Episode 29 recap: Ye Ding Zhi Prepares to Assist the Marquis of Xuan
In Episode 29, Si Kong Chang Feng arrived at the seaside during a thunderstorm. Knowing the time had come, he quickly began his confrontation. Zhong Fei Zhan had already met with the two masters, and Ye Ding Zhi had everything in place for the small dance performance. The carriage had also arrived, and to Ye Ding Zhi's surprise, Yi Wen Jun stepped out - the two lovers finally reunited, with Yi Wen Jun unable to contain her longing for Ye Ding Zhi.
Ye Ding Zhi told Yi Wen Jun that he had actually gone to the royal palace on the day of their wedding, but was unable to bring her away. Tenderly caressing Yi Wen Jun, the two embraced and wept together, their love finally reunited.
Yue Qing knew the plan had succeeded. Yue Qing's subordinate was ready to battle Ye Ding Zhi's people, saying they all deserved to die. Unwittingly, the subordinate described the touching scene of Yi Wen Jun and Ye Ding Zhi's reunion, remarking on Yi Wen Jun's exceptional beauty.
Ye Ding Zhi was immersed in the blissful moment of Yi Wen Jun's arrival, sometimes feeling it was too good to be true. At this time, he received a message from his subordinate, informing him that they planned to lure the villains into the South Pass, and that Luo Qing Yang's assistance was crucial in successfully bringing Yi Wen Jun out. Upon changing her clothes, Yi Wen Jun reunited with Ye Ding Zhi.
The Grand Supervisor planned to inform Xiao Xie that their side's actions were about to begin. Xiao Xie first went to see the Emperor, then informed him that Yi Wen Jun had been taken away by Ye Ding Zhi. Xiao Xie said the person capable of easily helping Ye Ding Zhi must be the Marquis of Xuan, since Bai Li Dong Jun had also tried to snatch Yi Wen Jun before. Xiao Xie wanted to sow discord and have the Emperor revoke the Marquis of Xuan's military power.
The Emperor then entrusted this matter to Xiao Xie, who was elated. Late at night, the ministers were summoned to the palace, unaware of what had happened. Xiao Ruo Jin and Xiao Ruo Feng quickly learned about it, realizing they had become Xiao Xie's greatest enemies, and Xiao Ruo Feng had a premonition that this was aimed at them.
The Grand Supervisor then issued a decree accusing the Marquis of Xuan of treason, ordering a thorough investigation. The Emperor also sent a secret edict to Xiao Ruo Feng, instructing him to bring the Marquis of Xuan and Bai Li Dong Jun back to Tiankui City.
Bai Li Dong Jun was still unaware of the situation. Yue Yao received a message by pigeon about the events in Tiankui City, informing Bai Li Dong Jun that the Marquis of Xuan had been summoned to the palace on charges of treason.
Bai Li Dong Jun found his father and grandfather, and expressed that he would go in their place. However, the father naturally would not let his son take the risk. But in this past year, Bai Li Dong Jun's sword skills had greatly improved. The father said that he could only agree to let him go if Bai Li Dong Jun could defeat him.
Yue Yao also gained the recognition of the Lord of the West, as long as Bai Li Dong Jun brought back the people he was sent to retrieve. After a year of arduous training, to everyone's surprise, Bai Li Dong Jun actually managed to defeat his father. Seeing Bai Li Dong Jun's progress over the past year, the father and grandfather were very pleased.
At night, the Lord of the West was drinking with his grandson. Bai Li Dong Jun knew that his grandfather had not wanted him to have too difficult a life, so many family matters had not been shared with him. Bai Li Dong Jun's former dream was to be a wandering knight, but now the family had issues that he needed to fight for.
Ye Ding Zhi was buying things in the town when he overheard people discussing the Lord of the West's alleged treason. When Ye Ding Zhi returned, the Master had arrived. Seeing the two men drinking peacefully, the Master was about to leave, but Ye Ding Zhi wanted to inquire about the Lord of the West's treason allegations. The Master did not know the full details, but said that as long as someone wanted to frame the Lord of the West, the truth would eventually come out, and that it was likely Yi Wen Jun's departure that was being used to implicate the Lord of the West, all orchestrated by Xiao Ruo Feng.
The Master left first, and Ye Ding Zhi felt that since so many were framing the Lord of the West, he must return to the capital to help. Ye Ding Zhi also asked Yi Wen Jun if there was anything he needed to do upon returning.
Soon, the Lord of the West received an imperial decree. The Lord had already prepared, and the eunuch who announced the decree was fearful. The decree accused the Lord's son of treason, but the Lord found it amusing. At this time, Xiao Ruo Feng had already brought men to the Lord's manor, ready to arrest him. The Lord changed his clothes and walked out, and Xiao Ruo Feng said he would not mistreat the Lord if he was truly innocent.
Ye Ding Zhi had packed his bags to head to the capital, and Yi Wen Jun helped prepare his luggage, still worried about him as he departed.
