Episode 18 recap: Di Lin decided to thoroughly investigate Gu Lan.
Zi Chuan Ning secretly untied the rope, wanting to escape the fate of being eaten by those monsters. Zi Chuan Ning hid in the woods, and just when it seemed like she was about to be found, she saw Zi Chuan Xiu approaching. Feeling wronged, she hugged Zi Chuan Xiu and burst into tears. Zi Chuan Xiu smiled and said that he now felt relieved seeing Zi Chuan Ning's fighting abilities. Suddenly, Zi Chuan Xiu became alert as he sensed someone approaching. It turned out to be Ah Guai, and Zi Chuan Xiu was very happy.
Mao Cai and Bai Chuan had been walking for a long time and hadn't encountered any people from the Bei tribe, which seemed strange to them. Bai Chuan noticed something peculiar ahead, which made them cautious. Suddenly, Bai Chuan detected signs of danger and instructed them to take action. Everyone became frightened and reluctant to move forward.
At that moment, Bai Chuan informed everyone that when Zi Chuan Xiu arrived, he had entrusted an important task to Ming Yu, which was to persuade the rebels if necessary. Ming Yu couldn't understand why such a dangerous task was assigned to her. Mao Cai believed that even though they were surrounded, they still needed to display their strength.
Ming Yu shouted loudly for Lei Hong and even told him that they had already been surrounded. However, as soon as she mentioned surrendering without killing, they were immediately surrounded by people. The person who approached was De Lun from the Zuo tribe, and just as Ming Yu was preparing to take action, Zi Chuan Xiu arrived and handed a steamed bun to De Lun. De Lun recognized Zi Chuan Xiu.
It turned out that all these people were Zi Chuan Xiu's friends, which made Zi Chuan Ning happy for him. Everyone was delighted, but Ming Yu felt a bit frustrated and unhappy, feeling like she had been played by Zi Chuan Xiu.
A child approached and smelled the fragrance on Zi Chuan Ning's body. Zi Chuan Xiu introduced Zi Chuan Ning as Zi Ning to De Lun in order to conceal her identity. Zi Chuan Ning was still afraid of Ah Guai, but Zi Chuan Xiu explained that "wuhua rou" (five-flavored pork) meant having good skin among their people. This reassured Zi Chuan Ning.
De Lun knew that Zi Chuan Xiu must have encountered something significant this time, given his evasive behavior. Zi Chuan Xiu told De Lun that he had come to find the traitor Lei Hong. De Lun informed Zi Chuan Xiu that Lei Hong had approached him before, asking him to join the rebellion, but De Lun had refused. De Lun had great confidence in Zi Chuan Xiu's ability to kill the rebels. Zi Chuan Xiu told De Lun that although his disease looked fierce, he was afraid to kill people.
Zi Chuan Xiu wanted Zi Chuan Ning to go back, but Zi Chuan Ning refused. Zi Chuan Xiu said that life in the military camp was very painful, but Zi Chuan Ning believed that she could definitely live here. Zi Chuan Ning knew that Zi Chuan Xiu must be keeping watch outside. She kept calling out to Zi Chuan Xiu, and he responded patiently, over and over again. But deep down, he knew that they were no longer from the same world.
Siyi Lin, knowing that he was the commander, couldn't bear to see his subordinates injured so severely, so he personally went to gather medicine to treat their wounds. This act touched Gu Lei, and he willingly offered medicine from his own army for Siyi Lin's urgent use. Zi Chuan Xiu found the old lady who had bullied Zi Chuan Ning, and she voluntarily admitted to killing the horse. She also said that they had had enough of these dark and hopeless days. Zi Chuan Xiu deliberately frightened those people and left when he saw that they weren't completely heartless.
Zi Chuan Ning also refused to accept the jade bracelet that the old lady returned to her. Zi Chuan Xiu told Zi Chuan Ning that she shouldn't have come to Yuanzhou in the first place. Zi Chuan Ning realized that she had grown up in abundance and didn't know about the hardships people outside were experiencing. She decided to tell her uncle about these things.
Zi Chuan Shen Xing told Di Lin that he strongly suspected Zi Chuan Ning had gone to find Zi Chuan Xiu. Siyi Lin wanted the Governor to arrange for provisions, but the merchants disagreed and refused to donate. The Governor secretly instructed his subordinates to create obstacles for Siyi Lin.
Siyi Lin pretended to be unaware. He was entrusted with the investigation of the Xi Cha case. Zi Chuan Ning was very afraid of bugs, and Zi Chuan Xiu knew about her fear and had Bai Chuan accompany her. When Zi Chuan Xiu left, Zi Chuan Ning received a letter from Di Lin, summoning Zi Chuan Xiu back.
Siyi Lin wanted to gain control of the situation and reported to Zi Chuan Shen Xing, letting him decide whether to thoroughly investigate Gu Lan.
