[Episode 29] Please...
Look!
Break the ash flower's stem before it blooms.
Break the ash flower's stem before it blooms?
On the fifth day... two o'clock...
You heard something you shouldn't have.
Chomuja Mujin.
The one with no name will not disappear.
But I hear it's a nomadic group. He'd only know his immediate boss.
Chomuja... Mujin.
[The one who didn’t exist from the beginning will exist forever.]
The one with no name will never disappear.
I've never seen you before.
Because I belong to Chunmyung Unit.
Chunmyung Unit?
Why did you come yourself?
What on earth... is Chunmyung Unit?
Break the ash flower's stem before it blooms...
Since the one who knows the order was captured at the State Tribunal
I received an order to check the situation in person.
But... Master Gil has already made an order...
so why did they send Chunmyung Unit again?
Master Gil?
Master Gil...
That man?
Go now.
Master Gil... It's Gil Seon Mi!
Don't you know that Master Gil Seon Mi failed the last two missions?
Failed?
He failed to obtain Jo Joon's materials in Dongjin Market
and after he fell into a trap while chasing Sambong
he was followed to Geumwol Temple.
There can be no mistakes this time.
Pardon me.
I can't answer any more questions.
I need information from him
Questions...
- But... - Where is Master Gil right now?
In order to prepare for the plan, he went to Ji Cheon Tae.
Ji Cheon Tae?
He said that if the plan succeeds
an authority will be needed to respond quickly.
So he said he'd use Ji Cheon Tae with his wide connections.
Look for him! He is wearing a black robe!
Surround this area tightly!
I will lead them away so you can escape.
Chomuja Mujin.
The one with no name will not disappear.
Wait!
He died here. Damn it!
Did you see a warrior in a black robe, by any chance?
I did, yes. I saw him.
You saw him?
Boon Yi!
Come to Yeoamjung by two o'clock on the fifth day.
You will be able to meet your mother there.
You can't tell this to anyone.
If you don't keep the promise...
you will never be able to see her.
Yes, he said, "Cut it off while it's young."
"Cut it off while it's young"? What is that?
I've never heard of it before.
Bastards, what are they plotting now?
- He said two o'clock on the fifth day. - Two o'clock on the fifth day...
I heard the previous king in Yeoju sent a gift.
It will arrive by two o'clock on the fifth day
so we have to be prepared.
Isn't the gift arriving at two o'clock on the fifth day?
That's right. That's the fifth day...
So it's two o'clock tomorrow.
May I take a leave on the fifth day? I need to go to Yiseo County.
- Why do you look at me that way? - Lee Bang Ji.
Didn't you say that you'd be away tomorrow?
You wanted to go to Yiseo County.
- I did. - Are you going to Yiseo County?
Tell me the truth. Are you really going to Yiseo County?
Why?
Do I have to report such things to you?
The gift from the previous king arrives at two o'clock on the fifth day.
Also, we received a tip that Moomyung is plotting something...
and its name is 'Break it before it blooms.'
That's also at 2:00 on the fifth day.
It's tomorrow.
And it's also tomorrow, on the fifth day, that you happen to be away.
Would all of this be coincidence?
Are you suspicious of my brother?
Why don't you tell me? Are you really going to Yiseo County?
If you are, I will lower my head and apologize to you right now.
Come to Yeoamjung by two o'clock on the fifth day.
Damn it.
Gil Seon Mi told me to come out by 2:00 on the fifth day.
- He said he'd let me see my mother. - What?
I think he fooled me. To get me out of here.
You are not supposed to be here while Father receives the gift.
What else could this be?
Assassination?
If you combine the letters "Gyu" and "Mok" from the order
it is the letter "Gye."
It is the last letter of the General's name!
The ash flower's stem... It refers to Father.
Then what about the letter "Sa"?
"The bloom will wither."
It's an assassination!
Goodness.
His Majesty's gift has arrived.
Prime Minister Yi Seong Gye, step forward to receive the gift
that His Majesty has granted to you.
Drink the wine now.
Something went wrong.
