3
00:00:41,797 --> 00:00:44,258
This is an unexpected meeting
between Houyan and Beiwei.
4
00:00:44,974 --> 00:00:53,561
The fate of both countries depends on this.
5
00:00:56,869 --> 00:01:04,584
Your Majesty,
this isn't welcome for either party envoy.
6
00:01:05,898 --> 00:01:13,113
Your Majesty,
I have expressed Beiwei's intentions.
7
00:01:13,591 --> 00:01:16,457
Please make a decision soon.
8
00:01:16,577 --> 00:01:21,079
I am greeting envoys from Houyan.
9
00:01:22,034 --> 00:01:23,348
Wait.
10
00:01:23,468 --> 00:01:24,892
But, Your Majesty.
11
00:01:25,012 --> 00:01:32,774
Youzheng, are you trying to
interfere with his reception of us?
12
00:01:33,968 --> 00:01:38,889
Don't Beiwei envoys know their place?
13
00:01:39,664 --> 00:01:40,643
What?
14
00:01:40,763 --> 00:01:46,519
How dare you behave like
this in front of His Majesty?
15
00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:52,984
Murong Un.
16
00:01:54,178 --> 00:01:55,635
Yes, Your Majesty.
17
00:01:56,448 --> 00:01:58,120
Youzheng.
18
00:01:58,860 --> 00:01:59,959
Yes, Your Majesty.
19
00:02:01,272 --> 00:02:07,136
Yesterday's enemy could become todays' friend.
20
00:02:07,829 --> 00:02:13,800
I will listen to all your opinions.
21
00:02:15,274 --> 00:02:17,113
Thank you, Your Majesty.
22
00:02:18,713 --> 00:02:25,545
Return to your quarters
and wait for me to call you.
23
00:02:27,017 --> 00:02:29,071
Yes, Your Majesty.
24
00:02:30,504 --> 00:02:32,057
Yes, Your Majesty.
25
00:03:07,685 --> 00:03:13,824
I never expected you to cower like that.
26
00:03:18,672 --> 00:03:21,610
That's nothing compared to your brazenness.
27
00:03:22,757 --> 00:03:29,540
It was so embarrassing
to watch you be so courteous.
28
00:03:30,233 --> 00:03:32,156
What makes us so brazen?
29
00:03:32,276 --> 00:03:36,670
Aren't you embarrassed
of being defeated by Goguryeo?
30
00:03:36,790 --> 00:03:41,710
How can you show up here with your heads up high?
31
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:42,842
What?
32
00:03:45,597 --> 00:03:50,518
If we could raise power and soar again,
33
00:03:50,638 --> 00:03:55,032
we can endure that kind of humiliation any time.
34
00:03:57,103 --> 00:04:02,597
You are being shameless.
35
00:04:05,224 --> 00:04:12,521
I guess it's expected of a country where a brother
kills his own brother to become the emperor.
36
00:04:12,641 --> 00:04:13,644
You!
37
00:04:16,008 --> 00:04:19,033
You must have a death wish.
38
00:04:19,153 --> 00:04:20,036
General Fengba.
39
00:04:24,502 --> 00:04:34,456
You came to form an alliance
because you can't defeat Houyan.
40
00:04:34,576 --> 00:04:40,403
It's not because we can't defeat you.
It's to end the battle soon.
41
00:04:42,553 --> 00:04:47,165
Do you think we don't know what you're up to?
42
00:04:49,195 --> 00:04:52,396
Just achieve your goal.
43
00:04:53,041 --> 00:04:56,671
Don't say things that could embarrass you.
44
00:04:57,780 --> 00:05:03,250
Houyan is not a country
to be lectured by a Beiwei envoy.
45
00:05:04,587 --> 00:05:13,154
If you want to lecture us,
do it after you defeat us.
46
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,468
Oh!
47
00:05:30,113 --> 00:05:37,724
Your Majesty,
Goguryeo has the most advantageous position.
48
00:05:39,587 --> 00:05:45,678
Beiwei and Houyan will
both be surprised right now.
49
00:05:45,798 --> 00:05:46,872
Yes.
50
00:05:46,992 --> 00:05:53,191
We need to show our dignity.
51
00:05:53,311 --> 00:05:56,463
We have to make them bow to us.
52
00:05:56,583 --> 00:05:58,923
Make them bow to us?
53
00:05:59,043 --> 00:06:00,411
Yes.
54
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:09,607
The fate of their countries
depends on which side Goguryeo takes.
55
00:06:10,347 --> 00:06:12,091
That's right, Your Majesty.
56
00:06:12,211 --> 00:06:16,096
There is fierce territorial
dispute between Beiwei and Houyan.
57
00:06:16,621 --> 00:06:22,593
Houyan was defeated by
us and they have a new emperor.
58
00:06:22,713 --> 00:06:26,666
Beiwei has the upper hand in the battle right now.
59
00:06:27,096 --> 00:06:33,641
They probably came rushing to form
an alliance for their country's stability.
60
00:06:33,761 --> 00:06:40,029
We need to provide more
stimulation for both countries.
61
00:06:41,343 --> 00:06:42,800
Stimulation?
62
00:06:50,037 --> 00:06:53,657
General Fengba, control yourself.
