Episode 20 recap: Yan Si Fang Seeks Revenge
In order to ensure the successful completion of Dai Meng Hui's mission, Yan Si Fang quickly stopped the helmsman who was about to leave, wanting to know if he only wanted to see the divine weapons in the Yamen or if any divine weapon would do, and upon learning that any divine weapon would suffice, he mentioned that the Liang family also possessed one. However, the Liang family's security was tight, and it wasn't easy to gain entry. Ji Ming Zhao thought of Gu Nian Jiu and decided to go to her and ask for help. When Gu Nian Jiu saw Ji Ming Zhao's appearance, she immediately guessed that Ji Ming Zhao wanted to conceal her identity, so she made an excuse to speak privately with her.
Ji Ming Zhao revealed her desire to see the divine weapons of the Liang family, and Gu Nian Jiu asked her to reveal the plan for the next step. Ji Ming Zhao had no choice but to disclose that she would hold a populist evening party for campaigning on the square in nine days, so that even if someone wanted to imitate it, they would be too late. Gu Nian Jiu asked Ji Ming Zhao for her agreement to jointly organize the event, and only then was she willing to take a few people to infiltrate the Liang residence.
Gu Nian Jiu used the excuse of delivering new products to the Liang residence to have Yan Si Fang, Ji Ming Zhao, Ye Wu Zhi, Meng San Xi, and the helmsman who wanted to see the divine weapons distribute gifts to everyone, while she kept the steward occupied. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng San Xi went with Yan Si Fang to the maidservant's quarters to find the master's wife. The two of them observed and identified the target, with Yan Si Fang responsible for preventing anyone from watching, while Meng San Xi passed on the message when delivering the gifts. The helmsman was very satisfied to finally see the divine weapons and immediately instructed someone to return the letter filled with satisfaction towards Dai Meng Hui to the leader. Dai Meng Hui deduced from the helmsman's actions that he intended to steal the divine weapons of the Liang family tonight, so she instructed Ji Ming Zhao to continue playing her role, while she directly occupied Ji Ming Zhao's master bedroom, using the reason that everything was for the people.
Ye Wu Zhi wanted to find Wei Dong Yang, but he hadn't been seen for ten days. She knew that the three elder ladies knew a lot, so she went to inquire with them. However, they showed no interest in the matter of his disappearance. Ye Wu Zhi mentioned that Meng San Xi had once said that there was an unspeakable past between her and Wei Dong Yang. Upon hearing this, the three elder ladies became interested, and Ye Wu Zhi knew that she would soon have some information she desired. Yan Si Fang went to Feng Ren Yuan very late for dinner tonight, and the head chef had already finished work. Qiu Yue Bai personally cooked the dishes, which Yan Si Fang found delicious and wished to eat for the rest of his life. This statement made Qiu Yue Bai think that Yan Si Fang had feelings for her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit shy. Unexpectedly, Yan Si Fang didn't bring money today and wanted to use the pendant given by Gu Nian Jiu as payment.
Yan Si Fang wrote a letter to Meng San Xi but couldn't manage to squeeze it into the room. In the end, he decided to leave the letter behind and went into the woods. Just as he opened the lid, Meng San Xi called out to him. Yan Si Fang already knew that Liang's fourth son must be connected to the disappearance of Tuoba Village, and he wanted to kill Liang's fourth son for revenge. Meng San Xi advised Yan Si Fang to gather all his enemies before taking action, but Yan Si Fang was worried that if he continued living with Meng San Xi and the others, he would become more attached to that kind of life and lose his desire for revenge. Yan Si Fang was confident in his mechanical skills, but Meng San Xi believed that he underestimated the martial arts experts. As a result, Meng San Xi took a pill that could restore him to eighty percent of his strength and sparred with Yan Si Fang. Yan Si Fang relied on his mechanical armor to wear down Meng San Xi until he collapsed from exhaustion. With his needles almost depleted, Yan Si Fang helped Meng San Xi back to their residence. However, when they arrived at the courtyard gate, they discovered a strong fragrance of incense and an empty room, not knowing where to find the others. Suddenly, Da Shen appeared and said they had seen Ye Wu Zhi and Ji Ming Zhao being abducted by members of the gang and had already left the city gates. Yan Si Fang hurriedly went to chase after them with Meng San Xi. It was already curfew, and it was difficult to leave the city with high city walls. However, Yan Si Fang had a secret weapon and managed to climb over the city wall with Meng San Xi on his back. They then rode a fast horse that was originally intended for escape to pursue the abductors.
Dai Meng Hui had been tied up in a carriage by the gang leader to prevent anyone from getting hurt. In order to maintain the ruse, Dai Meng Hui had to cooperate and allow himself to be tied up. Unexpectedly, Yan Si Fang caught up and quickly defeated everyone with his mechanical armor. The yamen officers also arrived, so Yan Si Fang and Meng San Xi pretended to be unconscious on the carriage to avoid revealing their identities. Dai Meng Hui had no choice but to take credit for incapacitating the thieves, but the yamen officers were skeptical when they saw Dai Meng Hui tied up so tightly.
Meng San Xi found Wei Dong Yang and suspected him of leaking the information that led to Ye Wu Zhi's kidnapping by the Mo Ru Shi. He confronted Wei Dong Yang about it. Wei Dong Yang admitted to being a member of the San Qi Dao, but he claimed that he never leaked any information. To prove his innocence, he decided that Meng San Xi should come to him in ten days to seek answers.
