Episode 30 recap: The Marquis and Others Head to Tianqi City
In episode 30, Bai Li Dong Jun encountered Xiao Ruo Feng, whom he had not seen for a year. But their attitudes had changed. Bai Li Dong Jun candidly expressed his disapproval of Xiao Ruo Feng's actions, as his youngest sworn brother had ended up in an opposing position.Bai Li Dong Jun had initially thought that Xiao Ruo Feng would prevent the injustice from happening, but Xiao Ruo Feng clearly stated that he would not let any mishaps befall the Marquis of the West this time, and that he would be the first to die if anything went wrong. After Xiao Ruo Feng left, Yue Yao also came, and she was no longer convenient to travel with them. Yue Yao said that she would join them after the situation was resolved.
The next day, Xiao Ruo Feng led the Marquis of the West to head for Tianqi City. Their journey back to Tianqi City was not an easy one, as there were already people lying in ambush, planning to assassinate them. This was the largest single mission the Underworld had undertaken in nearly a decade. At this time, Su Zhe from the Underworld also arrived.
The three of them traveled together and directly blocked Xiao Ruo Feng's path. Bai Li Dong Jun stood at the forefront, and the other side, upon learning of Xiao Ruo Feng's identity, claimed that they were not here to kill, but getting close to Xiao Ruo Feng was not easy, and they were immediately blocked by Mu Nuan, who also commented that Su Zhe looked much older.
Su Zhe also mentioned the battle from years ago. He had come for the Marquis of the West, but did not expect Li Chang Sheng to show up. They had been thinking of killing Li Chang Sheng to become the number one in the world, but they were actually still afraid of Li Chang Sheng, so they had no choice but to leave first.
The Marquis of the West and Mu Nuan had not seen each other for many years. In fact, Li Chang Sheng was also an imitation of Su Leng, and they had managed to deceive Su Zhe's group. This was something Yue Yao had told Bai Li Dong Jun before leaving, and they had not aroused any suspicion.
The reason the Underworld people let them leave was that they had received another mission, and the client of the second mission was even more prestigious than the client of the first mission. It was Xiao Xie who had requested the killing of the Marquis of the West, while the request to save the Marquis of the West came from the Emperor. Xiao Xie did not expect Li Chang Sheng to return, and he was very agitated that Li Chang Sheng was still opposing him. His subordinate proposed to capture both Li Chang Sheng and the Marquis of the West, but was beaten up for it.
The Grand Tutor also learned that Li Chang Sheng was traveling with the Marquis of the West this time, even though Li Chang Sheng had said he would not return to Tianqi City, so the Grand Tutor sent people to carefully investigate Li Chang Sheng's whereabouts.
Soon, Bai Li Dong Jun and his group arrived at the Tianqi City. Xiao Ruo Feng needed to go back and report, but now the Grand Secretariat was very troubled by the matter of interrogating the Governor of the West, as they did not want to offend him, so everyone was making excuses.
Ye Ding Zhi had already come to Tianqi City, and he first went to find Hu the Censor. Ye Ding Zhi said he came to ask Hu the Censor for help, but Hu had already guessed it was about the Governor of the West before Ye Ding Zhi even spoke. Ye Ding Zhi also mentioned the matter of Qiu Lu Bai, and Hu the Censor, who already liked to drink, now wanted to have a drink with Bai Li Dong Jun.
Hu the Censor went to find the Governor of the West, and Bai Li Dong Jun was also there. Hu the Censor wanted to try the Qiu Lu Bai, but Bai Li Dong Jun did not even give him any face. The Governor of the West wanted to know about the matter of the Censorate, and naturally knew that Hu the Censor came to inquire about the situation. The Governor then had Bai Li Dong Jun speak for him, saying that whether he lived or died in this trip to Tianqi City, he would confront the accuser and restore his own innocence.
Bai Li Dong Jun drank in front of Hu the Censor, who himself loved drinking. Hu the Censor assured the Governor that he would be safe, and before leaving, he told Bai Li Dong Jun to also be careful of the dangers. After Hu the Censor came out, he was stopped by two men in black, who wanted to know what the Governor had said. Just as Hu the Censor was about to retaliate, Ye Ding Zhi appeared first, and Hu the Censor quickly put away his weapon.
After learning that Bai Li Dong Jun was unharmed, Ye Ding Zhi was temporarily relieved. Ye Ding Zhi and Shen Jing Zhou met outside the city, and both admired each other's swords. Ye Ding Zhi revealed his true identity, and Shen Jing Zhou said she did not care about Ye Ding Zhi's identity. The Emperor had said from the Censorate that they now did not dare to make reckless judgments, and Hu the Censor said the Governor of the West had not committed treason, which put the Emperor at ease, and he then reprimanded another Censor.
Now as for how to judge Xiao Shuo, the Censor gave his own opinion, saying that the Governor of the West must not know about this matter. In fact, all of this was the Emperor's way of giving his son Xiao Shuo a lesson, placing him in a dilemma.
