Episode 15 recap: Li Yi protected Cui Lin from the shadows.
Cui Lin was fighting with someone, and Li Yi, afraid that she would be harmed, took an arrow and prepared to shoot the enemy from a distance. Just as the enemy was about to strike Cui Lin's neck with a sword, Li Yi shot down that person with an arrow. In order to protect Cui Lin, Li Yi took an arrow and shot the person down. However, Cui Lin got stabbed in the abdomen by an enemy and fell into the water.
Li Yi appeared, and Cui Lin asked him why he didn't wait until she was killed before showing himself. Li Yi listened to the words of the soldiers from the Zhenxi Army, and he no longer believed Cui Lin. Cui Lin realized that Li Yi no longer believed her, so she said that it didn't matter how much she said. Just as Cui Lin was about to leave, Li Yi drew his sword and pointed it at her neck.
Cui Lin was extremely angry, and she decisively prepared to leave. Li Yi walked up to her and pointed his sword at her. The two of them started fighting, and the soldiers from the Cui family and the Zhenxi Army also joined the fight. Li Yi cut Cui Lin's neck with his sword. Cui Lin told him that it was useless for her to say anything, but this time, she truly didn't know anything.
Li Yi told Cui Lin to take her Cui family soldiers and leave immediately. The next time he saw someone, he would kill them. General Xiao Pei said that since they left Laolan Pass, this was an unprecedented battle, but they were still betrayed. Tao Zi brought food for Cui Lin and told her that she had asked the leaders, but they remained tight-lipped.
Tao Zi felt that Li Yi was unfair to blame Cui Lin without distinguishing right from wrong. Cui Lin knew that if she were in his position, she wouldn't remain calm either. She just didn't expect that Li Yi wouldn't believe her; she thought he would trust her. Cui Lin asked if Lord Cui had sold out Meng Pass, and Lord Cui felt that he did nothing wrong.
He told Cui Lin that Sun Jing had already agreed, and their Cui family soldiers were collaborating with him to drive away the Zhenxi Army. Sun Jing recalled the troops heading to Yingzhou, and Lord Cui said that he did it all for Marshal's sake, to save Yingzhou. Cui Lin asked why he didn't discuss it with her, and Lord Cui felt that Cui Lin had a special relationship with Li Yi, so it wasn't fair to him.
Seeing him like this, Cui Lin didn't say anything more. She rode her horse and left with Tao Zi. Tao Zi comforted Cui Lin, saying that Lord Cui was also doing it for the good of Yingzhou. Cui Lin said that it wasn't just because of that, she was unhappy. Tao Zi asked if it was because she was afraid that Li Yi would always misunderstand her. Cui Lin felt that if they were to meet again in the future, they would probably be enemies.
Cui Lin felt that now it seemed that only Li Yi had the ability to pacify the world and let the common people live a good life. Tao Zi said that Cui Lin used to think that only she had this ability, but Cui Lin said who knew she would encounter Li Yi, who was very capable. Given the current situation, Cui Lin felt that she had no choice but to go back and see her father.
Li Yi and General Xiao Pei discussed staying here for a period of rest before heading to Loyang City. Li Lai advised his elder brother Li Jun, thinking that this was a suitable opportunity for them to eliminate the troublesome Cui family soldiers. Cui Yi only had one child, Cui Lin, and if he died, Cui Yi would definitely believe that it was Li Yi who killed him, and they wouldn't join forces.
None of them knew that the real Cui Lin was the Lieutenant He spoken of, and the young master Cui was not Cui Yi's son Cui Lin. The young master Cui came to find Cui Lin and asked if she was still angry with him. Cui Lin told him that she was not angry, just disappointed.
The young master Cui had even kept it from her. He said that Cui Lin was with Li Yi, so he didn't tell her. Cui Lin told him to leave and rest, as there was nothing more to say between them. Cui Li and his men ambushed at the crucial point where the Cui family soldiers had to pass through. They were determined to kill the young master Cui this time. Cui Li knew that if they didn't kill the young master Cui this time, he would lose the strong support of Li Jun, and Cui Yi would not spare him. Therefore, the young master Cui had to die.
Li Yi had already guessed this matter and had been hiding in the shadows protecting Cui Lin. The young master Cui blocked a blow for Cui Lin and fell into the water. Li Yi approached Cui Lin, and she asked him why he didn't wait until she died before revealing himself. She knew that Li Yi had arrived long ago and felt that he did it on purpose.
General Pingliang, Cui Yi, received a letter from Li Yi, stating that the Zhenxi Army happened to encounter a surprise attack by the Cui family soldiers. Fortunately, Li Yi was nearby and saved Cui Lin, but he couldn't save the young master Cui. Li Yi hoped that Cui Yi would join forces with their Zhenxi Army to recapture Xichangjing. However, Cui Yi regarded Li Yi as a shameless scoundrel.
