Seize the woman!
Remember,
The lives of the prisoners are in your hands.
-You`re a feisty little wench. -I`m going to kill you!
I`ll let you die with Li Kaigu.
Shut up and fight!
I said fight!
So you`re the daughter of Khitan Kahn.
You`ve got griits for a lowly barbarian. But it`s useless against me.
-Take her! -Yes, sir.
Let go of me!
-Keep an eye on her. -Yes, sir.
Where`s Chulin?
What have you done with my men?
Don`t worry.
They`ll be joining you at the execution.
Khitan have died fighting for Tang. Is this what you give us in return?
Yes, I heard about that.
You`re trying to get Yingzhou for helping us in the conquest.
Don`t even dream about it.
Tang is not meek enough to indulge some nomadic barbarians in the frontier.
They will be executed tomorrow before we set sail.
-Understand? -Yes, sir!
They`ve locked up all of the khitan officers above the rank of ensign
Another words, they`ve rendered Khitan army powerlee.
That Li Wen is impressive. He has supressed the Khitan instantly.
It`s almost dawn.
They will embark once the supplies arrive.
Whatever we do, we better do it quick. We`re going to lose the people if we wait any longer.
From this point on, we will help the Khitans.
We have to use them to completely destroy Tang army.
That`s the only way to save our people in captive.
It`s a good idea, but how?
What do you have in mind? How do we help the Khitans?
I need you to do exzctly what I ask.
Good work.
The murder and arson that transpire in the past week were committed by the Khitans. ( Li Wen)
Their leaders will be punished to restore discipline.
So note, and focus on safe voyage.
-Understood? -Yes, sir!
Are the Khitans being closely guarded?
Yes, sir.
Don`t let them come near the ships.
Aye, sir.
What do you want?
It`s an order from Commander Li. We are to bring the prisoner back.
I never got such an order.
We`re giving you the order now, fool!
It was you. You plotted this.
I had to save the innocent Goguryeoan prisoners.
Your Khitan clan has committed a great crime against Goguryeo
But I don`t intend to blame you because you were doing what you thought was best for your people.
-What are you going to do now? -I`m releasing you.
Round up your men and wipe out the Tang crew. And free the Goguryeoan prisoners.
Can you do it?
Li Kaigu?
He`s being tightly guarded. Saving him now could jeopardiz the plan.
I can`t do what you`re asking me to do without him.
I have fait in you, Chulin.
You are the daughter of Khitan khan.
You can awaken the rage within your soldiers.
You cannot fail.
This is the only way to save both the Goguryeoan prisoners and the Khitan soldiers.
What do you want?
You! You`re that numbskull!
I`m not saving you because I like you.
-So be quiet! -My lady!
What`s going on here?
I have no time to explain.
We`re going to kill off the Tang soldiers and save Li Kaigu.
Where are the rest of the officers?
There`re only two of us on the ship.
The rest of them are being held somewhere in the camp.
Listen to me carefully. We must work together from now on.
(Bisa Fort, North Harbor)
khitans have murdered Tang soldiers, burned our supply ship to take the prisoners for themselves.
And attempte mutiny.
It`s fitting that all of you be hanged, but in consideration of your previous labors,
I have decided to take only the lives of your leaders Li Kaigu, Chulin and leading officers in you army.
Where is the offender Chulin?
-She will be brought shortly, sir. -General!
What is it?
Commodore, it appears Chulin has escaped.
What? How?
There will be no delay. Proceed with the execution!
I am the daughter of Li Jingzhong, the Khan of Great Khitan!
Brave soldiers of khitan,rise and fight! Destroy the Tang army!
It`s mutiny!
Fight back! Kill the Khitans!
I am not your enemy. Your enemy is Li Wen!
Kill the Tang Chinese!
-Commodore, you must run! -Never! I will kill every last Khitan!
Into the woods, sir. To Bisa Fort! Hurry!
I will not let them get away eith this!
I will kill that wench Chulin with my own hands!
Hurry, Commodore!
Retreat, Retreat!
Don`t be alarmed! We are Goguryeoans!
Settle down!
This is not over yet.
-Stay calm and wait! -Joyoung!
-What happened? -They`re still talking.
We can`t wait for the Khitans to come through!
Chulin might help us, but Li Kaigu will never do as we ask.
No! Never!
They save our lives.
Fine. We will let Dae Joyoung go.