63
00:06:54,206 --> 00:06:57,741
It won't do any good
to cause problems in Goguryeo.
64
00:06:59,198 --> 00:07:00,536
I'm sorry.
65
00:07:01,073 --> 00:07:02,602
I will be more careful.
66
00:07:06,853 --> 00:07:12,430
From Beiwei's attitude, things don't look good.
67
00:07:13,553 --> 00:07:15,917
I agree.
68
00:07:16,252 --> 00:07:21,607
The king of Goguryeo seems to be weighing us.
69
00:07:22,443 --> 00:07:31,161
He won't decide until he considers
all possible gains from both countries.
70
00:07:32,650 --> 00:07:35,611
He's going to make us suffer.
71
00:07:45,608 --> 00:07:48,837
Goguryeo palace
72
00:08:04,871 --> 00:08:06,018
Have a seat.
73
00:08:10,852 --> 00:08:18,038
Your Majesty, I don't want to rush you,
but please make a decision soon.
74
00:08:19,834 --> 00:08:25,279
Your Majesty,
Houyan has a marital alliance with Goguryeo.
75
00:08:26,903 --> 00:08:32,812
There have been some unfortunate incidents,
but not beyond reconciliation.
76
00:08:34,111 --> 00:08:41,659
Your Majesty, Goguryeo will rise
in status from an alliance with Beiwei.
77
00:08:44,336 --> 00:08:45,196
What?
78
00:08:46,878 --> 00:08:51,493
Goguryeo will rise in status?
79
00:08:51,613 --> 00:08:53,365
Yes, Your Majesty.
80
00:08:54,263 --> 00:08:59,767
What's wrong with Goguryeo's current status?
81
00:09:02,117 --> 00:09:04,124
Well...
82
00:09:05,270 --> 00:09:13,693
Murong Un, do you think Goguryeo
is still a small country in a border area?
83
00:09:16,463 --> 00:09:20,813
I believe you are raising
power to become a powerful nation.
84
00:09:28,323 --> 00:09:29,412
Is that so?
85
00:09:35,854 --> 00:09:37,956
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
86
00:09:39,130 --> 00:09:47,003
You sound like ignorant puppies barking away.
87
00:09:49,716 --> 00:09:50,576
What!
88
00:09:51,637 --> 00:09:56,376
Listen carefully to what I say.
89
00:10:00,602 --> 00:10:01,928
Commander!
90
00:10:14,038 --> 00:10:25,070
One word from His Majesty and Baekje could provide
50,000 soldiers and 400 ships.
91
00:10:25,835 --> 00:10:32,733
Silla can provide 20,000
soldiers and 30,000 sacks of rice.
92
00:10:33,631 --> 00:10:39,122
Mohe can provide 50,000
soldiers and 20,000 horses.
93
00:10:40,115 --> 00:10:44,931
Biryeo can provide 30,000
soldiers and 20,000 horses.
94
00:10:54,619 --> 00:11:01,345
There are royal writs
from the kings of each country.
95
00:11:02,606 --> 00:11:14,022
More importantly,
we haven't mentioned what Goguryeo can provide.
96
00:11:15,767 --> 00:11:18,574
- Commander.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
97
00:11:21,555 --> 00:11:27,412
Goguryeo can provide 200,000
soldiers of the Central Army,
98
00:11:27,532 --> 00:11:36,304
70,000 special Cheongun soldiers
and over 50,000 cavalry soldiers.
99
00:11:42,742 --> 00:11:48,150
These soldiers are on standby
to go to battle at any time.
100
00:11:49,010 --> 00:11:53,416
That number excludes the
soldiers defending our fortresses.
101
00:11:55,041 --> 00:11:57,907
- Youzheng.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
102
00:11:58,767 --> 00:12:05,230
Do you still think Goguryeo's status
will rise only with an alliance with Beiwei?
103
00:12:14,085 --> 00:12:22,053
Your Majesty,
forget an alliance with Beiwei or Houyan.
104
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:29,493
We could attack both countries with no problem.
105
00:12:29,894 --> 00:12:31,346
Yes, Your Majesty.
106
00:12:31,872 --> 00:12:35,865
An alliance should be beneficial for both parties,
107
00:12:36,916 --> 00:12:40,050
but Goguryeo is only helping.
108
00:12:40,170 --> 00:12:43,383
It's a loss for us.
109
00:12:50,090 --> 00:13:00,966
The envoys will think about what
is necessary for an alliance with Goguryeo.
110
00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:04,025
Leave us.
111
00:13:55,457 --> 00:14:01,801
Your Majesty, I'm sure they're all very afraid.
112
00:14:02,433 --> 00:14:11,338
It felt so good to see them leave like that.
113
00:14:12,353 --> 00:14:16,939
You have to shake them up now.
114
00:14:17,913 --> 00:14:22,270
The more you shake them,
the more fruits we will gain.
115
00:14:23,991 --> 00:14:25,328
I will.
116
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:32,284
Your Majesty,
which country should we form an alliance with?
117
00:14:32,570 --> 00:14:37,120
It should be Beiwei.
118
00:14:37,884 --> 00:14:39,298
Beiwei?
119
00:14:39,871 --> 00:14:45,430
Houyan is an abominable enemy.
