Eternal Brotherhood Episode 3 Recap
> Eternal Brotherhood Recap
Zichuan Xiu and Bai Chuan were at the execution ground for their execution. The executioner was ready for the execution, and Si Te Lin had also brought his men, ready to raid the execution ground, just waiting for his command before they would rush in to save them. But Zichuan Xiu was very calm; he seemed certain someone would come to save him.
Bai Chuan on the side was a bit terrified, her gaze fixed on Zichuan Xiu, placing all her hopes of survival on him. Before Si Te Lin could act, a team of fully armed officials rushed in, startling the executioner. On the other side, Yang Minghua had not received news of Zichuan Xiu's execution. His subordinate reported that a team of officials had abducted Zichuan Xiu.
Yang Minghua had already guessed who had the guts to dare to raid the execution ground in broad daylight; it could be no one other than Ge Yingxing. Yang Minghua came to see Zichuan Canxing, wanting to impeach Ge Yingxing. Zichuan Canxing had anticipated he would come, so he lied that he was unwell and left. Yang Minghua didn't wait for Zichuan Canxing but waited for Ge Yingxing.
Ge Yingxing got straight to the point, saying that Zichuan Xiu was a meritorious official, not a traitor colluding with the enemy, and that all his actions were under his secret orders. Ge Yingxing even brought Ka Dan, the princess of the North Clan, to prove Zichuan Xiu's innocence, but Yang Minghua refuted them one by one.
In desperation, Ge Yingxing had no choice but to use his final move: three hundred thousand troops from Yuanzhou were stationed outside the Imperial Capital. Yang Minghua had to accept this reason, because military power was the greatest reliance. Seeing that he had achieved his objective, Ge Yingxing stated another purpose for his return to the capital, which was to take this opportunity to negotiate peace with the North Clan.
He would force the North Clan to agree by demanding Ka Dan's release, ensuring peace for Zichuan for several years. Yang Minghua could only agree. Zichuan Xiu and Bai Chuan were acquitted and released. Luo Jie and Ming Yu came to pick them up. Just as the three were arguing over who would carry Bai Chuan, Zichuan Ning, who had received the news, rushed over. She wanted to take everyone back to her residence.
Zichuan Xiu wanted to return to the military camp under the pretext of treating Bai Chuan's injuries, but Zichuan Ning stopped him. She tempted Luo Jie and Ming Yu by appealing to their interests, leaving Zichuan Xiu with no choice but to obediently follow Zichuan Ning to her residence. Zichuan Ning pulled Zichuan Xiu to see the swallows that used to be under the eaves. The swallows already had many descendants, but he had not returned for seven years.
At this moment, Ge Yingxing's guards arrived, and Zichuan Xiu slipped away when Zichuan Ning was not paying attention. Zichuan Xiu met with Ge Yingxing. The master and disciple drank and talked happily. The reason Zichuan Xiu was calm at the execution ground was that Ge Yingxing was his ultimate support. Ge Yingxing asked him to return to Yuanzhou, but Zichuan Xiu was worried about Ge Yingxing's safety and refused to go back no matter what.
Even if he had nothing here, he wanted to stay with Ge Yingxing. Zichuan Xiu's secret departure made Zichuan Ning very angry. She was ready to burn Zichuan Xiu's books. Xiao Mei complained that she always did this but could never bring herself to do it. Although Zichuan Ning was full of anger, she immediately changed her demeanor upon hearing that Zichuan Xiu had returned. She took Zichuan Xiu to his former room.
Having not returned for seven years, Zichuan Xiu recalled the scenes from the past. Zichuan Ning pulled him, asking about the meaning of the things he had mailed to her. Zichuan Xiu was reminded of someone by seeing things, missing the battles on the battlefield from back then, but unable to tell Zichuan Ning the truth, he could only make up lies to deceive her. Zichuan Ning believed him and tried to please Zichuan Xiu.
She even wanted to play a duet with him like when they were children. Zichuan Xiu seemed somewhat resistant to Zichuan Ning's closeness and quickly left, making an excuse. Ge Yingxing's proposal for peace talks with the North Clan was met with varying opinions in the court; some supported it, others opposed it. Finally, Yang Minghua unexpectedly stepped forward to support it, silencing the objectors.
As for the bottom line for the peace talks proposed by Luo Minghai, Ge Yingxing agreed to all of it, and the proposal for peace talks was smoothly passed. Yang Minghua proactively offered to remove Ge Yingxing's worries and helped Zichuan Xiu solve his position problem, but the position of Deputy Director of the Supervisory Office was equivalent to that of an errand boy. Zichuan Xiu was also mocked by Luo Jie and Ming Yu.
Yang Minghua was not of the same mind as Ge Yingxing; he was always ready to disrupt the peace talks. On the other side, he called Ge Yingxing to meet Zichuan Canxing. He deeply understood Zichuan Canxing's difficulties and promised him that he would return to the capital to take office once the border defense was secure, and would no longer let Yang Minghua dominate everything, leaving Zichuan Canxing constantly in a difficult situation.