But I will not give up the ten thousand Goguryeoans that are ours. We must take them with us
if only for the future of Yingzhou.
I`ve already promised him that I would release the prisoners.
I am in charge of this relocation!
No one else has the authority to make that decision!
I led this rebellion!
I save you and the lives of our officers!
Chulin! Chulin!
If we break our word, we would be just like the Tang Chinese.
-Kaigu, -Idon`t care what you say.
I can`t give up on ten thousand skilled artisans and craftsmen of Goguryeo.
I cannot give up on my people either.
If you can`t give them, I`ll make you give them up.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
If you attempt to take my people, I will not let any of you leave alive.
You`re the biggest fool I`ve ever met.
There`re only three of you. You think you can kill us all?
You are indeed brave and brilliant
for making the convoy stop and destroying the Tang crew.
But this is as far as you go.
I am not as stupid aas Li Wen!
Stop it.
This is not like you.
-Release the prisoners, and.. -Make your choice.
You can leave the prisoners and go or die trying to take them with you.
I just might trade the ten thousand people for your life.
You still don`t understand. Release my people now.
or I will kill you and all of your soldiers!
You have indeed lost you head. Where do you think you are?
This is Liaodong!
We may have lost Pyongyang, but Liaodong is still strong. This is Goguryeo!
What have you got up you sleeves?
The Ansi Fort army is marching toward us right now.
The choice is yours not mine. Release my people and save your men
or kill them for your empty pride. Now choose.
You bastards!
Do you expect us to believe that?
You will live if you believe, but you will be annihilated if you don`t!
Come with me to Ansi Fort.
Li Wen got away alive.
You`ll be executed for mutiny if you go back to Yingzhou.
I`ll let you go anytime
you want to once things sttlet down. Come with me.
But I`m a Khitan responsible for the fall of Goguryeo.
You save all of these people from being taken to Tang.
You`ve already made you reparations. No one will condemn you.
Chulin,
I can`t let you go knowing that you`ll die.
I won`t let you go.
I have to go.
If I`m going to die,
I want to die where my family is.
We are going back to Yingzhou! Anchors aweigh!
Set course for Yingzhou!
Anchors aweigh! Anchors aweigh!
-Chulin! -Go.
This is the only way to save you and the soldiers.
What do you mean, Chulin?
I instigated the mutiny. Put the blame on me, and you`ll be able to avoid an execution.
Chulin, we`re going back to Yingzhou.
We can go where no one will find us!
Chulin, if your doing this for me, please come back.
I`m prepared to die right now if I`m with you.
-Chulin! -It`s for me.
I want to save you and I want to stay here.
It`s not for you or for anyone else. It`s for me.
Chulin!
I will be back. I`ll be back for you.
Please, please be well until then.
-I bid you greetings. -Greetings, general!
You did it.
The three of you have accomplished an impossible task.
I`m proud of you.
You are the true sons of Goguryeo! I`m proud of all of you!
Father...
Go.
This is the only way to save you and the soldiers. It`s for me.
I want to save you and I want to stay here. It`s not for you or for anyone else.
It`s for me.
Mogae! Mogae!
Yes, sir.
-Turn the ship around! -Where to?
We`re going to Pyongyang Fort.
-Commander,if we go back there..... -Turn the ship around!
But.... all right.
Commander.......
I will start over in Pyongyang Fort.
If I`m spared and given another chance,
I will throw myself into a raging inferno to bring back Chulin back!
(Chan`an Palace)
Mutiny? Khitans revolted against our officers?
Yes, Your Majesty.
We`ve lost our crew as well as The ten thousand craftsmen.
Are you telling me that they took the Goguryeoans prisoners?
We won`t know the details until General Li Wen arrives.
You Majesty,
If the report is true this cannot be overlooked.
The Khitans have caused anough troubles pestering us for Yingzhou.
They must be put back in their place, Your Majesty.
The Khitans have rendered many meritorious services for Tang.
There must be a reason for this sudden insergency
Xue Rengui is reponsible for this.
How so?
We all know that the Khitans are under partronage of Xue Rengui.
And Andong Protectorate is also in charge of this mass relocation.
Accordingly, Xue Rengui must assume responsibility for this.
Yes, Your right about that.
But there`re thousands more Goguryeoans that need to be brought over.
We must make certain such incident does not occur again.
-General Li, -Yes, Your Majesty.
