On the day of the contest, he desperately tries to sneak in one last time, but gets caught and thrown into a barn.ĭuring this time, the princess, King Bojang's niece Sukyeong dresses up as a soldier to watch the contest. Dae Joyeong is whipped and returns to being a slave. Later, Yang Manchun gives him a recommendation, but when Dae-Joyeong returns to Pyongyang and gives the recommendation to Yeon Gaesomun, Yeon Gaesomun angrily rips it up and says that no one can stop Dae Joyeong from entering the contest now except for him. He asks Dae-Joyeong why he would try cheating and he replies that in a fight, there are no rules, since for him this fight is worth more than his life. He surprises everyone and is about to smash the Geol Sa-Biwoo's head with a rock when General Yang Manchun stops the fight. Yang Manchun, not wanting to hurt him by letting him think he has a chance, tells him to fight the best fighter ( Geol sabiu) in Yodong Fort. When he hears Namseng say that he would accept anyone who had a recommendation from the Grand Martial General Yang Manchun, he runs away to Ansi Fortress and impresses Yang Manchun, who wonders if he is Dae Jungsang's son.ĭae Joyeong tells Yang Manchun that he is a slave and that he wants to be a warrior. He also (when grown up) begs the Supreme Commander's eldest son ( Yeon Namsaeng) to allow him to join the martial arts contest because the reward is emancipation (freedom), but he refuses. As a child he is often shown running away from the Supreme Commander's estate and trying to find his parents, although not knowing his parents are alive since the Supreme Commander constantly tells him that his parents are dead.ĭae Joyeong teaches himself to read and fight. His wife is ordered to never communicate with her son, or be killed along with him.ĭae Joyeong is raised by Yeon Gaesomun, the Supreme Commander of Goguryeo as a slave and is called Gaedong(dog boy)so he wouldn't question why he is a slave and discover who he was with his real name. General Dae Jungsang is told his wife and son are dead and ordered to command Goryeo Fortress. The Supreme Commander intended to kill them at first but when General Yang Manchun tells him that perhaps the heavens sent Dae Joyeong to protect their country after they die, he changes his mind. She is later found and captured by the Supreme Commander as well. So his father flees from the Supreme Commander Yeon Gaesomun, who wishes to kill the baby, only to be captured as his wife and son try to escape on a raft. Naturally, this is seen as treachery because there is already a king. When Dae Joyeong is born, a prophecy says that he will become a king.
