Slave Hunt (Chuno)
Chapter 16
They continued to fight, their movement speed was commensurate. But Dae Gil is first critical.Tae Ha's weapon is longer, Dae Gil loses. Tae Ha but didn't hurt him one bit.
Un Nyun finally searches out she feels someone has kidnapped the prince.
“I promised him I wouldn't kill you” Tae Ha said.
“I promise as hard as I can will kill you”, Dae gil said. Tae ha held out his weapon. “For the sake of your love in the past, I let go of you”, Tae Ha said
“Who loves? Do you think I would love a servant/slave in my family?”, said Dae Gil coldly
Tae Ha was astonished to hear the word slave. “Who do you mean by slave?”, asked Tae Ha confused.
Hwan Chul Woong has ordered the police to bring the bodies of Wang son and Choi from the forest. Their bodies were pulled by ox carts. Once in town they realize, they are alive. General Choi woke Wang Son. He said they should escape now, because it would be more dangerous if they were caught.
With the remnants of their manpower working together crippled the officers. They fled in a cow cart.
In the palace there were 2 kinds of fortresses who said their opinion to the king. Lee Gyong-shik's camp wants them to be independent from China. Others want them to recognize the prince Won Son and cooperate with China. When Tae Ha is not concentrating, Dae Gil attacks Tae Ha. He was almost injured, the bun on his head came off. Dae Gil is more eager to attack Tae Ha. But Tae Ha is starting to not concentrate
“Do you call my wife a slave?”. Dae Gil ignored him, he let Tae Ha confused while fighting.Tae Ha remembers the times when his wife seemed anxious to hear the word slave hunter, also his wife always called him Master. Also when Un Nyun cried yesterday wanted to say something to him
“Not, he's not a slave!”. Tae Ha has not been able to accept that possibility. They keep fighting.
Un Nyun arrived at the market, she from a distance saw the noble who was carrying the prince. He then followed them. Un Nyun persuaded them to return the prince but they refused. Un Nyun is making sense. He then said that it is very unnatural if in front of many people, men carry children. People can be suspicious and princes can be in danger. He promised to carry the prince to the edge of the city. Un Nyun also does not want to walk in front, he chose the road behind, afraid of looking strange in the eyes of people.
Hwang Chul Woon after killing the noble and Tae Ha's men he searches for the prince. Hwang Chul Woong then intercepted Un Nyun's entourage and a nobleman was killed. Chul Woong threatened Mr. Y asks the prince Won Son. It turned out that Un Nyun was no longer behind them.
He had escaped while carrying the prince. Dae Gil is still fighting Tae Ha they keep fighting in balance until the sun starts moving down. They were finally exhausted. Tae collapses on the ground as well as Dae Gil collapses over Tae Ha's body. While asleep Tae Ha still asks for Un Nyun status. “Say that he is not a slave”.
Dae Gil laughed, with the rest of his strength about to take revenge for his friends. He took Choi's hairpin. He intended to stick it to Tae Ha.
“General Choiii”, cried Dae Gil while stabbing, but he could not bear to stab Tae Ha in the head.
“This is for Son” money, cried Dae Gil while stabbing, but again he did not reach the heart, he stabbed to the side.
The last prick for Un Nyun but he was getting unable to, his hairpick fell off. Dae Gil finally shouted while crying. He then lay on the ground beside Tae Ha. Tae Ha is tired physically and mentally. He still could not believe that Un Nyun was born a slave. Mind empty.
Back to the Eop Bok rebellion. The slaves were relieved to be saved by the young Helper. This young man turned out to be the one who always sent a message helping their rebellion.
He then went to Eop Bok headquarters. He introduced himself as a young man named Geun Bo who from childhood had been born as a slave. He was then separated from his parents. He said he was coordinating similar rebellions elsewhere. The young man told him his dream, that the world must change. Later the slaves should be treated with respect and they are equal. All are kings. The slaves were amazed by the cleverness and insight of the young man. One of them is lying.
“People as smart as you why not take the state exam?”. they finally realize there are no slaves who can take the state exam.
After the meeting Eop Bok pondered, he spoke to Chop Bok
“If our struggle is successful and we are in power, will the nobles change into slaves?”. Chop Bok nodded. “Don't the result be the same, there are still slaves and nobles?”, thought Eop Bok.
“The world without slaves and nobles sounds beautiful, but my parents died and I suffered because of nobles, I just want to repay him”, said chop bok.
Un Nyun continued to worry about waiting for Tae Ha all night until the next day.
The next day a still exhausted Dae Gil leads Tae Ha as his catch to Han Nyang. A cop wants to take him as his good catch. Dae Gil refuses, he takes it to the nobleman who orders him to Gyeong Shik. Gyeong Shik was so happy that Song Tae Ha got caught back he felt a big win. But you cunning nobleman, he didn't pay the rest of the money to Dae Gil.
“Didn't I ask you to catch it in just a month?”, said Gyeong Shik looking for a reason not to pay. They took Tae Ha to prison. The waitress of her neighbor's restaurant greeted her. They're asking General Choi. Dae Gil said they were left behind. Dae Gil orders food for the three of them because everyone is starving.
At the table Dae Gil has prepared 3 servings of food. Dae Gil remembers they used to eat three. He was sad, he put Wang Son's rope in Wang Son's bowl and Choi's hair skewers in Choi's bowl. He ate as if chatting with them. He remembered that he always fed them and put food on their plates. He scraped Choi's rice bowl, as usual he found the egg hidden in the choi bowl. He picked it up and laughed winning, as usual. She ate the egg with a smile. Dae Gil suddenly lowered his head, and he cried bitterly. At times like this he really lost them.
Then suddenly came a squad of police forces directly ambushed him. Dae Gil who was not ready and exhausted finally did not dwell, he managed to be bent and arrested.
In police custody Tae Ha is already tied up to be interrogated. He was asked to work together to tell where Prince Won Son was.
“Tell me, you've been through torture. This time you may not be able to walk again”, threatened the officer.
Soon after, Chul Woong arrives with Mr. Y, whom he has just captured. He'll ask Tae Ha. But Tae Ha won't answer. Then Dae Gil also entered the interrogation room, he was immediately tied up. He was asked what when he caught Tae Ha he saw a boy toddler there. If he cooperates he is promised to be free. Tae Ha is worried, he's afraid that Dae Gil might say something. Dae Gil remembers there was a toddler boy who had been carried by Un Nyun. But Dae Gil does not want to say and cooperate. He said he didn't know.
Hwang Chul Woong threatens Lee Dae Gil to confess where he saw the prince. Hwang Chul Woong frightens him with hot iron. Dae Gil doesn't want his body exposed to hot iron, he rebels.
“You are as stubborn as two of your friends”, said Chul Woong. Dae Gil is shocked.