I want you to investigate the facts and find the root of the problem.
We will reconsider Xue Rengui`s punishment according to the result.
Say something!
How did this happen?
Chulin and Li Kaigu would never do this!
Are you saying General Xue is making this up?
There has to be some kind of mistake. Either that or they had no choice! (Li Jinzhong)
General Xue is under review by the imperial house because of this.
No matter what their excuse, they won`t be able to get away with killing the Tang soldiers.
and allowing the prisoners to go free.
But this is an unconfirmed rumor.
We should wait until we have the facts, and then....
It`s Shin Sung, general.
Yes, what did you find out?
The rumor is true.
Khitan soldiers turned on the Tang soldiers and killed them.
What about the people?
Where did all ten thousand prisoners go?
-They are in Ansi Fort, sir. -Ansi Fort?
Why are they in Ansi Fort when it`s the Khitan that rebelled?
I`m told three Goguryeoan warriors took the prisoners.
What are you talking about?
Three warriors takin ten thousand people?
That`s absurd!
There were over a thousand Tang and Tang Khitan soldiers on that convoy.
How can three men defeat a soldiery of one thousand and take the prisoners?
These three men pulled off an impossible job.
Who are they? Who are these crazy bastards/
It`s Dae Joyoung.
What? Dae Joyoung?
-Dae...Are you certain of this? -Yes.
It`s Dae Joyoung and his men Heuk Sudol and Gulsabiwu.
Unbelievable!
Absolutely unbelievable! Dae Joyoung...
Dae Joyoung, that bastard, was the culprit!
Dae Joyoung!
What amazing news!
I knew he would try, but never thought Dae Joyoung would save all of those people single handedly!
Heaven is on your side, sire.
The imperial house of Tang will not lay silent about this incident.
You`re in charge of rounding up the craftsmen.
but it is Xue Rengui is in charge of transporting them.
Yes!
The man that stands to lose the most from this is Xue Rengui!
And his loss is my gain.
Congratulations, sire.
The protectorate may be yours sooner than we thought.
Thanks, I wouldn`t be here today without you.
By the way,
that Dae Joyoung is a lot more capanle than I thought.
I intend to join hands with him once Andong Protectorate is mine.
Only then I will be able to achieve true restoration of Goguryeo.
(Mt.Jungmo Resistance Camp)
It`s not just because they saved the people.
This inspiring achievement has revived the abti-Tang movement
that`s been stagnate for quite some time!
They`re encouraging activities in Pyongyang Fort as well.
People are coming foward voluntarily to join the anti-Tang organizations.
That`s not all.
The entire region of Liaodong has come alive as if Goguryeo has already been restored!
I think the restoration movement will be centered around Liaodong for now.
Don`t you, General Gom?
Yes, but that doesn`t mean we at Mt. Jungmo can relax.
If Liaodong is the foundation of the restoration army, we at Mt.Jungmo are the advance guards.
I agree.
That`s why I think Dae Joyoung should be here with us.
Yes, I had mentioned that to Dae Joyoung once before.
We should strike the iron while it`s hot. I will go to Liaodong.
Plundering and exploitation of Andong Protectorate is has reached its peak.
It`s possible to move up our uprising if Dae Joyoung is with us.
The city is so full of life.
You`d never know that Goguryeo has crumbled watching them.
Thank you, Chulin,
for trusting me and coming with me, and for helping me get my people back.
If there ever comes a day when my people need your help, you can return the favor.
Joyoung!
You better go to the government office. General Dae wants you.
Master Jang is here. Go on!
Um, I apologize for my crude behavier in the past.
For striking you with my sword and all....
It was the situation, so don`t take it personally.
I`ve forgotten all about it, so don`t let it bother you, kid.
Hey,is she older than you?
Weren`t you born in the year of the dog?
-That`s pretty old. -Be quiet!
You`re so juvenile.
Blasted bastard!
I`m not the one who offended him! Wait for me!
You`re famous among the youner generation of Goguryeoans.
Having you would give us great strength.
You could he inviting trouble.
What do you mean?
I`m sure Andong Protectorate is keeping an eye on me right now.
Covertness is the life of the anti-Tang groups in Mt. Jungmo and Pyongyang.
I may join you eventually, but I don`t think now is the time.
I see your point.
But general Gom is willing to take that chance to have you join him.
We understand what you`re asking.
-Give us time to consider. -Of course, general.