How dare you!
What on earth are you doing?
All of you...
did you dare to try to kill me?
What? What do you mean by that?
Make sure to remember this.
In case the plan fails...
this is what you should yell out before you leave.
Long live His Majesty Woo!
Now...
- Everyone, follow him! - Yes, sir!
He's fast.
Let's go!
What's your name? Your name.
I have to know your name so that I can be famous for catching you.
I am Cheok from Goksan.
Cheok from Goksan?
Not your family name, your name!
Why don't you people tell me your names?
We have blood stains. Chase him!
Yes, sir!
This is it.
It can't be...
Did he jump off?
If he jumped off from here, he should be dead.
If he can use the skill of free descent...
- Free descent? - It is the opposite of free ascent.
If he can use the skill of free descent, he'd have landed safely from this height.
But he was shot with an arrow and was hurt from my attack
so he couldn't have gone too far.
We have to find him.
We have to find him and figure out who is behind this.
Mobilize our army right now. Search and surround this mountain!
Yes, sir! Let's go!
Let's go.
I didn't expect there would be another master like this.
I really don't know!
When I went to Yeoju
Lord Kim Jeo and General Han were already at His Majesty's residence!
I only went there after I was called upon by His Majesty.
And why exactly did you go to Yeoju?
I went there because Lord Lee Saek told me to.
I only delivered Lord Lee Saek's message.
What was the message?
It was just...
What?
There was a plot to assassinate General Yi Seong Gye
as he was receiving a gift from the previous king.
When it failed General Han yelled out, "Long live the king"
and took his own life.
That's not important.
Lord Jo Sang Won was there. He was arrested and taken to the State Tribunal!
How did this happen? "Long live the king"?
If His Majesty planned this, harm will also reach the current king.
Also...
None of us can predict what will happen next.
- "Long live His Majesty Woo"? - That's what he supposedly said.
Not only the noble men who visited Yeoju
but also Lord Lee Saek who helped His Majesty to the throne
and the previous king to Yeoju and the Sadaebu who follow him, and even you...
cannot predict the coming future.
Yes...
Even without the previous king's plot, things are unstable.
But for him to say, "Long live the king" and to take his own life...
- Maybe they... - What do you mean, "they"?
No, it's nothing.
It's clear that it was Moomyung's plot.
If they tried to assassinate Father for the previous king
they wouldn't have sent an assassin as a gift
and he wouldn't have yelled out, "Long live the king."
My dear, we need a plan for Moomyung--
Moomyung is not the only problem.
Pardon?
What will Teacher Poeun do now?
Among the officials and the Sadaebu
they are already speaking of stripping King Woo's title
and dethroning the current king.
Dethronement?
I should not delay this.
I need to move faster than General Yi Seong Gye!
Damn those bastards, they try to kill you at every turn!
Let's wipe them out.
Do we have to bleed again?
General, in order to reduce the bloodshed
are you willing to go all-out?
"Go all-out"?
Please take the throne.
Long live His Majesty Woo!
Why did he yell that out?
Gil Seon Mi...
He used our mother to fool me.
- Bang Ji. - Boon Yi...
I don't think... our mother belongs to Moomyung.
She must be their pawn.
Right?
We must rescue her.
I wish that was the case.
But...
Chumuja Mujin.
The one with no name... will not disappear.
That code worked.
Our mom belongs to Moomyung.
I will escort her.
[Yeon Hyang]
They failed. Cheok ran to the mountain but we don't know if he survived.
Did Lee Bang Ji find out about the plot?
What should we do now?
Do we proceed to the next step right away?
They said there was nothing we needed to do.
The matter can be resolved very easily.
It can be resolved easily?
If you find the right spot to place the sword
bamboo will split where the blade touches.
Is this what you mean?
We have already placed the blade on the right spot. Is that it?
Poeun should have already gone to Prince Jungchang.
What do you mean by that?
Prepare myself for the throne?
How could you say such a thing...
Because I am looking at reality.
We are already in a situation where His Majesty's position can't be assured.
