Eternal Brotherhood Season 2 Episode 11 Recap
> Eternal Brotherhood Season 2 Recap
Canxing asked if the storyteller was still performing and learned that Li Qing and Si Yilin were now the talk of the town. Now, if she couldn't end up with Si Yilin, no one would dare marry her. All of this was orchestrated behind the scenes by Canxing. Among the current rising talents, only Zichuan Xiu, Si Yilin, and Di Lin stood out. Di Lin was the most difficult for Canxing to control.
He was deeply thoughtful, to the point that even Canxing couldn't read him sometimes. Zichuan Xiu had already betrayed him. Only if Li Qing and Si Yilin were together could Di Lin be at ease, and Canxing also believed the two were the most compatible couple. At this moment, Zichuan Ning, Di Lin, Xiujia, and Si Yilin were together, discussing the repairs of the Wayun Stronghold. The greatest shortage was funding.
Zichuan Ning hoped to request funds from the Three Ministries, beginning with diplomacy and turning to pressure if necessary. But things were not progressing as expected. The Three Ministries believed Zichuan Ning had not yet succeeded to the throne and lacked seniority, so they didn’t take her seriously and rejected her with various excuses. Zichuan Ning decided to visit Ma Wei personally.
She believed Ma Wei was the key to the Three Ministries and that her presence would earn her some respect. Li Qing no longer stopped her. In private conversation, Canxing praised Li Qing in front of Si Yilin and tried to matchmake them. Si Yilin didn’t express any opinion at the time. While patrolling that night, someone picked up the remains of a sky lantern. Si Yilin appeared unmoved and told them to continue the patrol.
When no one was around, he held the remains and wept, recognizing it as the lantern Ka Dan had released. Memories of their time together overwhelmed him with sorrow. But he knew he had to sever this emotional tie for the greater good, and he personally burned the remains of the sky lantern.
When Zichuan Ning went to see Ma Wei, before she could even speak, he had already prepared several chests of gold and jewels to help rebuild the Wayun Stronghold. Ma Wei analyzed that Canxing assigned this task to Zichuan Ning partly out of trust and partly as a test. He also believed the Three Ministries would not easily give in.
Ma Wei suggested that Zichuan Ning host a family charity banquet, where auctioning some jewels could generate significant funds, and others would follow suit. Zichuan Ning was delighted and adopted the suggestion. This time, the soldiers brought by Emperor Lu numbered fewer than ten thousand and were stationed near Bulu Village. Zichuan Xiu assigned roles to everyone before the battle. After ambushing through the night, they finally captured a Northern soldier.
This allowed Zichuan Xiu to confirm that the enemy was indeed preparing to attack, which oddly excited him, as it meant the conflict could be resolved quickly. People from all tribes in Yuanzhou gathered, urging Zichuan Xiu to come up with a strategy. Seeing them bicker nonstop, Zichuan Xiu grew furious and suggested they might as well retreat. He even planned to withdraw with the Xiu Battalion and let the ancestral temple be handed over to the Northern Tribe.
This finally silenced the group. Zichuan Xiu wanted everyone to play to their strengths and strike the enemy hard. He arranged for the Snake Tribe to lure the Northern forces into the city, followed by ambushes from the Dragon and Elf tribes. But if the Elf and Dragon tribes didn’t cooperate, he’d retreat with the Xiu Battalion and leave the others to perish, even letting Budan become a prisoner.
The Snake Tribe, known for their sharp tongues, stood on the city walls and hurled insults at Emperor Lu’s men. Enraged, Emperor Lu stormed the city to capture them, only to find no one. He ordered a search, but the city was empty. Suddenly, attackers emerged from nowhere, struck, and disappeared. Emperor Lu’s subordinates began to panic. He calmed them and ordered buildings to be set on fire to deny the enemy hiding spots.
Meanwhile, Budan prayed in the temple, hoping for the protection of their people. As Emperor Lu approached the temple, Zichuan Xiu's ambush was waiting. Emperor Lu rushed inside hoping to capture Budan but found Zichuan Xiu in disguise. During the battle, Emperor Lu grabbed Zichuan Xiu by the neck, but a young boy suddenly rushed in and stabbed him. Budan, hiding, was frantic.
As Emperor Lu pressed forward, trying to kill the boy, Zichuan Xiu shielded him and wounded Emperor Lu. Yet, he didn’t kill him—he only took a blue feather from his ornament. Emperor Lu warned that he’d return, but Zichuan Xiu was unfazed. Their victory led to cheers as everyone lifted Zichuan Xiu in celebration. But Zichuan Xiu felt he wasn’t the one who led them to victory—it was their unity and faith.
Bai Chuan wondered why he didn’t kill Emperor Lu. Zichuan Xiu confessed that even if he had, another general would rise. Compared to Yun Qianxue, he preferred Emperor Lu as an opponent. In the ancestral temple, Budan declared she now believed in Zichuan Xiu and announced that the prophecy had come true—Zichuan Xiu was the Lightbringer who would lead them into the light.