By the way, about the Khitan commander
that was on the convoy....
He`s come back to Pyongyang Fort.
You mean Li Kaigu went back to Pyongyang Fort instead of Yingzhou?
General, are you intending on killing Li Kaigu? He`ll die if the torture isn`t stopped now.
That bastard came back instead of running away because he is not afraid of me.
General,
Do what you want with his body when he`s dead.
General, please release Li Kaigu.
I just made up my mind not to forgive him.
Li Kaigu has done nothing wrong.
My daughter Chulin is the obe that led this insurrection. Chulin is the one that deserves to die.
Li Kaigu is still hasn`t said a word in his defense.
We know this to be true throught testomonies of his subordinates.
I`ve just renounce my own daughter.
But I must save my trusted right-hand man. Please don`t let Li Kaigu die.
Stop!
Look up!
I was told Chulin is the one that initiated the mutiny. Is it true?
I could let you live, if you`re not directly responsible. Answer my question.
You gave me your orders to me, general.
How could anyone else defy your order but me?
No, thet`s not true. Commander Li is not resposible!
It was Chulin, general!
Commander Li did nothing wrong.
I`ll ask you one more question. Why did you come back?
Why did you come back knowing that you`ll die?
To carry ou your order, sir.
-My order? -Because I am a warrior.
General, an emissary has arrived from Tang.
My name is Li Wen.
Yes, I`ve heard about you.
You`re Superior Commander Li Jing`s nephew.
I`ll get straight to the point.
His Majesty has put me in charge of the lates incident.
Put you in charge?
You`re not here to deliver his command but to attend to the matter yourself?
Under Imperial authority, my words are His Majesty`s words.
As the leader of Andong Protectorate you will be held personally responsible for this regrrettable incident.
Oh? What would you like me to do?
Recapture the ten thousand craftsmen of Goguryeo we lost.
And apprehend the Khitan khan and those who led the mutiny!
I am the protectorate-general in charge of governing this protectorate and the entire former state of Goguryeo!
I will not take orders from a greenhorn like you!
You too, are a greenhorn before the Emperor,general.
What?
I heard Li Kaigu is back here as well. Apprehend the Khitans immediately!
I`m afraid I can`t do that.
I need the Khitan army to attack Liaodong.
How else am I to destroy Aso Fort and get back the prisoner you lost?
Are you saying you can suppress Liaodong, if I spare the Khitans?
That`s the only way to get back the prisoners back!
And if you fail?
What would you want if I fail?
A chance to take your head.
Watch your tongue!
This man`s arrogance knows no bounds!
General, pay no heed to this man!
You have a deal. Satisfied?
-General! -General!
Put it down in black and white.
"I will relinquish my fate to Li Wen if I fail to conquer Liaodong."
Go on and write it, general.
I am an ignorant man whose writting doesn`t extend beyon his own name.
So I will vow with this instead.
Hongpei,go now and save Li Kaigu.
Yes, Sir!
Welcome. Have some hot tea.
I heard that Captain Dae was able to save our precious people thanks to you.
I wanted to personally thank you as a member of the royal house.
I`ve gain much as well. I have more to thank.
I guess we will be living within the same gate from now on.
So what are you plans now?
I intend to refuse nothing to help Goguryeo.
I envy you.
To refuse to do nothing also means you`re capable of everything.
I will need your support as well, Your Grace.
Are the people that you`ve rescued doing well?
They`ve already managed to build new village with their remarkable talents.
I can face General Yang without shame thanks to you.
People are Goguryeo`s invaluable asset.
But they may hurt us more than help us right now.
What do you mean?
The Tang Chinese will no doubt attempt to get them back.
They will resume the campaing against Liaodong that they`ve been putting off.
You mean they will attack Liaodong?
It`s entirely foreseeable.
-Joyoung, -Yes, Father.
I want you to go to general Gom Mojam in Mt. Jungmo.
-But Liaodong may be in danger. -I will protect Liaodong.
Why Father?
Why are you sending me to Pyongyang?
If Tang wants Liaodong, Andong Protectorate will be called upon.
Xue Rengui will personally lead the campaing with a large army.
While we have them occupied, attack Pyonyang Fort with Gom Mojam.
This is our chance to destroy the Proetectorate that`s squeezing the blood and sweat of our people!
And you, Joyoung, are the man to do the job.
Father......
Father!