Please, Poeun!
What's more important is...
in order to re-establish this country Goryeo
royal blood of the proper line of King Taejo has to step up.
Why do you do this to me?
Lee In Gyeom helped the previous king of uncertain blood
reach the throne out of his own greed.
And what happened as a result?
Famine covered the country
and the Japanese pirates attack us every ten days
and the noble class persecuted the common people!
Meanwhile the previous king pursued pleasure and luxury.
What about before that?
Was it any better before that?
During the 23 years of King Gongmin's reign
it was only good for the first seven, eight years.
Was there any part that was lacking in King Gongmin?
Even he couldn't re-establish the country!
So, for an ordinary man like me to take the throne...
What will happen to this country?
I plan to re-establish it.
I believe that is the responsibility of a Confucian scholar.
So, as royal blood of the proper line...
please fulfill your responsibility.
Please...
give me some time.
Baek Geun Soo.
Teacher Poeun went to Prince Jungchang again...
That's not the most surprising part, Young Master.
- Do you know who I saw? - Who did you see?
I saw Baek Geun Soo going into Prince Jungchang's house.
Who'd have thought that the traitor would be hiding there?
First, take more people and keep more eyes on Prince Jungchang's house.
- Understood? - Yes!
It is Prince Jungchang. We have the justification.
It is "abandon the fake and establish the true."
The current king is of the blood line of Shin Don.
Such a rumor exists...
- It doesn't have to be a rumor. - Poeun.
You also had Prince Jungchang in mind when you returned with the soldiers.
For the last 200 years, this country
has become a hive of greed-fueled civil war!
King Gongmin wished to re-establish the destroyed country
but he lost the opportunity because of the Red Turban's attack!
But it's different now.
Since you have control of the defense of the country, we are safe.
With this opportunity that you have created for us
shouldn't we carry the reform of this country to success?
As I promised last time, we are now one body.
I will do everything in my power to help you.
Let us help Prince Jungchang to the throne.
There is something I'd like to confirm with you.
Go ahead.
Moomyung was also involved in this incident.
Do you mean that the previous king conspired with Moomyung?
General Han yelled out, "Long live His Majesty Woo" as he died.
Why would he do that?
Doesn't it look like it was aimed at dethroning the current king?
What are you trying to say?
And once the current king is dethroned
the strongest successor is Prince Jungchang.
Do you mean to say that I am being controlled by Moomyung?
Or do you think I am a part of Moomyung?
You came to my cave by the lead of Moomyung, right?
Am I wrong?
You are wrong.
I'll believe you. Then please promise me one thing.
Moomyung's goal must be to prevent the private land reform.
But we must carry out the private land reform no matter what.
Of course.
Even if it comes to attacking Teacher Lee Saek.
Will you do that?
Please answer me.
Of course I will.
I am also on the stage now.
There is a Jin merchant ship at Yangjin Port.
Load this on that ship.
Tomorrow is the wedding day, so why...
Move fast as I told you.
I will see you at Ilwoljung in front of the house at 8:00 tonight.
Yes, we understand.
What is going on?
We should know the details to make the job easy.
Are you inside?
Please don't!
Please leave. This dress is only to be seen at the wedding.
Sir...
What's going on?
I am sorry.
I know you've been looking forward to the day...
What is going on? Please tell me.
We have to leave tonight.
Pardon?
How come?
If I delay any longer, I will have no choice but to take the throne.
Taking the throne now would be a death sentence.
If I die...
you wouldn't be safe either.
What am I supposed to do with you?
That's why running away is the only option.
That is the only way for us to survive.
Will you come with me?
Even if I wasn't a rich man with a grand merchant group
would you be fine with it?
Yes.
What now?
Did you hear something?
Sit down.
A member of Moomyung is in Prince Jungchang's house.
What do you mean?
He is Baek Geun Soo, who snuck into our army base in 1375.
Young Kyu is keeping an eye on him.
General Han yelled out, "Long live His Majesty Woo" as he died.
You also thought it was strange, didn't you?
