> Resúmenes de Zhan Zhao Adventures
Zhan Zhao expressed his gratitude to the Moon Envoy, inviting her to join them in capturing Jing Yiming and witnessing his ultimate downfall. However, bound by her promise to Granny Hanshui, she politely declined and departed to return to Hanshui Palace. As she left, Huo Linglong was surprised to learn that this mysterious envoy was actually the Ding family's daughter, Ding Yuehua.
On her way, the Moon Envoy was intercepted by the Sun Envoy, who reminded her that her time was running out. He argued that with Zhan Zhao preparing to seize the Jing Mansion, now was the perfect opportunity to retrieve Chang Hongbi while He Bo and Zhan Zhao clashed, warning her that her life would be forfeit if she failed to bring the child back.
Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Jing Yiming received news that Shao Jizu had fired two signal flares. Realizing that Zhan Zhao and his allies were closing in, he ordered his servants to proceed with their escape plan. In the underground chamber, Mrs. Jing attempted to ambush Jing Yiming. He easily overpowered her, and she bitterly denounced him as a hypocritical coward who did not deserve his standing in the martial arts world.
Recognizing that she was merely trying to stall for time, Jing Yiming ignored her insults and pulled a mechanism chain. With a loud rumble, two massive wooden cabinets fell open, revealing a mountain of ledgers and documents. Without a moment's hesitation, Jing Yiming doused the records in oil and set them ablaze. By the time Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed in, the crucial files were already reduced to ashes.
Undeterred, Jing Yiming smugly suggested that the destruction of the evidence gave him the perfect leverage to negotiate a deal with them. In another part of the estate, Huo Linglong located Ding Zhaohui, only to find him brutally tortured and severely weakened. At the same time, the Moon Envoy and Sun Envoy arrived at the mansion. Spotting a suspicious servant, they coerced him into leading them to Chang Hongbi, eventually crossing paths with Huo Linglong.
After securing the child, the Moon Envoy decided to let him stay with Zhan Zhao's allies. She lied to the Sun Envoy, claiming they were too late and that Zhan Zhao had already taken the child. Suspecting her intentions, the Sun Envoy warned her that she would have no place in Hanshui Palace if she returned empty-handed. Despite his captivity, Jing Yiming remained remarkably calm.
He pointed out to Zhan Zhao that he was merely a pawn following orders from a much larger conspiracy and proposed a compromise, promising that his secrets could help Zhan Zhao gain promotion and wealth. Zhan Zhao resolutely rejected the offer, promising to find the truth even from the ashes, which only drew a mocking challenge from Jing Yiming.
Later that night, Zhan Zhao visited Chang Hongbi, reassuring the young boy that once the lingering medicinal scent faded, he would live a normal life. Meanwhile, Bai Yutang examined Ding Zhaohui's severe injuries. He determined that the devastating force of the Great Compassion Palm had shattered his meridians and ravaged his organs, leaving internal energy therapy as their only, albeit slim, hope.
He advised Ding Yuehua to stay by her brother's side during these critical days, while Huo Linglong provided her with Linglong Honey to help ease his excruciating pain. Zhan Zhao and Huo Linglong diligently sifted through the charred remains in the chamber, managing to recover some correspondence between He Bo and Western Xia. Although these letters proved He Bo's treasonous dealings, they did not name the mastermind behind him, and the crucial official roster remained lost.
Hearing of this, Shao Jizu grew anxious, but Si Ming reassured him that without the roster, Zhan Zhao's investigation would hit a dead end, leaving them safe for the time being. Refusing to let his companions despair, Zhan Zhao comforted them and urged everyone to rest. He then returned to the secret chamber alone. While examining the clues, he successfully reconstructed the fragments of various seals.
The complete pattern revealed the emblem of the Lord of Xiangyang surrounded by his four core subordinates: He Bo, Si Ming, Dong Jun, and Shan Gui. Comparing the reconstructed seal with the recovered ledgers, Zhan Zhao and Huo Linglong realized that the mastermind managing the Zhongxiao Pavilion and controlling the officials was not He Bo, but actually Si Ming. As Zhan Zhao prepared to interrogate Zhihua, a sudden crisis arose.
Afflicted by hallucinations from the poison, a crazed Bai Yutang burst in, attempting to kill Zhihua to avenge the deaths of Zhao Zhier and Ming Zhuer. Zhan Zhao quickly intervened, subduing Bai Yutang and helping him regain his senses. Once Bai Yutang was led away, Zhan Zhao turned his attention to Zhihua.
Though the captive initially refused to speak, Zhan Zhao broke his resolve by pointing out that Jing Yiming had never seen him as a true son, but rather as a highly capable yet disposable assassin, who had already pinned all the blame on him. Realizing he had been thoroughly betrayed, a heartbroken Zhihua decided to cooperate and confessed everything about Jing Yiming's operations. Armed with this complete confession, Zhan Zhao visited Jing Yiming's cell.
He shattered the villain's hopes of bargaining by revealing that they now knew the entire truth about the Lord of Xiangyang's network and Si Ming's role in the Zhongxiao Pavilion. Zhan Zhao declared that there would be no quick death for him; instead, he would face the slow, agonizing torment of the law day after day. After Zhan Zhao left, Zhihua approached his father's cell.
He cold-bloodedly admitted that he was the one who had betrayed him and cut off his escape, before revealing that he had also personally murdered Jing Xingze, the precious son Jing Yiming had hoped would carry on his legacy. The revelation left Jing Yiming utterly devastated and trapped in absolute despair. Later, Zhan Zhao spoke with Ding Yuehua, expressing concern over her inability to return to Hanshui Palace without Chang Hongbi.
He encouraged her to return home, assuring her that the imperial court would soon deliver justice for the Ding family. He also shared that before his injuries, Ding Zhaohui had deeply regretted not believing her about Xiao Yun's death years ago, and had kept the body preserved in the hope of one day clearing Xiao Yun's name.
