Episode 22 recap: Stalin firmly refuses marriage.

Stalin told Zi Chuan Shen Xing that Zi Chuan Shen Xing is the Ka Dan of the Bei tribe. After hearing this, Zi Chuan Shen Xing felt a bit of a headache and looked troubled. He said he never thought Stalin would also make him worry now that he's getting old. Stalin felt timid in his heart. Zi Chuan Shen Xing told Stalin that he holds a high position and is restless every day. The road to establishing authority is arduous and distant. Zi Chuan Ning is still young and can be taught slowly, but he is worried that Zi Chuan Ning will not be able to convince others after inheriting his position.

Zi Chuan Shen Xing told Stalin that Zi Chuan Ning needs a loyal minister and a loyal female official. If Stalin and Li Qing become husband and wife, they can forever assist Zi Chuan Ning. He feels that even a hundred years later, he can rest assured and meet his elder brother. Stalin thought Di Lin was also suitable, but Zi Chuan Shen Xing directly said that Di Lin's killings were too severe, and Zi Chuan Xiu was too young and not persuasive. Stalin is the most suitable candidate. At that time, Stalin will have a military force and no one will be able to invade.

Zi Chuan Shen Xing continued to tempt Stalin with his official position and the future, but Stalin had made up his mind. He even said that he would become a commoner when he returned from the war just to be with Ka Dan. If he couldn't, he would remain unmarried for life. Zi Chuan Shen Xing felt that Stalin was stubborn.

Zi Chuan Shen Xing felt that there is constant warfare between Zi Chuan and the Bei tribe, and only through joint deliberations between the two countries is there a possibility of peace. Stalin believed that his mind was made up and he could persist no matter how many years passed. Zi Chuan Shen Xing asked Stalin to keep this matter in mind and gave Stalin a token for Ka Dan, asking him to fight well. Zi Chuan Shen Xing felt that the path chosen by Stalin was too difficult.

Ka Dan knew that Stalin was now engaged to someone else. Stalin directly told Ka Dan that he wanted to be with her. Ka Dan refused directly and told Stalin that it was impossible between them and that she would only make him lose everything. Stalin told Ka Dan that he would do his best to turn the impossible into possible.

In the end, Ka Dan told Stalin that no matter what the final outcome was, she would not regret meeting him, and they entrusted each other to one another. Ka Dan was very happy, and Stalin believed that peace would definitely come. Ka Dan was also filled with hope. Zi Chuan Xiu believed that it was not impossible for Lei Hong to join the Bei tribe.

Bai Chuan advised Zi Chuan Xiu not to surrender and to be prepared for a battle with the Bei tribe. On his way, Stalin discovered Lei Hong's traces. Stalin looked at Minghui's appearance and felt heartbroken. Minghui told Stalin not to let those people find him, but Stalin didn't understand what he meant.

Luo Ming Hai is very worried about Stalin's situation. He believes that Stalin's situation depends on Zi Chuan Shen Xing. When Di Lin saw Zi Chuan Shen Xing, he bowed to him. Di Lin told Zi Chuan Shen Xing that the country comes first in his home. When Di Lin heard that he was going to battle, Zi Chuan Shen Xing wanted Lin Xiu Jia to stay at the Lord's mansion. Di Lin knew that Zi Chuan Shen Xing wanted to control him.

Lin Xiu Jia comforts Di Lin, telling him not to be distracted and that she will take care of herself. Di Lin gives the hairpin he made for his daughter to Lin Xiu Jia and then heads to the battlefield. Sai Rong Shen Huang is pleased with the sacrifices brought by his subordinates and rewards them with many things.

Lei Hong is suspected of being forced to eat raw human flesh, but Sai Rong Shen Huang trusts him and grants him a position. Zi Chuan Xiu has also caught the attention of Sai Rong Shen Huang. Zi Chuan Xiu brings news to Stalin that the Bei tribe is well-prepared this time.

Stalin believes that Sai Rong Shen Huang has always wanted to attack Zi Chuan, and now he finally has the opportunity, but this war will consume them greatly. Zi Chuan Xiu openly states that Di Lin asked him to help Stalin. Di Lin sees that the walls of the city are severely damaged and instructs those people to proactively repair them.

Zi Chuan Xiu uses the money in his hand to buy provisions. Yun Qian Xue figures out that Stalin wants to surround Wei to save Zhao, but he knows that it's not that simple. Lu Di wants to find Stalin and says that he is not a mindless hero. Yun Qian Xue is curious about how Lu Di managed to obtain provisions.
