Episode 16
Mei Changsu felt very uncomfortable knowing that Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng were involved in the prince's dispute, which would end in a disastrous defeat and would surely implicate Xiao Jingrui.
A swordsman in green suddenly appeared in the capital. He came to challenge the masters in the martial arts and wounded them all in one day.This swordsman in green is Zhen Ping from the Jiangzuo League who Mei Changsu urgently transferred to Beijing.Xie Yu was shocked to hear that all the nine masters he invited were seriously injured within one day, and there was no one available, so he had to stand still.
On the lonely mountain outside Jinling City, Xia Dong laid out sacrifices and poured out his heartfelt feelings in front of the tomb of his late husband Nie Feng.Mei Changsu, who came to express condolences, met her and asked to pay homage to Nie Feng.Kneeling in front of the tomb, Mei Changsu recalled his heroic appearance, feeling sad but trying to hold it down.When going down the mountain, he tested Xia Dong and confirmed that the Xuanjing Division was indeed secretly investigating the New Year's Eve murder.
When the two of them went down the mountain, they met a golden-haired wild man, and Xia Dong chased after him.It turned out that Qi Meng had been ordered many times to round up the monsters that were disturbing the mountain people. Today, he finally encountered them, but was scared away by Xia Dong. He was very frustrated.Mei Changsu asked him to talk less and do more for the sake of Prince Jing, and Qi Meng agreed repeatedly.Before getting in the car, Mei Changsu suggested that he find out what the monsters like to eat and set a trap to lure them into being rounded up.
In order to investigate the underground bank, Shen Zhui went to meet the informant in person. He fell into Xie Yu's trap and was killed after being defeated by his guard.Zhen Ping arrived but was outnumbered, and was stabbed in the left arm by Zhuo Dingfeng with a sword.Zhuo Qingyao stepped forward to entangle Zhen Ping, while Zhuo Dingfeng thrust his sword at Shen Zhui.At the critical moment, Xiao Jingrui, who had followed Zhuo Qingyao here, rushed out and blocked Shen Zhui with his body.Looking at the blood on his shoulder, Zhuo Dingfeng couldn't bear to kill again.At this time, Prince Jing's subordinates Xie Zhanying passed by on patrol and rescued them.
Xie Yu deceived Zhuo Dingfeng that Shen Zhui was behind the instigation of King Yu, and once again arranged for the father and son to enter the Shen Mansion for assassination.Xiao Jingrui tried to dissuade him, but Zhuo Dingfeng scolded him angrily, feeling angry and anxious.In the Xuanjing Department, Xia Chun and Xia Dong initially identified the killer behind the New Year's Eve murder as Zhuo Dingfeng.She had to sit still and paralyze her opponent, then wait for the right opportunity to strike.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Mei Changsu was about to go to Miaoyinzha when he saw the goldfish lantern in front of the porch, which was exactly the same as the one Nihuang had hung when he was young, which brought back sweet memories for him.Here, Nihuang misses her deeply and comes to visit her.The two stared at each other, silently expressing their boundless lovesickness and helpless separation.
Mei Changsu followed Yujin and Jingrui to Miaoyinfang to listen to Gong Yu's performance of new music.Mei Changsu pretended not to understand the rules and asked Gong Yu to entertain Jingrui's birthday party.In order not to arouse Jing Rui's suspicion, Gong Yu offered to go if he could play the eldest princess' Jiaowei Guqin.Jingrui agreed with a smile.
Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao went to Shen Mansion to assassinate him at night.They were surrounded by people led by Zhen Ping and Lie Zhanying.Zhuo Qingyao was shot by random arrows and his life was in danger.Instead of comforting them, Xie Yu complained about their inability to do things well.
Mei Changsu supported King Yu to counterattack the prince in time.He told King Yu that Lou Zhijing and the prince had jointly opened a private artillery workshop, and asked him to help Shen Zhui, who had already handed over a discount.
