Slave Hunt (Chuno)
Chapter 5
Tae Ha arrives at a village and stays at a house/store. They sleep in a room, but separate and turn their backs on each other. Tae Ha asks about Un Nyun's love/past. He said his love was long gone. Un Nyun recalled the moment her brother freed her. His sister grabs Dae Gil's face with a scythe, and Dae Gil is trapped in a burning house. Dae Gil et al concluded they must have stayed at the store.before morning they had driven his horse into the house, and were preparing to ambush him. They're late, the hunt just left.
The three of them split up and chased with horses. Seol Hwa who was asked to wait instead followed Dae Gil by wearing a horse that was there. Dae Gil realizes something is wrong, he turns back. It turns out Tae ha didn't leave. He and Un Nyun hide under the house. Tae Ha stuck his ear on the ground to hear the trail of his chasing horse.
He realized his trick was not working completely. The horse came again. Tae Ha gets ready to ride a horse. When Dae Gil returns there are no horses left. Dae Gil stuck his ears to the ground, he knew they had just gone east.
Song Tae Ha stuck his ears to the ground, he knew they were back again. He then headed for his horse. But he didn't ride her he patted the horse's ass hard and let her run away. He then fled on foot with Un Nyun.
Dae Gil comes back to the store. He saw no more horses there, he pressed his ears to the ground and heard the roar of horses running east. He then drove his horse east. Somewhere he saw an empty horse. From the temperature in his horse saddle he knew he was fooled again this time.
Tae Ha misspokes and Un Nyun realizes that they are also after Tae Ha, not just him. Un Nyun urged Tae ha with a question. Tae ha says they may be chasing him but he's not running away from them.
“Master, say who they really are?”
“Chunokkun ”, Tae Ha replied
“But they are definitely not chasing me. I am not a slave”, replied Un Nyun.
“I am also not”, replied Tae ha.
Un Nyun begins to fear and doubt, she tries to convince herself that they are not after her.
“I don't want to follow you again”, un Nyun feel insecure. Tae Ha tells him to come along until Chung Ju goes according to his original plan.
“Are you afraid I'll report you?”, Un Nyun asked. Tae Ha believes in Un Nyun, but since Un Nyun already knows her purpose, it can be dangerous because she could have been caught and forced to talk.
“But Just until there”, Un Nyun a little threatening.
Dae Gil et al finally gathered at the tavern while eating breakfast. Choi said that Tae Ha's military tactics this time defeated them. Wang Son already felt they would lose their reward, but Dae Gil still hasn't given up. He wants to investigate Tae Ha's past to be able to figure out Tae Ha's purpose.
Tae Ha and Un Nyun climb high hills (mountain). From the top of Un Nyun enjoy a beautiful view. Tae Ha from above realizes he took the wrong path. He apologized for not having a map and brought her back. This time Un Nyun laughed.
Dae Gil and the troupe arrive at the regional library and read Tae Ha's past history. Choi and Tae Ha carefully read the documents. From the document Choi read that Tae Ha insisted on remaining mourning for the crown prince as it should be 3 months, even though the official order of the kingdom was only 3 days.
Choi sympathizes with Tae Ha who is loyal to his prince/her principles. Dae Gil thinks it's stupid and is looking to die. At that time his men, Hwang Chul Woong changed his mourning clothes according to royal orders. Tae Ha reprimands him for breaking the propriety on the royal members.
Chul Woong breaks out of Tae Ha's regiment and joins his in-laws. Not long after, Tae Ha is said to have taken military supplies for his own granary. Dae Gil taunts him as a thief. Tae Ha and his men are tortured and forced to confess.
Dae Gil and Choi see the awkwardness of the story because finally Tae Ha his life was forgiven and made into slaves. Dae Gil investigates other documents, and finds that at the same time a minister has stepped down from his position.
In reality at that time, Lee Gyong Shik met with a minister (the late crown prince) the minister said he would resign from office and give way to his political opponents, on the condition that Tae Ha be saved.
Dae Gil feels he has gotten a clue to get Tae Ha.
This time Dae Gil changes strategies not following in Tae Hae's footsteps, but inhibiting or intercepting according to the direction of his goal. Dae Gil sees an inn in the village, disguises himself as a secret police officer and tells the owner while showing Tae Ha a painting
“If you see this man with a woman in mourning clothes, accept them stay and then secretly report to the local police”.
Seol Hwa criticizes Dae Gil who often pretends to be an officer and tricks people.
“Don't you also have a secret envoy badge?” seol hwa said
“Like this?”, said Dae Gil showing his other badge. Seol Hwa smiled cynically.
Hwang Chul Woong finally gave up, he decided to get out of prison and follow the will of his in-laws. He coldly followed his in-laws instructions. He also came to his wife's place when her in-laws asked. His wife showed me the writing he had written. But Chul Wong brushed and said he could not read his writing and told him to talk. His wife was worried and asked him to follow his father's will but Chul Woong said he also could not catch his wife's words . Chul-Wong then goes to his mother's house. He just saw it from his mother from outside the house. He respected and left.
Tae Ha and Un Nyun want to stay at the house that Dae Gil predicted. The owner remembers Tae Ha's face and tells him to come in. He then went to secretly report them. While resting Un Nyun finally mentioned his name Hye Won Kim surname from Joun. Hye Won felt strange having them walk together for days without mentioning her name. Hye Won remembers Tae Ha's name and his origin because he was her savior (Tae Ha once introduced himself to a monk at the temple). Tae Ha said his family did not exist after the Qing invasion and he was 8 years old in Qing.
Hye Won also said she was near death during the invasion but the young master she loved saved her. Tae Ha asks her to forget the person who died. Un Nyun said women are not the same as men, the young man was embedded in his heart. Some police came to ambush them. Tae Ha is forced to fight and defeat them. Tae Ha picks up the whistle and takes Un Nyun away from the place.Tae Ha and Un Nyun almost arrive at Chung Ju they have to pass the checkpoint. Tae Ha asks that they enter separately.
