Warrior Baek Dong Soo (Musa Baek Dong Soo / 무사 백동수)

=Year 1762 Pyeongan Province=-

Your Royal Highness.

This is a letter from the palace.

=Crown Prince Sado=-

The Qing Dynasty's Emissary.

=Seo Yu Dae=-

How long has it been since they left the palace?

On top of the 10 days stranded at Pyeongan Province,

it will be a little over a month.

=Dalpo: A little over a month=-

=Dalpo: A little over a month=-

The Qing Emissary's group is here.

-=Gwanseoyurang: refers to Crown Prince Sado's inspection of Pyeongan Province and Hamgyeongdo=- It seems like the news of my Gwangseoyurang has reached the Qing Emperor.

Your Royal Highness.

Pyeongan and Hamgyeongdo provinces coincidentally are bordering with Qing.

The longer Your Royal Highness stays here,

the more the Qing's suspicions will grow.

In court, noron will use this issue as a perfect excuse to provoke internally.

You've just returned from Qing not long ago and I have to trouble you again.

The exhaustion from the journey has worn off.

Any development from this trip?

The geography is consistent with the one in Bukbeoljigye.

That is to say, even though it has been over a hundred years,

the Bukbeoljigye is still valuable?

-=Yu Ji Seon=- Despite its value,

now is not the right time.

Regarding the Bukbeoljigye my father left behind,

I still have some doubts that remain unsolved.

What doubts?

Your Royal Highness, it is too early to say.

I'll reconsider and raise this matter with your Royal Highness.

Please don't worry. It won't take too long.

Good then.

I'll calmly wait for your good news.

Take your time.

Yes.

In a few days' time, a merchant group from Qing will arrive.

I will arrange for security to escort you.

You don't have to worry about your safety.

Emotions such as fear, I've already abandoned them a long time ago.

The only thing I fear for

is your safety.

Now, even you... are worrying about me.

The path that Your Royal Highness is walking on... is treacherous.

No one has dared to walk on this treacherous path.

I hate myself for being unable to replace you and walk this path in your stead.

I'm afraid my inspection trip may have brought about troubles for you.

Your Royal Highness may put your mind at ease.

I've been jailed twice,

not to mention being dismissed and having my official title removed.

Thank you for thinking so.

Leaving you alone here makes me feel uneasy.

Wait for me at the Cheongamsa Temple. I will send someone to contact you.

At that time, give me your answer.

Let's go.

My heart already knows the answer.

Your Royal Highness, the person looking for answers...

is you.

The Sword Saint who made an appearance at the Shaolin Temple has disappeared again.

-=Cheon (Heuksa Chorong, Sky Lord)=- Is he back for good?

I will continue the search.

-=Ji (Heuksa Chorong, Earth Lord)=- After losing an arm, what Gim Gwang Taek that chap

After losing an arm, what Gim Gwang Taek that chap

would bring back from Qing...

I'm really curious.

Whatever the items, do they hold any significance to you?

Am I really the only one...

waiting for him?

=Hwang Jin Ju=-

Excuse me...

That...

Do we know each other?

I am sorry.

=Hwang Jin Gi=-

Have some tea.

I haven't seen you in a long time.

I haven't heard from you these couple of years. I was really worried.

The child...

The child grew up in a bandit hideout.

She's just fearless and uncouth.

Is she in the hideout now?

She was still here a moment ago.

I am sorry.

Do we know each other?

She grew up very pretty.

Thank you.

Agassi...

Hey, isn't she supposed to be a samini?

Why is she wearing a hanbok?

Told you she's a samini.

-=Samini: A novice nun before been accepted as a fully ordained female monk=- So, she's not a real monk yet.

So to speak, our long-awaited first mission turns out like this.

We should at least meet an assassin group,

-=Baek Dong Su=- We should at least meet an assassin group,

We should at least meet an assassin group,

so I can unleashed my real prowess!

-=Yeo Un=- so I can unleashed my real prowess!

so I can unleashed my real prowess!

This is such a pity.

Dong Su.

Yes?

-=Yang Cho Rip=- If you meet an assassin group with your current abilities,

-=Yang Cho Rip=- If you meet an assassin group with your current abilities,

you'll die for sure.

you'll die for sure.

