

and exchanged our tokens of affection. That is enough for us.

Tokens of affection? Which gemstones did you choose?

Can you show me?

Lovely.

If that is what you want, I will not insist.

Magnolia Hall will be under renovation starting tomorrow.

There is much work to do before you two can stay there together.

Magnolia Hall?

Is that where we are going to live?

I will explain later.

I heard that you took very good care of Father...

while he was bedridden.

I cannot thank you enough.

Do not mention it.

It is the Queen's duty to look after the King.

There is no need for you to thank me.

I understand.

It was truly a divine blessing.

(A divine blessing: Favor and protection from on high)

It was with the help of an excellent fortune-teller...

that His Majesty recovered.

All preparations are complete.

With Ga Jin moving into the palace,

today is the last day I will play a fortune-teller.

I have waited for more than a decade to carry out my divine mission.

Today is a good day.

On my way back from Pyeongsa Plain,

I realized something.

The real war...

did not begin in Northern Zhou...

but in Pyeongyang.

Right in the middle of the palace.

Princess Pyeonggang and the son of General On Hyeop are,

by no means, easy opponents. Even so,

I will win this war at all costs. And I will...

offer the two of them to you as trophies.

What do you think you are doing?

You showed me this portrait once,

telling me you were looking for this woman.

So have you found her?

Have you won her over?

Burning the portrait will not erase your feelings for her as well.

Please do not despair.

If you stop here,

you will be swallowing the ashes this woman left behind...

for the rest of your life.

Lady Hae, you are wrong.

My heart...

is already a field of ashes.

The ashes are clumping together...

and hardening as we speak.

That cannot be true.

Your feelings are not ones to settle...

as easily as that.

Lady Hae!

- Do you know me? - No.

But I know my own heart.

Because I wrote a secret letter for you, General Go.

I see it must have been in vain.

I hear that your medical skills saved my life.

I hear that your fortune-telling abilities are impressive as well.

It is my honor, Your Majesty.

Despite winning the battle,

I cannot simply enjoy the victory.

There are too many layers at play in this country.

That is why I have called you here.

Reading the fortunes of palace affairs...

is quite different from telling an individual's fortune.

Therefore, I have been so bold as to ask your servants to withdraw,

to allow for a private audience with you and the Crown Prince.

I have heard.

What will you do now?

I will read the flow of your energies,

and examine their synergy with the skies and the earth.

In order to read your energy, your mind and body must be pure.

Please drink.

Crown Prince, you have even fought on the battlefield.

Do you fear this now?

I do not, Father.

Do you still not like it?

Like what?

That we are now living together in the palace.

What are you talking about?

How can someone who used to live in a little shack...

complain about living in the palace?

The Chief also said he will have a residence in Pyeongyang Castle.

Pung Gae will be here too.

I like it. I am excited.

But you are worried about Mother.

Do not worry too much.

I will make sure we can bring her here.

- What is it? - Our victory in battle,

and the revival of the Sunno Tribe,

all of it is great.

But my favorite part about all of this is something else.

It was when the king called me his son...

and said that I was your husband.

I liked hearing that the most.

Do you know what happens when you drink poison hemlock?

Your body turns to stone,

but your mind remains clear.

In other words,

I am telling you to watch...

as I carve up your son, alive,

piece by piece.

Princess.

Forget about dinner. You can just skip it.

- Nanny. - No, do not worry.

I will prepare supper for you separately.

I was planning to eat with Father and Won.

The two of them went to the shrine, so I do not think that is possible.

- The shrine? - Yes.

He went there at sunset to discuss the fortunes of the kingdom.

Apparently, there is a very skilled fortune-teller.

Queen Yeon has been singing the praises of Songhwadang.

Songhwadang?

I have heard that before.

"Song", "hwa", "dang".

Songhwadang. Where is Songhwadang?

Songhwadang. It is he.

- Who? - It is he.

The Chief of Cheonjubang.

(River Where the Moon Rises)

My wife has no time for rest.

Enemies abound in your vicinity.

Lady Hae, from now on, you are closer to me than any woman.

General On Dal, receive this command.

I will do my best, unto death.

Their influence is trivial.

But at their center is the Princess.

The letter from the Queen to Go Won Pyo...

is evidence of their illicit relationship.

It is all over now.
