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

=Episode 21=-

Those competing, come to the front.

Baek Dong Su. It is not the Sword Saint, but you?

Your Highness, this is an evil plot from those who are aiming for your life.

-=Yi San (the future King Jeongju)=- . Your Highness, this is an evil plot from those who are aiming for your life.

Your Highness, this is an evil plot from those who are aiming for your life.

To know what string they will thread next,

we have to pretend to know nothing.

=Queen Jeong Sun=-

Prince Heir, you are here.

-=Yeong Ju=- . Why are you so late?

Why are you so late?

For getting the gak gung made, I wasted some time.

-=Gak Gung: a bow made using a cow or sheep's horns as decoration=- . For getting the gak gung made, I wasted some time.

For getting the gak gung made, I wasted some time.

This really is a brilliant bow that you can't find fault in.

Listen.

This is to be given to Do Ju as his return gift.

-=Do Ju : Lord of island Daemado =- . This is to be given to Do Ju as his return gift.

This is to be given to Do Ju as his return gift.

Battle.

Your Majesty.

Before the match, I would like to do a seubsa.

-=Seubsa: testing of bow and arrow=- . Please consent.

Please consent.

Fine. Do so.

Protect His Majesty. Protect His Majesty.

Protect His Majesty...

What are you doing? Hurry and protect His Majesty.

Yes. Protect His Majesty...

You wrecked my plans every time, how can I keep you?

Please let me die, Your Excellency.

Do you want to be an assassin your whole life?

Be the tiger every year, month, day and period. This is a Sa In sword that engraves that.

I will make your name to go down in history.

If the King lives, you die. If the King dies, you live.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty...

Can you... afford to be here?

Don't tell me...

Sa... Sa Mo...

Listen!

Sound the alarm!

Capture every one of the assassins who come into the palace!

- Yes. - Yes.

Stop!

Capture all of them!

- Yes. - Yes.

What? You fellows...

Come with us.

I am not the one to catch, you fellows!

Let go!

You have captured the wrong guy!

Captain...

Tie these people up as well!

- Yes. - Yes.

This is His Excellency Hong Dae Ju's plot.

Heuk Sa Mo and the guards have all been caught?

What exactly does this mean?

The assassins that snuck into the East Palace, were all wearing guard uniforms.

Then, this is all...

It was a trap.

So, how did it go?

We dealt with the matter according to your orders.

Thanks to you, the situation seems to have turned out well.

What are you going to do about Jeon Heung Mun?

For having done a big thing for us,

we should help him out.

=Heuksa Chorong=-

You have to leave?

It seems like something big happened. Don't worry.

Have you found out anything?

Something big happened at the banquet His Majesty was holding.

It was treason.

Treason?

His Excellency Hong Dae Ju is going a bit too far.

By any chance, is that Japanese called Kenzo involved in this treason?

The specific details are still not very clear.

Inquire for more details.

Yes.

Defense Minister, what is going on?

Your Majesty.

This was treason by the East Palace guards who used to follow Crown Prince Sado.

What?

Give me the exact details.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Those dismissed guards were plotting a rebellion.

Today at sin si, they sneaked into the main hall.

-=Sin Si: 3pm to 5 pm=- . Today at sin si, they sneaked into the main hall.

Today at sin si, they sneaked into the main hall.

One of them slipped in amongst the guard officers,

with the intention to murder Your Majesty.

Thankfully, the arrow shot by the Japanese envoy killed him on the spot.

Then,

what happened to the other assassins?

We don't know why, but they all went to the Prince Heir residence.

Luckily someone called Jeon Heung Mun subdued all the assassins.

That's a relief.

Who is this Jeon Heung Mun?

He is a wrestler from Hwanghae province.

If Sword Saint without one hand were to come out for a competition this time,

for fear that it wouldn't go well, I had secretly called in that wrestler.

You mean that all the assassins died by that man's hands?

No, Your Majesty.

One of the assassins is there in prison.

His name is Heuk Sa Mo.

You fellow, you will die soon.

Yet you are over there laughing non-stop. What is there to be so happy about?

-=Jeon Heung Mun=- . Yet you are over there laughing non-stop. What is there to be so happy about?

-=Jeon Heung Mun=- . . .

-=Jeon Heung Mun=- . The one who is going to die is not me, but you.

The one who is going to die is not me, but you.

Me?

What was he talking about just now?

Come out.

You fellows! How about us? These fellows!

So, who plotted this rebellion?

I'm asking who plotted this rebellion!

Your Majesty, I am sorry to say this.

The incident this time is from His Highness Prince Heir...

Prince... Prince Heir?

Prince Heir...

is connected to the act of treason this time?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Isn't this the sword I bestowed upon the Prince Heir?

Your Majesty.

What was found in the hands of the assassin who tried to murder Your Majesty,

was really that sword.

You all listen well.

Prince Heir...

would absolutely not do such treason.

Till the truth of this treason incident comes out, everyone is to keep your lip sealed.

Whoever dares to speak nonsense,

will be killed immediately.

Do you understand?

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.

What exactly is going on?

This is all part of the plan that Hong Dae Ju thought of.

-=Gim Han Gu: Queen Jeong Sun's father=- . This is all part of the plan that Hong Dae Ju thought of.

-=Gim Han Gu: Queen Jeong Sun's father=- . But the one who took the Sa In sword from the East Palace was I.

But the one who took the Sa In sword from the East Palace was I.

But...

what about that young man who drove the Defense Minister to the edge of the cliff?

You mean the one who saved my life?

Yes, Your Majesty.

His name is Baek Dong Su.

He is the Sword Saint's disciple.

I see that he has a lot of potential.

How about making use of him?

So...

You two have to clearly identify where these assassins came from.

Look around again for any traces of evidence they may have left.

- Yes. - Yes.

This is absolutely meticulously prepared.

You help me keep an eye on the situation outside.

All right.

Master.

Are you not feeling well?

No, I am fine.

What?

So, you're saying,

Sa Mo hyeongnim is locked in prison?

Aigoo, aigoo...

Heuk Sa Mo orabeoni... Aigoo.

When the truth comes out, he will be freed.

Don't be too worried.

Imo...

So, what happened to Ji Seon?

I've looked in a lot of places, but I couldn't find her anywhere.

Tomorrow at daybreak,

I will take a look at the government office.

Fine.

Until when do you plan to remain like this?

Are you feeling a bit better now?

It was because I was worried about you, that I came over.

Then, I will get going.

Child...

Take this.

These are things that Ga Ok used.

Mother's... things?

The moonlight feels nice. The breeze also feels nice.

If I had known that you were here,

I would have come looking for you earlier.

Time goes by like the river.

Has it been three years now?

So... will you be leaving Heuksa Chorong?

I am thinking of leaving this place itself.

Though I used to only ask for favors from you, Sky Lord...

If you want to leave, I won't stop you.

But can you wait a little while?

It will be difficult?

So...

I wonder what happens now to that promise to cut off the Sword Saint's head...

Your Excellency Hong.

Never stand behind me again.

The assassin who tried to murder His Majesty died immediately.

He was His Excellency Hong Dae Ju's right-hand man.

Furthermore, as he was carrying His Highness Prince Heir's Sa In sword,

His Highness Prince Heir is being taken to have plotted the rebellion.

It seems the palace has lately been falling for the tricks from His Excellency Hong Dae Ju.

Although His Majesty has not asked His Highness Prince Heir about it,