There is a good chance that Moomyung wants Prince Jungchang as the king.
Do you still plan to help him to the throne?
I believe the opportunity is upon us!
Help Father to the throne!
I can't.
Prime Minister has no intention of it either.
Is it because of Teacher Poeun?
I am truly envious.
I finally heard it recently.
When the three generals were executed because of Kim Yong's scheme...
When even Teacher Lee Saek kept silent...
Teacher Poeun and you were the only two who preserved your conviction.
The two who used to share knowledge and beliefs...
In time, one composed a system in establishing a country
and the other one raised people.
The two met again and shared a common wish
so there is nothing that can't be accomplished.
That's why... I'm more scared of Moomyung.
From Moomyung's perspective, there were many
that they could have sent to the cave.
They could have easily accused us of treason
and suppressed us by force. But...
But they sent Teacher Poeun.
The one you want most dearly
the one who is most needed for this revolution!
But the one who can't be talked into changing the dynasty!
Recently, as I watch Father and you...
I think of how wise Moomyung is.
Since Teacher Poeun visited the cave, you--
Why? Does it look like I gave up on the revolution?
No. I am revolutionizing more fiercely than I ever have before.
Because one of the core parts of the new country must be Poeun.
Pardon? What do you mean by that?
I will tell you eventually.
He will be with us.
As we step forward with the reform
Poeun will also understand our wish.
What about Moomyung?
I will not forgive them!
I already told Poeun about them and we will find them together!
But, one in a million chance...
What if Teacher Poeun is swayed by Moomyung?
If that happens...
then I will plan against Poeun.
Are you relieved now?
You said General Choi Young was a dangerous politician
because he harbors no ulterior motives.
In my eyes, Father and you seem to harbor ulterior motives in the name of honor.
That sounds like sarcasm.
Do you mean that such motives are too honorable for a politician?
Yes.
But, you could also call that idealism.
General Yi Seong Gye, Poeun, and me...
Each one of us share the same vision
and we will trust in and push ahead with that idealism.
He seems to be a bodyguard for Prince Jungchang.
- That traitor... - A bodyguard?
What should I do? Prince Jungchang is the elder of the royal court
and Baek Geun Soo is in his inner circle.
- I can't leave him alone... - What should we do?
Baek Geun Soo. You have to bring him in in secret.
Send skilled assassins. And keep that a secret too.
Yes.
- Ji Cheon Tae? - Yes.
Ji Cheon Tae... It is one of 64 trigrams from I Ching.
To be honest, that's what the member of Moomyung said.
That Gil Seon Mi went to Ji Cheon Tae.
Can you look into it?
I will, but with that alone...
What? Do you know what it is?
No. I should check first.
Gil Seon Mi...
He is definitely a core member of Moomyung.
He also knew Mother.
It was extraordinary swordsmanship that I had not seen before.
I don't think it will work.
Why do you ruin someone else's training?
Seriously! Our Bang Ji is practicing!
That won't work. How is that possible?
Why do you say so?
In my opinion, it can't really work.
I believe your teacher told you to train this way so that you can become stronger.
True. Teacher told me to train this way, but he never showed this to me.
Of course this won't work.
If it was an object, then... toss, toss, ta-da.
But you know about water. There is no shape in water.
So of course it won't work.
Then...
when you don't have good swordsmanship, how can you create a way of martial arts
and teach other people?
That's a good question.
To be honest, my body can't follow.
But I have tremendous eyes.
When was it...
It was when I was little. I saw a sparrow that was flying in the field afar.
But I saw dirt in the left eye of the sparrow!
Moreover, it was female.
Crazy...
It's a lie. Let's go.
Isn't it shocking? I was shocked too.
Also, when I see someone fight
the moment I start watching, his moves slow down like this...
I start seeing every move. I remember every detail!
No matter how complicated the move is.
I am telling this only to you...
and Eastern Twin Dragons was also started from my eyes.
I shouldn't have asked him.
A long time ago, I was a house servant somewhere.
The lady of the house, wow...
She was amazing.
One day, I saw her training with the sword...