You rascal, what did you say?

What's wrong with my skills?

If we were ranked,

I would be number...

That... I'll be after Yeo Un.

Joseon's Second Best Swordsman, Baek Dong Su.

It's good that you know.

What shitty Joseon's Second Best Swordsman?

Does that mean I'm Joseon's Third Best Swordsman?

Rotten brat.

They are a group of merchants returning from Qing after trading.

-=Chaekmungaesi: Government permitted private traders trading cross border at the Qing Dynasty's gate=- They are a group of merchants returning from Qing after trading.

Three horse carriages, twenty guards.

Three horse carriages, twenty guards.

Do you see the carriage with the most guards?

One look and I know it's the biggest catch!

It's mine. No one should interfere.

Boss!

Shouldn't we be reporting to the Chief first?

Wait.

Bunch of bastards!

Stop!

Charge!

Did you see it? Did you see it?

See what?

What... What "see what"?

I stopped this arrow from hitting you!

Hey... Hey...

I'm really a genius... Genius.

Yeo Un, how about letting me handle this?

Guard the horse carriage!

He actually made me guard the horse carriage, this fellow.

What is this?

I had such high expectations.

And it's only this standard?

Do not underestimate the enemy.

Cho Rip, follow me!

I'm so disappointed.

I thought I've finally encountered a man of acceptable standards.

But a kid who's barely out of puberty?

What did you say? Kid?! Barely out of puberty?

Hey! Have you seen a kid this big?

Moreover, the number of bowls of rice I've eaten is at least 3000 more than yours.

The distance of road I've walked, at least a thousand miles... No! Definitely more than ten thousand miles.

You...

Do you think having eaten more rice means you're well-versed in the matters of society?

Only making use of your brain does that!

Other than age, don't you have anything else to show off?

You're pretty well-versed in matters of society, that's why you learned to steal first!

Rotten brat!

I'm sorry. I don't have spare time to play with you.

Aish...

Aish! This wretch, really!

What's wrong, Cho Rip?

Seems like something got stuck.

Your Royal Highness. His Majesty has met with the Qing Emissary and they are having a meeting in Pyeonjeon.

How about waiting at the Gang Ryeon Jeon?

-=Im Su Ung (Training Commander)=- How about waiting at Gang Ryeon Jeon?

How about waiting at Gang Ryeon Jeon?

Your Majesty, is it true that the Crown Prince is directing military exercise at the border?

The Emperor has expressed his displeasure at this matter.

There is a misunderstanding here.

The Crown Prince did inspect the Gwanseo area,

but he did not personally direct any military exercise at all.

There are only 5000 soldiers guarding the Capital,

but along the borders of Qing, there are ten times more soldiers guarding the place!

Is this an attempt at provocation?

What exactly are you trying to do?!

Are you trying to see me humiliated by the Qing Emissary?

Very well.

You defy my orders. What exactly have you been doing for more than a month now?

-=Yeong Jo=- You defy my orders. What exactly have you been doing for more than a month now?

You defy my orders. What exactly have you been doing for more than a month now?

Hmm... You don't have to report. Over this past month,

whoever you've met with will be demoted to soldiers.

Do as you deem fit!

If you want to punish someone, just punish me. Do not punish the innocent.

Shut up!

All these time, aren't you the one causing all the troubles?

Abamama. (Abamama - used by Prince and Princess when calling their father )

Just take your leave!

As the nation's future king, how can he be so insensible?

He plotted a revolt and now he's provoking the Qing.

Why is His Majesty indulging such an insensible Crown Prince?

Although His Majesty isn't very pleased, it's still his own child.

-=Hong Dae Ju (Commander of State Tribunal)=- Although His Majesty isn't very pleased, it's still his own child.

Although His Majesty isn't very pleased, it's still his own child.

But because of this matter,

His Majesty's relationship with the Crown Prince will be at a stalemate.

His Majesty is furious and because of this the Norons will have something against you.

Your Royal Highness, can't you do something that will not provoke them?

-=Queen Jeong Sun=- Your Royal Highness, can't you do something that will not provoke them?

Your Royal Highness, can't you do something that will not provoke them?

Hearing you say this, you remind me of someone from the past.

Someone who cared for me. I'm referring to you before you became Queen.
