Eternal Brotherhood Episode 18 Recap
> Eternal Brotherhood Recap
Zichuan Ning discovered someone behind her and was scared out of her wits. However, she found the person was Zichuan Xiu, and only then did her heart settle. She threw herself into Zichuan Xiu's arms and cried loudly. On the other side, Bai Chuan led the team to a village. The whole atmosphere was full of strangeness. She claimed that Zichuan Xiu had given instructions before, telling Luo Jie to go and persuade the rebels to surrender.
Luo Jie timidly went forward to persuade them to surrender, but the other party was not Lei Hong's rebels, but a tribe from Yuanzhou, named the Zuoyi tribe. The tribal chief, Lao Delun, was preparing to lead his men to fight the Xiu's Army when he saw a meat bun arc through the air. Zichuan Xiu suddenly appeared before everyone. Amidst the surprised gazes of the officers and soldiers of the Xiu's Army, he walked forward and embraced Lao Delun.
It turned out that Lao Delun and Zichuan Xiu were friends of many years. Lao Delun set up a banquet to entertain Zichuan Xiu and his party from the Xiu's Army. Zichuan Xiu introduced Zichuan Ning. Because it was inconvenient to reveal her princess identity, he called Zichuan Ning his friend named Zining.
At the same time, he told Zichuan Ning that these people were not bad themselves; calling her "wuhuarou" (pork belly) was meant to describe her skin being relatively white, not that they actually wanted to eat her. After the meal, Zichuan Xiu and Lao Delun reminisced about the past. Lao Delun felt that with his abilities, Zichuan Xiu should be doing very well now.
Zichuan Xiu did not reveal his current awkward situation; he just inquired about Lei Hong's situation with Lao Delun. Lao Delun said that Lei Hong had once tried to lobby him, but he did not agree, though some tribes chose to cooperate with Lei Hong. Zichuan Xiu prepared hot water for Zichuan Ning, who had a sprained ankle, and used the Zuoyi tribe's exclusive black grass paste to help her treat the injury.
Zichuan Xiu casually mentioned sending her back to the capital, but Zichuan Ning was absolutely unwilling and threw a princess tantrum. Zichuan Xiu had to slowly persuade her, and even stood guard outside the door for Zichuan Ning all night, just like when she was a child. That night, Zichuan Ning slept very peacefully. Early the next morning, Zichuan Xiu took Zichuan Ning to where the refugees who killed Zhuizhui were.
One was to get some revenge for her, and the second was to let Zichuan Ning feel the dangers of Yuanzhou. Zichuan Ning understood Zichuan Xiu's good intentions, but she was unwilling to leave Zichuan Xiu. Out of helplessness, Zichuan Xiu had no choice but to let her stay for a few more days. --- The situation in Yuanzhou was already under the control of the Diju Army led by Si Te Lin. Zichuan Canxing's hanging heart slightly relaxed.
He came to find Di Lin, guessing that Zichuan Ning had secretly run off to Yuanzhou, and asked Di Lin to find a way to notify Zichuan Xiu, ensuring Zichuan Ning's safety and sending her back to the Imperial Capital. Si Te Lin led his troops to Deyunxingtai. Commander Gu Lan hosted a banquet to receive them. Si Te Lin wanted to raise a thousand shi of grain, but Gu Lan showed a difficult expression.
He and his subordinate put on a double act, and finally only agreed to raise three hundred shi of grain for the Diju Army. Even so, Si Te Lin expressed his gratitude. Zhuo Lin, an official from Deyunxingtai, deliberately spilled wine on Si Te Lin. Taking the opportunity to help Si Te Lin tidy up, he revealed the matter of Gu Lan embezzling military funds. Si Te Lin wanted to know why he would tell him these things.
Zhuo Lin mentioned the disappearance of his former commander, Zha Xi, after demanding medical expenses from Gu Lan. He requested Si Te Lin to investigate this matter and prosecute Gu Lan. Si Te Lin decided to report this matter to the Shulu Si.
After Di Lin learned about it, he immediately reported the matter of Gu Lan embezzling military funds to Zichuan Canxing, and simultaneously copied other departments to maximize the impact and build momentum for Si Te Lin to punish Gu Lan. On the other side, after providing three hundred shi of food and grass, Gu Lan specially prepared gifts to give to Si Te Lin, but unexpectedly, Si Te Lin refused them on the spot. He had a premonition that the situation was bad but did not know where he had made a mistake.