120
00:14:46,194 --> 00:14:51,545
Many of our people were sacrificed
including commander Ko Mu.
121
00:14:52,500 --> 00:15:00,871
That's true, but if we want practical benefits,
we should choose Houyan.
122
00:15:01,998 --> 00:15:03,107
Houyan?
123
00:15:04,122 --> 00:15:05,096
Yes.
124
00:15:05,383 --> 00:15:08,794
Whether we like it or not,
Princess Damju is in Houyan.
125
00:15:08,914 --> 00:15:15,291
There will be a direct influence
since we border each other.
126
00:15:16,476 --> 00:15:21,922
We can't make any decision yet.
127
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:27,637
There is no need for us to make a move first.
128
00:15:28,574 --> 00:15:29,873
That's right.
129
00:15:29,993 --> 00:15:35,128
We just have to choose from whatever they propose.
130
00:15:36,064 --> 00:15:39,862
It feels good to hear that.
131
00:15:39,982 --> 00:15:46,412
We just have to sit here and wait, right?
132
00:15:48,628 --> 00:15:55,222
Goguryeo will rule over the
powerful nations of the Central Plain.
133
00:15:58,547 --> 00:16:06,967
There are some things commander
Hwang and general Mo Duyeong have to do.
134
00:16:07,254 --> 00:16:09,299
Just give the order.
135
00:16:15,281 --> 00:16:17,402
General. General.
136
00:16:18,376 --> 00:16:21,204
Houyan envoys' quarters
What did you find out?
137
00:16:21,324 --> 00:16:24,615
We looked into it as you asked.
138
00:16:24,735 --> 00:16:30,050
There are over 20,000 soldiers
training near Gungnaeseong.
139
00:16:31,426 --> 00:16:32,821
20,000?
140
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:34,617
That's it?
141
00:16:35,343 --> 00:16:43,017
According to the people, different
units are taking turns training for 15 days.
142
00:16:46,494 --> 00:16:50,395
The king of Goguryeo wouldn't lie.
143
00:16:51,255 --> 00:16:54,293
What are you going to do?
144
00:16:55,344 --> 00:17:00,484
We must form an alliance with Goguryeo first.
145
00:17:02,499 --> 00:17:06,550
Can we find out what Beiwei
would offer to negotiate?
146
00:17:08,976 --> 00:17:10,429
Probably not.
147
00:17:12,073 --> 00:17:16,946
We need to offer something better.
148
00:17:19,171 --> 00:17:21,648
Did you find out what the generals are thinking?
149
00:17:21,768 --> 00:17:23,100
Yes, prince.
150
00:17:23,406 --> 00:17:28,584
Commander Hwang Hoe said
they should choose Houyan.
151
00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:30,820
He did?
152
00:17:32,765 --> 00:17:37,571
He is always calm and sensible.
153
00:17:39,290 --> 00:17:43,855
He wouldn't just follow his emotions.
154
00:17:47,008 --> 00:17:51,498
Ask him for a secret meeting.
155
00:17:51,937 --> 00:17:53,523
Yes, prince.
156
00:17:54,155 --> 00:17:55,932
Jubu, go and...
157
00:17:56,052 --> 00:18:03,029
General Fengba, go in person.
Be as courteous as possible.
158
00:18:04,061 --> 00:18:06,278
Yes, prince.
159
00:18:17,994 --> 00:18:20,402
Beiwei envoys' quarters
160
00:18:20,899 --> 00:18:26,229
We looked into it and everything
the king of Goguryeo said is true.
161
00:18:27,930 --> 00:18:32,344
We looked down on Goguryeo too much.
162
00:18:32,707 --> 00:18:34,580
What should we do?
163
00:18:35,067 --> 00:18:40,933
Houyan moved so quickly.
We gave Goguryeo more power.
164
00:18:43,407 --> 00:18:48,489
We must form an alliance with Goguryeo first.
165
00:18:48,609 --> 00:18:50,114
No matter what.
166
00:18:50,644 --> 00:18:54,657
How about meeting general Mo Duyeong?
167
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,236
General Mo Duyeong?
168
00:18:57,356 --> 00:18:58,345
Yes.
169
00:18:58,465 --> 00:19:03,792
He said Goguryeo should
form an alliance with Beiwei.
170
00:19:06,849 --> 00:19:08,779
Can you set up a meeting?
171
00:19:09,615 --> 00:19:10,418
Yes.
172
00:19:27,652 --> 00:19:28,760
Commander!
173
00:19:34,356 --> 00:19:38,331
General Fengba, what brings you here?
174
00:19:38,451 --> 00:19:43,669
Prince Murong Un would like to meet you.
175
00:19:44,719 --> 00:19:48,885
- Prince Murong Un?
- Yes.
176
00:19:50,337 --> 00:19:52,673
Where is he?
177
00:19:54,851 --> 00:19:58,654
He is waiting in the envoys' quarters.
178
00:20:00,010 --> 00:20:01,654
I will lead the way.
179
00:20:21,518 --> 00:20:23,834
Your Majesty. Your Majesty.
180
00:20:26,146 --> 00:20:28,917
What are the envoys up to?
