Slave Hunt (Chuno)
Chapter 23
Chop Bok that night was astonished because he did not manage to meet Eop Bok and his slave friends in his arms. Chop Bok didn't find Eop Bok that night, he cried. Dae Gil and Song Tae Ha spread out to face Chul Woong's men. The episode closes with an impressive scene. Lee Dae Gil and Song Tae Ha run from the opposite direction towards one meeting point. The two men ran while preparing their fists. They landed and finished at the same time.
Lee Dae Gil and Song Tae Ha run together from opposite directions. Lee Dae Gil lands by hitting Chul Woong's men behind Tae Ha. And so did Song Tae Ha manage to cripple chul woong's men who followed Dae Gil. When they finished they smiled and looked at each other.
“Follow me”, Tae Ha said. But Dae Gil protests and asks Tae Ha to follow him
“Which is more expert on hunting people is also an expert on escaping”, he explained.
Tae Ha also said they sneak through the yard and people's homes. They managed to sneak up and reach his house. Dae Gil peeks and searches for Jumo (servant/owner of the restaurant), their best friend. Big Jumo was busy being bullied by his painter lover. Soon little Jumo appeared. Little Jumo solemnly prayed for General Choi's safety. Lee Dae Gil hurriedly pulled Little Jumo into his room. He closed his mouth and said not to be surprised and not to make a fuss. Little Jumo is shocked to see Dae Gil.
By Gn. Worak, Choi and Jagwi have received messages from Dae Gil. Dae Gil asks Jagwi to take Un Nyun and the little prince down the mountain and meet him on the way.
"Police and captain Oh come here often looking for you”, Little Jumo is anxious. Dae Gil just asked her to shut up. Dae Gil also said that General Choi is fine. Little Jumo was relieved and pleased. Dae Gil then asked to bring food
“2 servings of ya”, says Dae Gil. Little Jumo thinks Dae Gil must be really hungry.
Song Tae Ha actually hid nearby, he was still worried. Finally she also felt calm because Dae Gil's place was temporarily safe.
Dae Gil then asks if the prince trapped them.
“If the prince traps us there will definitely be more troops and archers in various places”
Dae Gil then asks if the prince trapped them.
“If the prince traps us there will definitely be more troops and archers in various places”
Dae Gil felt like they were getting into a tiger's mouth
“It looks like Hwang Chul Woong could know your plan”, Dae Gil warned.
The slaves successfully attacked their government offices gathered in the forest. They were quite relieved because their attack was successful. But Eop Bok felt disbelief as well because everything looks easy and smooth. They then plan the next day they will attack the court office. Geun Bo promised to gather 200 more people with them. They will hide in the forest that night until it is safe, unless Geun Bo says he will leave because there is still business.
Geun Bo went somewhere, he changed clothes. He then went to see Lee Gyong Shik.
At the Chinese embassy, the Chinese ambassador analyzed that Song Tae Ha was already in Han Nyang. He felt it was time to prepare to leave Korea while giving a secret message to Song Tae Ha. conveying their request to the king, the 14-year-old female servants, about 1000-2000 people, they will leave for China by sailing.
From the Chinese captives who were frank with Un Nyun, Jagwi was informed that the man who killed his men turned out to be from the military academy (leader of Chul Woong). Jagwi felt that at times in her hiding place, there was already someone who knew. He asked everyone to prepare to move.
Dae Gil again asks little Jumo to look for information circulating outside. Little Jumo finally reported that parents were starting to panic because the Chinese envoy would ask thousands of girls in their 14s to be taken to China on board. From the information heard by little Jumo Song Tae Ha concluded it contained a secret message from the Chinese envoy to him. They're waiting for him on the 14th in the harbor, which means 3 more days.
Tae Ha and Dae Gil think of a way to get there just in time. In a fugitive situation it is difficult for them to move quickly and pick up Un Nyun and the little prince. Dae Gil then asked Little Jumo again to arrange to deliver the message quickly to Jagwi in Gn. Wavy.
So that they can meet in the middle of the journey. Don't forget Dae Gil promised that he would verbally deliver a little jumo private message to General Choi. Little Jumo immediately eagerly helped Dae Gil, he sent someone with double pay and need no matter how many horses he paid. Not forgetting that he remembered their meeting place.
Dae Gil and Song Tae Ha plan together the way they escaped safely from Han Nyang towards their destination. They realize that they will definitely be targeted and chased either by the police or by Chul Woong's men. They then decide Dae Gil as a tiger released into the arena lunging into the heart of the opponent. And Tae Ha who will go around finish off the archers who hide surrounded them.
Eop Bok went home to his employer. He felt lonely for not seeing Chop Bok. He's looking for Chop Bok. To his shock he knew Chop Bok was sold and married to another slave. He was angry and determined to meet his master with a sharp weapon. He asked Chop Bok.
"You are human or not, how can you want to sell people like cows.”, cried Eop Bok.
Eop Bok also hit his employer with a machete.
At her new home Chop Bok does not want to be married, she says she already has someone she loves. Suddenly he heard Eop Bok's voice outside screaming for him and calling out to him. Chop Bok immediately ran to meet and hug Eop Bok.
“Why didn't you escape from earlier”, said Eop Bok
“If I run, I'm afraid you can't find me” Chop Bok said
The two of them then fled together.
Geun Bo and the slaves prepared, they would attack the court office, but Eop Bok had not come yet. The slaves were also astonished because Geun Bo did not bring 200 other slaves whom he promised would help them. Geun Bo smiled cynically, the slaves began to feel Geun Bo's movements look awkward. Although they were suspicious but it was too late, they were framed. The slaves were shocked to be betrayed by Geun Bo whom they trusted and respected. The police surrounded them and Geun Bo did not hesitate to slaughter them.
That night Dae Gil and Tae Ha have to start moving. Just starting to move he's been caught by undercover cops who've been scattered everywhere. The policeman blew the whistle as loudly as he called the other members. Dae Gil bravely lunged at them all like a tiger. Song Tae Ha climbed up on the rooftops of the house, he crippled the archers dearly standing by on the rooftops of the house. Tae Ha then acts, he turns to archery the police from above. He didn't forget to help Dae Gil finish off his opponent.
Dae Gil sees his opponents already sprawled, he looks up and smiles at Tae Ha. Their cooperation succeeded. Arriving at the forest Eop Bok asks Chopn Bok to Gn. worak where the runaway slaves gather. Once he knew that Eop Bok had killed his master, he could not bear Eop Bok in danger. Chop Bok wants Eop Bok to run away with him.