I was hiding like this while I watched her. And the swordsmanship...
What's wrong?
How could I have forgotten?
The sword... The sword that was in the bodies of the Taxation officers...
I remember now!
This is a soldier who was killed by the warrior this afternoon.
- It was a very fast sword. - What is it?
What is this?
It matches the one that was found in the Taxation Officer Kim Song Hak.
Then he must be the one who killed the Taxation officers!
How could he...
They are searching everywhere in the mountain now, so they will find him.
We must find him and learn his identity.
I asked him his name while we were fighting.
But he didn't say!
That's how I can build my record...
Who would know him if he only says his family name?
Cheok from Goksan, or Gok from Cheoksan...
Anyway, such nonsense...
- What? - What did you say just now?
Did he say he was Cheok from Goksan?
Yes.
The Cheok Family of Goksan...
There is only one.
Are you saying that he is the descendant of Cheok Joon Gyung?
Could it be...
that the one rumored among warriors tried to harm Father?
"Rumored among warriors"?
Cheok Joon Gyung's Goksan swordsmanship was passed down to his descendants
and the fourth descendant Cheok Sa Gwang revived it. That is the rumor.
Although it was from about a decade ago.
Is he that famous?
Someone like that aimed for the General...
We must catch him and prepare for the future.
It was Goksan Swordsmanship!
The marks on the Taxation officers' bodies
were caused by Goksan swordsmanship.
How could I have forgotten? Idiot...
- Goksan swordsmanship... - I was a servant for the family.
The Cheok Family.
Cheok?
Cheok Sa Gwang who is a descendant of Cheok Joon Gyung...
defeated one of my pupils.
I have truly wanted to have a match with him...
but I didn't get to meet him.
Then...
Are you saying that the officers were killed by Cheok Sa Gwang?
There is a high probability... based on the mark.
The ship is ready. You can leave from Yangjin Port right away.
Well done.
Once you go through Mount Gumyeon, you will arrive before the sunrise.
Please hurry.
- Let's go. - Yes, my lord.
He is running away because he doesn't want to become a king?
How could such a man exist?
It will be for the better... for his own life.
He is headed to Yanjin Port to get on a ship.
He'll probably go through this Mount Goongyeo.
Teacher Yooksan went there himself.
Then he will use that method again.
"That method"?
Jo Young Kyu told us only to catch that man.
She is always with him. What should we do?
My lord!
- My lord! - Sir!
What is it?
It's poison.
My lord, please stay with me. My lord!
Sir...
Water. Give me some water.
Yes, sir.
My lord, are you all right?
It is poison from an aconite root.
We need licorice and ledebouriella roots right now.
What happened? Who shot a poisonous needle?
Let's attack them now.
One girl, one injured...
We just need to take him back.
- Shouldn't we take him to a doctor now? - We can't.
If he moves now, the poison will spread faster.
Its antidote is right here.
This is the antidote.
You will probably die within two hours...
but you will live if you take the antidote.
Who on earth are you to do this?
Then give him the antidote now.
Of course I should give it to him.
But there is one condition.
What is it?
My lord...
Please become the king of this country and save Goryeo!
Who are you?
We have been called by many names over the centuries.
I heard that we are known as Moomyung in the royal court.
You are...
We didn't come up with the name, but it is a great name.
In fact, we never had a name.
If you are really a part of Moomyung, then why...
This is very old and it's very dark here, so it will be hard to read now...
But when King Taejo ousted Gung Ye and founded Goryeo
he promised his alliance with us. This is the contract signed with blood.
Since then, we have had a very deep relationship with the royal court.
And? It has nothing to do with me.
It will, from now on.
If you become the king
we will provide our support in stabilizing the government
after your accession to the throne.
That's not all.
If it happens, any opposing power of you will be our opposing power...
so we will get rid of them all.
You were trying to run away?
If you abandon the throne and run away...
Yi Seong Gye will become the king after all.
Then your children, your brothers...
many members of the royal court that you have taken care of...
All of them will be killed.
My lord...