181
00:20:29,251 --> 00:20:33,359
They are moving busily as expected.
182
00:20:33,479 --> 00:20:37,197
They sent spies to confirm
the number of our soldiers.
183
00:20:38,553 --> 00:20:41,095
They're trying hard.
184
00:20:41,668 --> 00:20:46,369
They are trying to set
up connections in our court.
185
00:20:47,607 --> 00:20:54,123
They are desperate for help.
186
00:20:54,849 --> 00:20:55,938
Yes, Your Majesty.
187
00:20:56,397 --> 00:21:00,437
Murong Un is meeting with commander Hwang and
188
00:21:00,557 --> 00:21:04,010
Beiwei is meeting with general Mo Duyeong.
189
00:21:04,583 --> 00:21:07,239
Make them as anxious as possible.
190
00:21:07,937 --> 00:21:11,051
We will gain more that way.
191
00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:12,446
Yes, Your Majesty.
192
00:21:12,566 --> 00:21:16,688
I will let the military advisor know.
193
00:21:24,851 --> 00:21:26,819
Beiwei, Houyan...
194
00:21:37,408 --> 00:21:39,796
Welcome, commander.
195
00:21:40,695 --> 00:21:45,758
I heard on the way here,
but it seems you're a bit late.
196
00:21:46,602 --> 00:21:50,806
His Majesty is going to
meet the Beiwei envoy privately.
197
00:21:57,074 --> 00:22:03,533
I thought an alliance
with Houyan would be better.
198
00:22:06,878 --> 00:22:10,317
Thank you for your concern.
199
00:22:12,247 --> 00:22:15,362
I'll get going then.
200
00:22:17,473 --> 00:22:24,056
You still have a chance,
so think about it and be prudent.
201
00:22:24,553 --> 00:22:29,933
I'm sure there could be a
way to change His Majesty's mind.
202
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,379
I understand.
203
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,360
Goodbye then.
204
00:22:43,373 --> 00:22:45,742
Are you going to give up like this?
205
00:22:45,862 --> 00:22:50,094
What are you talking about?
206
00:22:50,214 --> 00:22:51,088
Then?
207
00:22:52,999 --> 00:22:56,675
We have to get the bones even
if that means giving all our flesh.
208
00:22:56,795 --> 00:22:58,892
Give all our flesh?
209
00:22:59,012 --> 00:23:04,433
We will have to give up Liaoyangcheng
and the surrounding area.
210
00:23:04,553 --> 00:23:09,776
We will also have to use
the migrants as a bargaining chip.
211
00:23:09,896 --> 00:23:12,202
You can't do that.
212
00:23:13,062 --> 00:23:17,892
Liaoyangcheng is the gateway to Houyan.
213
00:23:18,012 --> 00:23:22,956
Giving that up would be like
opening our front gate to Goguryeo.
214
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:24,675
I know that.
215
00:23:24,795 --> 00:23:30,616
How about using princess Damju?
216
00:23:30,921 --> 00:23:31,934
No.
217
00:23:32,813 --> 00:23:36,425
That would only cause rage
and result in a negative effect.
218
00:23:37,514 --> 00:23:42,464
She must remain in Houyan for the future.
219
00:23:42,584 --> 00:23:44,719
But Liaoyangcheng is...
220
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:50,742
I was given full authority
to achieve this alliance.
221
00:23:51,048 --> 00:23:53,360
Do as I say.
222
00:23:54,602 --> 00:24:00,849
We don't have a choice. This is the only way.
223
00:24:02,148 --> 00:24:08,129
Damdeok will be interested
when I mention the migrants.
224
00:24:12,088 --> 00:24:13,445
I understand.
225
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,978
General. General.
226
00:24:27,067 --> 00:24:30,105
How did it go?
Did he allow a private meeting?
227
00:24:34,338 --> 00:24:35,656
Just give up.
228
00:24:36,459 --> 00:24:39,213
Give up? What do you mean?
229
00:24:40,493 --> 00:24:44,592
Murong Un met His Majesty in private.
230
00:24:45,222 --> 00:24:52,395
He offered Liaoyangcheng
and a dozen nearby fortresses.
231
00:24:52,968 --> 00:24:56,637
Houyan is giving up Liaoyangcheng?
232
00:24:57,574 --> 00:25:02,193
I don't think an alliance
will be possible with Beiwei.
233
00:25:02,652 --> 00:25:05,078
He can't do that.
234
00:25:05,198 --> 00:25:08,499
He has to listen to our offer, too.
235
00:25:09,053 --> 00:25:12,072
Houyan made such a great offer.
236
00:25:12,794 --> 00:25:17,743
There won't be much you can
do to change His Majesty's mind.
237
00:25:17,863 --> 00:25:24,554
I didn't want another alliance with Houyan.
238
00:25:27,497 --> 00:25:30,650
I guess this is as much as I can do to help you.
239
00:25:31,557 --> 00:25:33,688
I'm sorry I couldn't do more.
240
00:25:34,436 --> 00:25:38,143
No, you helped a lot.
241
00:25:39,557 --> 00:25:40,646
Goodbye then.
242
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,047
What should we do?
243
00:25:52,614 --> 00:25:57,095
If Goguryeo helps Houyan,
we will be at a disadvantage.
