Calmly, JeongJo comes. Everyone is shocked by Jeongjo presence, especially Paeha. Jeongjo only gives him evil smirk and tsk tsk tsk them... He talks to Paeha and Mamanim.
Paeha: “Hey, you, you!! What are you saying?”
Jeongjo: “Sorry Hwanghu Mama, but that's my honest opinion.”
Mamanim: “What are you talking about Jeongjo? Whoever he is, I choose him as my husband.”
Jeongjo: “But you can't deny I'm much more stronger than him. Now I'm alive and well. Just wait till I gather my power to revenge.”
Paeha: “Revenge what?”
Jeongjo: “You, baby emperor, asked me to kill Jung Ok but I almost died by his hands.”
Paeha: “But you receive the command. You can't fault me.”
Jeongjo: “Your fault or not, just wait for my revenge!!”
Jeongjo then leaves them. Paeha still hurts in the arm.
Mamanim helps him to go back to palace. Mamanim calls new doctor to take care
Paeha but the new doctor said there's another doctor that smarter than him. The
doctor says Arab and Persian people know how to tends injury because they are
used to wars against each other. Mamanim will call Arab doctor soon. The Arab
doctor comes to palace but Paeha is already better. The Arab doctor then gives
Paeha a lot of dates fruit. It's good for stamina and metabolism. That night
Paeha wants to try dates fruit effect. He never tastes them since the last time
dates fruit was around, there's poisoning. But Mamanim volunteers to taste it
first.
The dates is really delicious. Mamanim licks her finger and
says OK to Paeha. Mamanim eats one again and that moment Paeha steals a kiss.
Paeha goes all out this time. After that kiss, Paeha said, "Hmm, dates
fruit is yummy!" Mamanim gives Paeha lots of the fruit. Paeha eats it one
by one and the last one to "eat" is Mamanim.
Meanwhile Ayu and TilTil continues their training. Sometimes
they also play with Ayu's twin sisters Ai and Aya. They also wants to have
children soon. In Shilla, Seondeok recalls what Ayu said once again.
Ayu said
to her to forget him because he would never really love her. Bidam's words last
night still on her mind too. "Is it better to attack Yuan now?" she
asked to herself.
Jeongjo is back to Goryeo, leaving Hwon shocked. Hwon is
speechless and just think that he's foolish. Jeongjo asks him to not worry
about it and now they should prepare war against Yuan. Hwon listens to
Jeongjo's reasoning carefully. So far Yuan never benefits them and only gives
them humiliation. Jeongjo even had to be eunuch there. So they should destroy
Yuan once and for all. Hwon agrees and hears that Shilla also prepares war
against Yuan. They may join forces then.
Seondeok receives message from Hwon to join the army and
prepare for battle. In Yuan, Paeha and Mamanim also hear the news. Paeha isn't
shocked because he already calculated the move. He asks Ayu and TilTil to ready
for battle. However Mamanim warns them to be careful. Everyone gets ready to
the battlefield.
Bidam, Yushin and other Shilla army also are ready.
Paeha too.
At the battlefield, Yuan army is outnumbered because the
opponents are too strong.
Shilla and Goryeo's join forces are really strong and have
good coordination. They even burn armors, bows and arrows on Yuan's camp. Yuan's
soldiers are devastated by the loss and they are running out of arms. But Paeha
doesn't want them to lose easily. They have to fight. Paeha comes up with great
idea to use bamboo. As there are many bamboos available near the battlefield.
Paeha's idea is to use sharpened bamboos as opposed to
arrows or swords because they only have limited arms now. Yuan's soldiers start
collecting bamboos and sharpening it. While the enemy think they're already win the battle. They
party till late night. The sharpened bamboos come in handy like sears. The
enemy is oblivious to it. They don't know anything about the new sears.
Meanwhile
Mamanim and TilTil discuss about the recent tactics. They obviously won't win
if they just use sharpened bamboos. TilTil recites one tactic from Latin's
adage "divide et impera". Divide and conquer. Mamanim thinks seriously about the tactics and then stares
coldly. "We have to destroy their alliance."