If you will become the king, take this antidote.
If you don't want to, then just spill it.
Then we will abandon Goryeo and look for another country.
Excuse us...
Please take it.
Please.
My lord...
If I take this...
I will be the king of Moomyung.
I don't know anything about that.
You have to live.
If you are not here, I will die too.
Yoon Lang...
You wouldn't know.
Once I drink this...
the world that will open up for me...
Please, my lord.
My precious lord cannot die like this deep in Mount Gumyeon.
We found him!
He's at the eastern foot of Mount Gumyeon.
Cheok attacked several of the soldiers on search and ran away.
Concentrate soldiers in that area.
Also, we can't ease our guard although he is injured.
Let's send Moo Hyool and Lee Bang Ji.
Yes.
Will he drink it?
If he doesn't drink it, he will die.
If that happens, it will become complicated.
Sir, Cheok hid himself somewhere on this mountain
after he failed the assassination.
So Yi Seong Gye's army is chasing him. Should we send our men and save him?
Leave him.
If he returns on his own, I will use him.
If he doesn't... I will abandon him.
Let's go.
We don't seem to have much time left.
Please take it now and think about the next step.
That's right, sir. Please think after you take it.
Yes, you have to live first to think about the next step.
Please take it, my lord.
After that...
After that, I will be their puppet king...
and I will die slowly.
No, once you take the antidote
if you wish to run away, you still can.
Why would you follow their words?
They must be guarding every inch of this Mount Gumyeon.
Where could I possibly go?
No, if you wish to leave...
we can go through the mountain and go anywhere.
It's the eastern foot of Mount Gumyeon.
I heard they found Cheok Sa Gwang
but he attacked several soldiers and disappeared.
What? Cheok Sa Gwang?
What do you mean, Cheok Sa Gwang?
The one who fought us last time...
That warrior is supposedly Cheok Sa Gwang.
You said you were a servant for the family.
Do you know him?
I do know...
although it was a long time ago.
Come with me. You need to confirm his face.
This way!
He bled too much.
If we caught him alive, we'd have learned more.
Your attack must have been deep.
- I wanted to defeat him... - Since he died from your attack
it is your victory.
- He knows the face of Cheok Sa Gwang. - You should check.
It's been so long... But I'll know when I see.
This won't do. Let's attack them.
We just need to make sure not to hurt the noble man.
Right.
Please, sir! It's almost time.
Please hurry up and take it.
This is not Cheok Sa Gwang.
What? He's not?
You said it was years ago. You have to look more carefully.
How do you know by glancing at him?
No need to look carefully.
I know at first glance he's not the one. Why?
Cheok Sa Gwang is a girl.
What... did I just see?
Please drink this first.
I will tell you everything.
Did you also... deceive me?
I didn't deceive you.
I just... just...
Just... what is it?
I didn't want to hold a sword, to kill people...
That's why I couldn't tell you.
There is no other intention.
Who are you?
I'm asking who you are.
I had another name in the past.
Cheok Sa Gwang.
When I was young, I killed someone.
The successor Cheok Sa Gwang killed a master of the mainland and disappeared.
Cheok Sa Gwang is a girl?
No matter how long it's been, of course I can tell apart a boy from a girl.
Then who is this man?
My goodness.
Do you know him? Is he someone you know?
I believe he is Cheok Sa Gwang's older brother.
Then...
Is Cheok Sa Gwang alive?
I am going to protect you.
It is terrible to live with a sword in hand...
but that's what I will do.
If I can be helpful...
I will fight with you!
So, please...
Please take the antidote.

[Six Flying Dragons]
- What on earth happened? - There is definitely something.
There is a secret contract or someone's fooling someone.
- How can it be Prince Jungchang? - I will convince Poeun.
If Poeun or Prince Jungchang is a Moomyung
and if we are being played by them?
Will you have a drink on the full moon day?
Yes, that sounds good.
We can't get an answer by chasing Moomyung. We have to make them show up.
- And what is this now? - Should I contact him?
- Are you Yi Bang Won? - He's here.