244
00:25:58,260 --> 00:26:00,439
We can't let that happen.
245
00:26:00,878 --> 00:26:01,948
Then?
246
00:26:03,362 --> 00:26:06,248
I will suggest a marital alliance.
247
00:26:06,522 --> 00:26:08,184
A marital alliance?
248
00:26:08,929 --> 00:26:10,878
With princess Xu.
249
00:26:11,872 --> 00:26:14,738
But, she...
250
00:26:15,636 --> 00:26:21,389
We have to pay any price to prevent
an alliance between Goguryeo and Houyan.
251
00:26:21,509 --> 00:26:24,638
The future of Beiwei depends on it.
252
00:26:25,054 --> 00:26:28,015
Will the emperor approve?
253
00:26:28,875 --> 00:26:34,205
I already discussed this
much before I came and he approved.
254
00:26:34,644 --> 00:26:39,727
That would make the princess
a hostage of Goguryeo.
255
00:26:40,205 --> 00:26:45,983
His Majesty said any sacrifice
is alright if it means the fall of Houyan.
256
00:26:47,836 --> 00:26:50,941
I have to meet the king of Goguryeo.
257
00:26:51,061 --> 00:26:52,068
Yes.
258
00:26:58,158 --> 00:27:01,560
The Goguryeo migrants and Liaoyangcheng?
259
00:27:02,228 --> 00:27:03,490
Yes.
260
00:27:04,942 --> 00:27:06,757
Can you keep that promise?
261
00:27:06,877 --> 00:27:08,362
Yes, Your Majesty.
262
00:27:09,245 --> 00:27:11,996
I was given full authority to negotiate.
263
00:27:20,179 --> 00:27:23,905
I don't trust everything yet.
264
00:27:25,109 --> 00:27:31,654
Your Majesty,
a marital alliance is a blood alliance.
265
00:27:31,998 --> 00:27:37,045
The princess is much loved by our emperor.
266
00:27:37,369 --> 00:27:42,185
Is it the greatest offer
Beiwei could make to Goguryeo.
267
00:27:44,019 --> 00:27:56,516
You want me to reject Houyan's
offer and attack them from behind?
268
00:27:57,146 --> 00:27:58,732
Yes, Your Majesty.
269
00:27:59,153 --> 00:28:03,108
Beiwei will attack Houyan first.
270
00:28:03,834 --> 00:28:07,938
Goguryeo only has to pressure Houyan.
271
00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:21,270
I will think about it in a positive manner.
272
00:28:22,742 --> 00:28:24,385
Thank you, Your Majesty.
273
00:28:37,553 --> 00:28:42,159
I trust you will keep your promise.
274
00:28:42,866 --> 00:28:44,394
Of course, Your Majesty.
275
00:28:44,834 --> 00:28:48,885
I will believe Goguryeo will, too.
276
00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:49,686
General Fengba.
277
00:29:51,053 --> 00:29:52,027
Yes.
278
00:30:03,417 --> 00:30:04,544
Houyan...
279
00:30:48,188 --> 00:30:51,475
Beiwei... Houyan...
280
00:30:56,235 --> 00:30:59,235
Gungnaeseong, capital of Goguryeo
281
00:31:10,224 --> 00:31:13,549
Your Majesty, what is going on?
282
00:31:19,227 --> 00:31:20,679
Don't be surprised.
283
00:31:21,596 --> 00:31:25,265
I called the both of you.
284
00:31:28,576 --> 00:31:31,080
I would like to hear your explanation.
285
00:31:32,494 --> 00:31:37,923
Goguryeo formed a marital alliance with Beiwei.
286
00:31:41,763 --> 00:31:42,623
Your Majesty.
287
00:31:42,743 --> 00:31:46,598
Goguryeo also has an alliance with Houyan.
288
00:31:48,867 --> 00:31:53,931
Are you kidding?
289
00:31:55,364 --> 00:32:00,417
How can you form an alliance
with two countries that are enemies?
290
00:32:09,017 --> 00:32:13,622
Goguryeo is in a neutral position.
291
00:32:14,157 --> 00:32:21,611
It doesn't matter what country
Goguryeo forms an alliance with.
292
00:32:23,254 --> 00:32:28,719
This action only shows
Goguryeo gaining benefits and
293
00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:33,268
having no consideration for Houyan or Beiwei.
294
00:32:33,555 --> 00:32:35,408
Yes.
295
00:32:35,528 --> 00:32:38,618
This is utterly inappropriate.
296
00:32:40,697 --> 00:32:45,187
Houyan is giving up
Liaoyangcheng and the migrants,
297
00:32:45,858 --> 00:32:51,973
but will be gaining greater support,
so there should be no loss.
298
00:32:52,093 --> 00:32:57,090
What is it that we are gaining?
299
00:32:58,245 --> 00:33:08,665
We will not attack Houyan and
save Houyan from danger of battle.
300
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:17,622
The marriage with princess
Xu will be a sacred national wedding.
301
00:33:17,742 --> 00:33:26,275
Beiwei should cease battle
against Houyan during that time.
302
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:32,267
That puts Beiwei at a great disadvantage.
303
00:33:32,387 --> 00:33:39,691
Beiwei is at an advantage
regarding the current battle.
304
00:33:42,834 --> 00:33:54,444
The condition for a marital
alliance is a ceasefire.
305
00:33:59,354 --> 00:34:01,934
Do you refuse?
306
00:34:02,325 --> 00:34:07,389
If you don't want an alliance, that's fine.
307
00:34:13,261 --> 00:34:20,293
But then Goguryeo will
have an alliance with Houyan.
308
00:34:20,584 --> 00:34:27,153
The future of both countries
depends on Goguryeo's decision.
309
00:34:27,602 --> 00:34:32,380
The fate of your countries
depends on which one Goguryeo helps.
310
00:34:33,306 --> 00:34:39,407
That's why you came here.
311
00:34:44,765 --> 00:34:50,754
Youzheng, did you just
say that you are at an advantage?
312
00:34:51,220 --> 00:34:59,030
What do you think will happen
if Goguryeo attacks Beiwei with Houyan?
313
00:35:02,424 --> 00:35:10,680
Murong Un, do you want Goguryeo
to attack Houyan with Beiwei?
314
00:35:11,745 --> 00:35:13,253
Your Majesty.
315
00:35:13,741 --> 00:35:16,569
If neither of you are satisfied,
316
00:35:16,689 --> 00:35:23,133
I will discuss the matter again and make a choice.
317
00:35:25,434 --> 00:35:28,300
No, Your Majesty.
318
00:35:32,275 --> 00:35:33,632
Wait!
319
00:35:35,277 --> 00:35:37,360
We will accept the ceasefire.
320
00:35:48,751 --> 00:35:50,279
Thank you.
321
00:35:53,127 --> 00:35:58,286
I'm sure you needed our
soldiers to battle against Beiwei.
322
00:35:58,406 --> 00:36:04,019
You don't need reinforcements
since there will be a ceasefire.
323
00:36:05,051 --> 00:36:06,369
Yes, Your Majesty.
324
00:36:07,898 --> 00:36:15,293
This is the best thing for all three countries.
325
00:36:16,919 --> 00:36:18,677
Do you have anything more to say?
326
00:36:58,246 --> 00:37:02,222
We've been had by Goguryeo.
327
00:37:03,082 --> 00:37:07,286
I didn't know the king of Goguryeo
was so clever and manipulative.
328
00:37:07,406 --> 00:37:10,606
He isn't manipulative. He is superior.
329
00:37:10,726 --> 00:37:15,784
He weighed Beiwei and Houyan
and got everything he wanted.
330
00:37:16,491 --> 00:37:18,746
Not everyone can do that.
331
00:37:19,405 --> 00:37:22,348
What should we do now?
332
00:37:23,265 --> 00:37:26,835
We are at a greater disadvantage than Houyan,
333
00:37:26,955 --> 00:37:29,567
but there is nothing we can do right now.
334
00:37:29,687 --> 00:37:34,115
At least Goguryeo won't attack us with Houyan.
335
00:37:35,261 --> 00:37:41,220
We will repay them for this humiliation.
336
00:37:42,023 --> 00:37:43,036
Yes.
337
00:37:44,392 --> 00:37:51,157
If Goguryeo doesn't fully take our side,
we will make them pay.
338
00:37:52,265 --> 00:37:54,501
Prepare to return to Beiwei.
339
00:37:55,781 --> 00:38:00,891
The marriage must take place soon.
Goguryeo must become a friendly nation.
340
00:38:01,559 --> 00:38:04,177
Understood.
341
00:38:17,361 --> 00:38:20,819
We were played by Goguryeo again.
342
00:38:22,176 --> 00:38:24,794
How are we to face His Majesty?
343
00:38:26,647 --> 00:38:31,320
We achieved a more advantageous
result than Beiwei.
344
00:38:33,346 --> 00:38:35,218
Yes, but...
345
00:38:35,505 --> 00:38:39,904
For now, we have to be satisfied that
346
00:38:40,024 --> 00:38:43,324
Goguryeo isn't attacking Houyan with Beiwei.
347
00:38:43,707 --> 00:38:49,210
With the alliance,
we don't have to worry about Goguryeo for a while.
348
00:38:49,573 --> 00:38:56,468
The problem is Liaoyangcheng and the migrants.
349
00:38:58,570 --> 00:39:01,761
We have to keep our promise.
350
00:39:03,303 --> 00:39:05,443
With the time we buy during the ceasefire,
351
00:39:05,563 --> 00:39:12,074
we will have to raise power
to fight Goguryeo and Beiwei.
352
00:39:14,444 --> 00:39:16,698
Prepare to return to Houyan.
353
00:39:18,781 --> 00:39:21,743
Make preparations to return to Houyan.
354
00:39:22,459 --> 00:39:23,644
Yes, sir.
355
00:39:44,253 --> 00:39:49,622
Goguryeo gained quite a bit from all this.
356
00:39:51,197 --> 00:39:56,127
It's thanks to all of you.
357
00:39:56,968 --> 00:39:59,127
Thank you, Your Majesty.
358
00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:09,045
This will let the whole world know
that Goguryeo is a leader of the northwest.
359
00:40:09,165 --> 00:40:11,542
That's right.
360
00:40:12,211 --> 00:40:17,676
No country can take Goguryeo lightly now.
361
00:40:18,498 --> 00:40:27,440
Beiwei and Houyan think they
lost a lot and left unsatisfied.
362
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:36,035
We must keep in mind that they
could form an alliance and attack us.
363
00:40:37,927 --> 00:40:41,615
We will have to watch them carefully.
364
00:40:42,652 --> 00:40:49,493
They won't easily attack now
that they've seen how powerful we are.
365
00:40:54,845 --> 00:41:00,424
I'm worried about after the ceasefire.
366
00:41:02,087 --> 00:41:08,105
Houyan and Beiwei will want
to settle the matter and battle again.
367
00:41:08,225 --> 00:41:14,430
They will come to ask for help again.
368
00:41:15,844 --> 00:41:17,392
Probably.
369
00:41:18,042 --> 00:41:22,093
We will have to make a
decision when the time comes.
370
00:41:23,144 --> 00:41:25,699
Houyan or Beiwei.
371
00:41:26,922 --> 00:41:29,635
What's to worry about?
372
00:41:29,755 --> 00:41:34,488
If nothing works, we can annihilate them all.
373
00:41:36,528 --> 00:41:40,522
There is one concern.
374
00:41:42,108 --> 00:41:47,059
Do you mean princess Damju?
375
00:41:48,110 --> 00:41:49,066
That's right.
376
00:41:50,155 --> 00:41:54,263
They didn't bring her up this time.
377
00:41:54,383 --> 00:41:59,017
That was very strange.
378
00:41:59,858 --> 00:42:01,252
Yes.
379
00:42:01,558 --> 00:42:08,070
They're probably saving
her for an important moment.
380
00:42:12,350 --> 00:42:17,375
Shouldn't we bring her back?
381
00:42:17,739 --> 00:42:24,770
Just give the order and I'll...
382
00:42:24,890 --> 00:42:25,936
Yeo Seokgae.
383
00:42:26,692 --> 00:42:27,399
Yes.
384
00:42:27,685 --> 00:42:35,539
This isn't the time, but be prepared.
385
00:42:35,879 --> 00:42:41,745
Be sure to keep tabs on Damju.
386
00:42:42,987 --> 00:42:44,765
Yes, Your Majesty.
387
00:42:52,265 --> 00:42:55,476
Zhongsan, capital of Houyan
388
00:43:01,485 --> 00:43:05,690
The national wedding is over.
389
00:43:06,263 --> 00:43:10,123
It's time to pull the reins.
390
00:43:11,403 --> 00:43:12,645
Yes, Your Majesty.
391
00:43:12,765 --> 00:43:14,405
The ceasefire is over.
392
00:43:14,525 --> 00:43:17,997
We must settle the battle against Beiwei.
393
00:43:18,911 --> 00:43:23,115
But you will have to be more prudent.
394
00:43:23,765 --> 00:43:25,437
What do you mean?
395
00:43:25,557 --> 00:43:29,870
We don't know which side Goguryeo will take.
396
00:43:30,692 --> 00:43:37,516
There is a way to make
Goguryeo completely our side.
397
00:43:38,586 --> 00:43:39,847
There is?
398
00:43:40,134 --> 00:43:41,548
Yes, Your Majesty.
399
00:43:42,771 --> 00:43:45,527
We can use princess Damju.
400
00:43:47,285 --> 00:43:49,004
Princess Damju?
401
00:43:50,285 --> 00:43:52,845
How is she?
402
00:43:53,514 --> 00:43:58,386
She is staying in the detached
palace with prince Huwang.
403
00:44:00,316 --> 00:44:01,615
Is that so?
404
00:44:03,201 --> 00:44:07,430
I will go and see her.
405
00:44:30,726 --> 00:44:33,898
What brings you here?
406
00:44:34,968 --> 00:44:43,051
I felt that I neglected the
two if you since my brother died.
407
00:44:44,274 --> 00:44:46,338
Thank you for your concern.
408
00:44:53,601 --> 00:44:55,703
You've grown a lot.
409
00:45:02,496 --> 00:45:05,072
You don't have to worry.
410
00:45:05,192 --> 00:45:08,855
I just want to talk to you.
411
00:45:15,766 --> 00:45:19,912
Do you know we formed an alliance with Goguryeo?
412
00:45:21,384 --> 00:45:23,409
Yes, Your Majesty.
413
00:45:23,529 --> 00:45:29,532
I would like your help in
maintaining friendly relations.
414
00:45:30,870 --> 00:45:32,647
- My help?
- Yes.
415
00:45:32,767 --> 00:45:39,061
We will be going to battle against Beiwei again.
416
00:45:40,322 --> 00:45:49,188
I would like you to send a letter
to the king of Goguryeo asking for help.
417
00:45:51,997 --> 00:45:57,806
This is necessary for
the future of both countries.
418
00:45:59,717 --> 00:46:06,711
I don't want to be involved
in battle or politics anymore.
419
00:46:15,006 --> 00:46:17,796
What is with this attitude?
420
00:46:17,916 --> 00:46:26,206
You passed on important
secrets to Goguryeo several times.
421
00:46:27,314 --> 00:46:31,479
You don't want to be involved?
422
00:46:31,900 --> 00:46:36,046
I will not be a part of it no matter what you say.
423
00:46:36,897 --> 00:46:40,183
Besides, it wouldn't be any use.
424
00:46:43,895 --> 00:46:48,538
Mashi, take prince Huwang.
425
00:46:48,658 --> 00:46:49,857
Yes, Your Majesty.
426
00:46:50,578 --> 00:46:52,317
You can't take him.
427
00:46:52,727 --> 00:46:54,141
- No!
- Let's go.
428
00:46:54,261 --> 00:46:55,230
No!
429
00:46:57,161 --> 00:46:59,893
Huwang! Huwang!
430
00:47:03,065 --> 00:47:06,600
What are you going to do to him?
431
00:47:07,785 --> 00:47:10,059
He didn't do anything wrong.
432
00:47:10,179 --> 00:47:13,766
Of course not.
433
00:47:14,435 --> 00:47:19,950
If anyone did any wrong,
it's you for taking Houyan lightly.
434
00:47:21,230 --> 00:47:26,198
That crime is usually paid for with life.
435
00:47:27,364 --> 00:47:33,223
Are you saying you would kill Huwang?
436
00:47:34,427 --> 00:47:40,148
If you don't want that,
you will have to listen to me.
437
00:47:40,268 --> 00:47:47,341
Huwang is the former emperor's son!
438
00:47:47,461 --> 00:47:49,358
That's why it's more of a problem.
439
00:47:50,449 --> 00:47:53,916
Who knows when he will rebel?
440
00:47:54,677 --> 00:47:58,754
He might try to take the throne.
441
00:47:59,363 --> 00:48:03,390
Just kill me.
442
00:48:03,695 --> 00:48:06,342
You can't die just like that.
443
00:48:07,390 --> 00:48:12,539
Remember that your life belongs to Houyan.
444
00:48:12,659 --> 00:48:17,092
So does Huwang's life.
445
00:48:19,225 --> 00:48:20,654
Your Majesty.
446
00:48:21,135 --> 00:48:25,668
Let me know when you decide
to send a letter to Goguryeo.
447
00:48:25,973 --> 00:48:30,809
Then you can see Huwang.
448
00:49:04,508 --> 00:49:05,670
General Fengba.
449
00:49:06,641 --> 00:49:07,784
Yes, Your Majesty.
450
00:49:08,227 --> 00:49:10,951
Leave for Goguryeo.
451
00:49:12,817 --> 00:49:14,589
Goguryeo?
452
00:49:14,709 --> 00:49:20,772
Let them know that princess
Damju has been confined.
453
00:49:21,324 --> 00:49:23,667
Tell them what her crime is.
454
00:49:24,486 --> 00:49:26,048
Yes, Your Majesty.
455
00:49:26,429 --> 00:49:32,899
You are going alone,
but you should return with Goguryeo soldiers.
456
00:49:34,365 --> 00:49:36,251
Yes, Your Majesty.
457
00:49:47,325 --> 00:49:51,135
Gungnaeseong, capital of Goguryeo
458
00:49:55,363 --> 00:49:56,506
Your Majesty.
459
00:49:57,287 --> 00:49:58,506
Your Majesty.
460
00:50:00,981 --> 00:50:02,124
Did you find out?
461
00:50:02,244 --> 00:50:09,590
As you expected, there are signs of a battle.
462
00:50:10,254 --> 00:50:11,320
What?
463
00:50:11,663 --> 00:50:18,406
As soon as the wedding period is over?
464
00:50:19,985 --> 00:50:21,299
What about Damju?
465
00:50:21,419 --> 00:50:26,099
I'm sorry, but it as you expected.
466
00:50:26,823 --> 00:50:32,986
They have her confined.
467
00:50:34,523 --> 00:50:35,418
What?
468
00:50:35,994 --> 00:50:43,252
She refused to write a letter
to you asking to help Houyan.
469
00:50:45,434 --> 00:50:49,358
They're using Damju like this?
470
00:50:50,139 --> 00:50:56,701
Your Majesty, Fengba is on his way to Goguryeo.
471
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,872
Murong Xi, that wicked little...
472
00:51:00,992 --> 00:51:10,482
Houyan could use princess
Damju like this at any time.
473
00:51:12,543 --> 00:51:18,105
Goguryeo can't be dragged
along because of Damju and
474
00:51:18,658 --> 00:51:24,063
I can't leave Damju and Huwang in all that danger.
475
00:51:28,787 --> 00:51:35,756
I'm going to Houyan to rescue Damju.
476
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,080
Your Majesty!
477
00:51:38,651 --> 00:51:42,518
She is in this danger because of me.
478
00:51:42,638 --> 00:51:45,803
I will not just sit by and watch.
479
00:51:45,923 --> 00:51:50,964
But it's too dangerous for you to go in person.
480
00:51:51,326 --> 00:51:53,403
That's right, Your Majesty.
481
00:51:53,523 --> 00:51:54,463
Your Majesty!
482
00:51:55,491 --> 00:51:57,015
It's what I must do.
483
00:51:58,368 --> 00:52:02,063
I will save Damju.
484
00:52:02,799 --> 00:52:04,361
I will!
485
